A compound which is useful as a dopamine D1 receptor positive allosteric modulator (D1 PAM) is provided. The present inventors have studied a compound which has a dopamine D1 receptor positive allosteric modulating activity and is useful as an active ingredient of a pharmaceutical composition for preventing and/or treating cognitive impairment, negative symptoms of schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, drug addictions, or the like, and they have thus found that a heterocyclic acetamide compound has a dopamine D1 receptor positive allosteric modulating activity, thereby completing the present invention. The heterocyclic acetamide compound of the present invention has a dopamine D1 receptor positive allosteric modulating activity and can be used as an agent for preventing and/or treating cognitive impairment, negative symptoms of schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, drug addictions, or the like.

Heterocyclic acetamide compound

[Problem] A compound which is useful as a dopamine D1 receptor positive allosteric modulator (D1 PAM) is provided. [Means for Solution] The present inventors have studied a compound which has a dopamine D1 receptor positive allosteric modulating activity and is useful as an active ingredient of a pharmaceutical composition for preventing and/or treating cognitive impairment, negative symptoms of schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, drug addictions, or the like, and they have thus found that a heterocyclic acetamide compound has a dopamine D1 receptor positive allosteric modulating activity, thereby completing the present invention. The heterocyclic acetamide compound of the present invention has a dopamine D1 receptor positive allosteric modulating activity and can be used as an agent for preventing and/or treating cognitive impairment, negative symptoms of schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, drug addictions, or the like.

Object Provided are &#x3b2;-form crystal, &#x3b3;-form crystal, and &#x3b1;-form crystal of a benzoxadiazole derivative, wherein a uniform crystal having sufficient qualities can be obtained with high reproducibility, and they can be anytime supplied as crystals of drug substance for use in producing pharmaceuticals, are particularly suitable for mass synthesis in industrial production, hardly exhibit hygroscopicity and have particularly excellent photo-resistance. Means for Resolution A solving means includes &#x3b2;-form crystal of 4-[3-isopropyl-5-(6-phenyl-3-pyridyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl]-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole, which shows an endothermic peak at 145 to 150&#xb0; C. according to a differential scanning calorimeter analysis (DSC analysis) and shows X-ray powder diffraction peaks at 9.8, 11.1, 12.8, 13.3, 17.1, 20.2, 21.2 and 22.3 in 2&#x3b8;(&#xb0;), and the like.

Crystals of benzoxadiazole derivative

To provide a compound which is useful as an NMDA receptor antagonist. The present inventors have studied a compound having an NMDA receptor antagonistic action, and confirmed that the fused indane compound of the present invention has an excellent NMDA receptor antagonistic action, thereby completed the present invention. The fused indane compound of the present invention has an excellent NMDA receptor antagonistic action and can be used as a prophylactic and/or therapeutic agent for Alzheimer's disease, cerebrovascular dementia, Parkinson's disease, intractable depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, migraines, or the like.

Fused indane compound

The invention relates to a triazole derivative with an activity inhibiting glycine transporter and for use as a pharmaceutical drug, and a novel triazole derivative. The inventive triazole derivative has an excellent activity inhibiting glycine transporter and is useful as a therapeutic agent of dementia, schizophrenia, cognitive disorders, or cognitive disorders involved in various diseases such as Alzheimer disease, Parkinson's disease, or Huntington disease or the like, or spasm involved in diseases such as nerve degenerative diseases and cerebrovascular disorders, or the like. Particularly, the pharmaceutical drug is useful for the amelioration of learning disability of dementia and the like.
