Since a compound represented by the general formula (I) (wherein definition of each group is as described in the specification), a salt thereof, a solvate thereof, or a prodrug thereof has strong and sustaining intraocular pressure lowering activity and, further, has no side effect on eyes such as ocular stimulating property (hyperemia, corneal clouding etc.), aqueous humor protein rise etc., it has high safety, and can be an excellent agent for preventing and/or treating glaucoma etc.

Bicyclic compound and use thereof for medical purposes

Since a compound represented by the general formula (I) (wherein definition of each group is as described in the specification), a salt thereof, a solvate thereof, or a prodrug thereof has strong and sustaining intraocular pressure lowering activity and, further, has no side effect on eyes such as ocular stimulating property (hyperemia, corneal clouding etc.), aqueous humor protein rise etc., it has high safety, and can be an excellent agent for preventing and/or treating glaucoma etc. 

Provided is a compound which has strong intraocular pressure lowering action and has no side effect on eyes such as ocular stimulating property, humor protein rise etc. Since a compound represented by the formula (I): (wherein definition of each group is as described in the specification), or a salt thereof, a solvate thereof, or a prodrug thereof has strong intraocular pressure lowering activity and, further, has no side effect on eyes such as ocular stimulating property (hyperemia, corneal clouding etc.), aqueous humor protein rise etc., it has high safety, and can be an excellent agent for preventing and/or treating glaucoma etc.

A pharmaceutical composition for topical administration for prevention and/or treatment of diseases associated with decrease in bone mass comprising an EPagonist as an active ingredient. An EPagonist, in which includes a compound possessing prostaglandin skeleton as a representative, possesses promoting action on bone formation, so it is useful for prevention and/or treatment of diseases associated with decrease in bone mass (bone diseases such as primary osteoporosis, secondary osteoporosis, bone metastasis of cancer, hypercalcemia, Paget's disease, bone loss and bone necrosis, postoperative osteogenesis, alternative therapy for bone grafting).

Pharmaceutical composition for treatment of diseases associated with decrease in bone mass comprising EP4 agonist as active ingredient

An 8-azaprostaglandin represented by formula (I) (wherein all symbols have the same meanings as described in the specification), a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof or a cyclodextrin clathrate thereof. Since the compound represented by formula (I) binds to EP2 subtype among PGE receptor strongly, it is useful for preventive and/or treatment for immune diseases, allergic diseases, neuronal cell death, dysmenorrhea, premature birth, abortion, baldness, retinal neuropathy such as glaucoma, erectile dysfunction, arthritis, pulmonary injury, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary emphysema, bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hepatic injury, acute hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, shock, nephritis, renal failure, circulatory diseases, systemic inflammatory response syndrome, sepsis, hemophagocytosis syndrome, macrophage activation syndrome, still disease, Kawasaki Disease, burn, systemic granuloma, ulcerative colitis, Crohn disease, hypercytokinemia at dialysis, multiple organ failure, or bone diseases etc.

8-azaprostaglandin derivative compound and agent comprising the compound as active ingredient

A medicinal composition for inhalation containing a continuous-release type prodrug of an EP2 agonist topically exhibits a prolonged bronchodilating and antiinflammatory effects. Namely, the medicinal composition for inhalation containing a continuous-release type prodrug of an EP2 agonist is useful as a safe preventive and/or a remedy for respiratory diseases (for example, asthma, pulmonary injury, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary emphysema, bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, adult respiratory distress syndrome, cystic fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension or the like) without causing any systemic effect such as lowering blood pressure. Thus, a safe and useful remedy for respiratory diseases is provided.
