Abstract
[Problem] To provide a compound useful as a MTand/or MTreceptor agonist. [Solution] The present inventors have studied on MTand/or MTreceptor agonists, and have confirmed that indole compounds have the activity. As a result, the present invention is accomplished. That is, a compound represented by formula (I) or a salt thereof according to the present invention has a MTand/or MTreceptor agonistic activity and has a low ability of migrating into central nervous system. Therefore, the compound or a salt thereof can be used as a peripheral MTand/or MTreceptor agonist, and therefore can be used as a therapeutic and/or prophylactic agent for urinary incontinence, particularly stress urinary incontinence and mixed urinary incontinence.
