Abstract: The present invention relates to a compound formula wherein R1 is phenyl, pyridyl, etc., each of which may be substituted with one or two substituent(s); R2 is hydrogen, an amino protective group, etc.; R3 and R4 are each independently hydrogen, lower alkyl or hydroxy(lower)alkyl; R5 is aryl, ar(lower)alkyl, etc., each of which may be substituted with one, two or three substituent(s); R8 is hydrogen or halogen, X is a single bond or O—CH2—, and n is 0, 1 or 2, or a salt thereof. The compound [I] of the present invention and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are useful for the prophylactic and/or the therapeutic treatment of pollakiurea or urinary incontinence.

Abstract: A compound of the formula: wherein R1 is a hydrogen atom or a carboxy protective group, R2, R5, R6 and R7 are each a hydrogen atom or a hydroxy group, R3 and R4 are each a hydrogen atom, or are combined together to form an epoxy group or a single bond. R8 and R9 are each an optionally substituted aryl group, and X is a single bond or a methylene group, in addition to the above definitions. R2 and R3 may be combined together to form a single bond; provided that when R2, R5, R6 and R7 are each a hydrogen atom, then R3 and R4 are combined together to form an epoxy group; when R3 and R4 are combined together to form a single bond, then at least one of R2, R5, R6 and R7 is a hydroxy group and the others are hydrogen; and when R3 and R4 are each a hydrogen atom, then at least one of R2, R5, R6 and R7 is a hydroxy group and the others are hydrogen, and X is a methylene group, or its salt.
