Abstract: [Problem] A compound which is useful as an agent for treating breast cancer is provided. [Means for Solution] As a result of intensive studies on a compound having a Complex I inhibitory effect and an AMPK activation effect, the present inventors found that a bicyclic nitrogen-containing aromatic heterocyclic amide compounds of the present invention has an excellent Complex I inhibitory effect and the AMPK activation effect, furthermore, has a cell proliferation inhibitory effect with respect to not only human PIK3CA mutation-positive breast cancer cell lines in which MCT4 is not expressed but also human breast cancer cell lines which do not have mutation of PIK3CA in which MCT4 is not expressed, and exhibits an anti-tumor effect in a human PIK3CA mutation-positive breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-453 cell in a cancer-bearing mouse in which the MCT4 is not expressed, thereby completing the present invention.

Abstract: Substituted imidazo[1,5-a]quinoxalin-4-ones are useful as phosphodiesterase 9 inhibitors.

Abstract: Substituted imidazo[1,5-a]quinoxalin-4(5H)-ones are useful as PDE9 inhibitors.

Abstract: [Object] A compound which is useful as an EP1 receptor antagonist is provided. [Means for Solution] The present inventors investigated EP1 receptor antagonists, and confirmed that a compound having a sulfonamide structure, in which the nitrogen atom of the sulfonamide structure is substituted with 2-fluoropropyl group, 3-fluoro-2-methylpropyl group or the like, has a potent EP1 receptor antagonistic action, thereby completing the present invention. The sulfonamide compound of the present invention has a potent EP1 receptor antagonistic action and can be used as an agent for preventing and/or treating a lower urinary tract symptom or the like.

Abstract: [Object] To provide a therapeutic and/or prophylactic agent for urinary frequency, urinary urgency, and urinary incontinence associated with various lower urinary tract diseases including overactive bladder, various lower urinary tract diseases accompanied by lower urinary tract pain, such as interstitial cystitis, chronic prostatitis, and the like, and various diseases accompanied by pain, based on an excellent trkA receptor inhibitory action.

Abstract: Provided is an agent for treating or preventing urinary frequency, urinary urgency and urinary, incontinence which are associated with overactive bladder, a lower urinary tract disease such as interstitial cystitis and chronic prostatitis accompanied by lower urinary tract pain, and various diseases accompanied by pain. A novel azolecarboxamide derivative in which an azole ring such as thioazole or oxazole is bonded to a benzene ring, pyridine ring or pyrimidine ring through carboxamide was confirmed to have a potent trkA receptor-inhibitory activity and found to be an agent for treating or preventing lower urinary tract disease and various diseases accompanied by pain, which is excellent in efficacy and safety, and thus the present invention was accomplished.

Abstract: [Problem] Provided is a compound which has a PDE9-inhibiting action and is useful as an active ingredient for an agent for treating and/or preventing storage dysfunction, voiding dysfunction, and bladder/urethral diseases, and the like. [Means for Solution] The present inventors have investigated a compound which has a PDE9-inhibiting action and is useful as an active ingredient for an agent for treating and/or preventing storage dysfunction, voiding dysfunction, and bladder/urethral diseases, and the like, and thus, have found that an imidazoquinoxaline compound or a triazoloquinoxaline compound has a PDE9-inhibiting action, thereby completing the present invention. The imidazoquinoxaline compound or the triazoloquinoxaline compound of the present invention has a PDE9-inhibiting action and can be used as an agent for preventing and/or treating storage dysfunction, voiding dysfunction, and bladder/urethral diseases, and the like.

The sulfonamide compound of the present invention has a potent EP1 receptor antagonistic action and can be used as an agent for preventing and/or treating a lower urinary tract symptom or the like.

Abstract: A compound that can be used as an agent for treating a disease associated with an EP1 receptor, in particular a lower urinary tract symptom. It was confirmed that a sulfonamide compound having an amide structure and characterized by a chemical structure in which a carbon atom in the amide bonds to the N atom in sulfonamide through lower alkylene, or a salt thereof, has a potent EP1 receptor antagonistic activity, accomplishing the present invention. Since the sulfonamide compound of the present invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof has a potent EP1 receptor antagonistic activity, it is useful as an agent for treating a disease associated with an EP1 receptor, in particular, a lower urinary tract symptom.
