Abstract: The present invention is directed to a pyrimidine derivative of the following formula (1) or a salt of the derivative: [wherein R1 represents a lower alkyl group; each of R2 and R3 represents H, alkyl, or alkoxy; each of R4 and R5 represents H or alkyl; R6 represents alkyl, —OR7, or —NR8R9; and n is a number between 0 and 3 inclusive (wherein each of R7, R8, and R9 represents H, alkyl, aryl, aralkyl, amino, a heterocyclic ring, etc.)], as well as to a medicine containing the derivative or salt as the active ingredient. The present compounds exhibit strong binding inhibitory activity against endothelin having potent vasoconstrictive effect and cell proliferation effect. Therefore, the compounds are effective as remedies for various diseases including circulatory diseases.
