Abstract: The compound of the present invention is a novel compound which has a specific heterocycle skeleton, particularly a pyrazolonaphthyridine or pyrazoloquinoline skeleton having an organic group (e.g., a carbocycle and a heterocycle) bonding through an alkylene group at 3-position and a carbocycle bonding at 5-position and has a phosphodiesterase IV inhibitory activity. At least one of the ring (the carbocycle or the heterocycle) bonding at 3-position of the pyrazolonaphthyridine skeleton and the carbocycle bonding at 5-position may have a halogenated alkyl group and/or a halogenated alkoxy group as a substituent. Such a compound or a salt thereof is useful as a phosphodiesterase IV inhibitor and the like. According to the present invention, a novel compound having a high phosphodiesterase IV inhibitory effect can be provided.

Abstract: The target is to provide PDE IV inhibitors which have a highly potent anti-asthmatic and/or COPD-prophylactic/therapeutic profile with unexpectedly excellent safety.

Abstract: At least one hyperlipidemic agent selected from the group consisting of a fibrate compound (e.g., fenofibrate, bezafibrate, or a salt thereof) and an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (e.g., a statin compound, for example, pravastatin, atorvastatin, or salts thereof) is, as active ingredients, combined with an ?-glucosidase inhibitor (e.g., voglibose, and acarbose) in the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention. The proportion of the ?-glucosidase inhibitor may be about 0.001 to 50 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of the hyperlipidemic agent. The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition which is excellent in prophylactic and/or therapeutic effect on metabolic syndrome, hyperlipemia, diabetes, diabetes complications, etc, and has few side effects.

Abstract: The purpose is to provide selective PDE IV inhibitors which have a potent anti-asthmatic profile with excellent safety. A compound of the formula (1): wherein A is methylene, lower alkylmethylene, carbonyl, etc., Y is a 5- or 6-membered heteroaryl group containing one or two heteroatoms selected from nitrogen, sulfur and oxygen, Z is i) a fused ring in which any of 5- or 6-membered heteroaryl groups is fused to a benzene ring, or ii) a phenyl group which may be unsubstituted or optionally substituted with one or more members selected from the group consisting of nitro, amino, an amino nitrogen-containing group, etc., provided that when A is methylene, Y is a 5- or 6-membered heteroaryl group selected from the group consisting of pyrrolyl, pyridyl, etc.
