  • Publication number: 20050148634
    Abstract: Provided are 1-N-aminobenzimidazole derivatives represented by the following formula (I): wherein R1 and R2 each represents a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group or the like, R3, R5 and R6 each represents an alkyl group, alkoxy group, hydrogen atom or the like, R4 represents a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group or the like, A represents a benzene ring or the like, B represents a hydrogen atom or the like, an n stands for an integer of from 0 to 2, or salts thereof; and medicines containing them. The compounds (I) according to the present invention do not bring about much individual differences in therapeutic effects despite the existence of individual differences in the CYP2C19 activity. At the same dose, they can hence bring about appropriate therapeutic effects for all patients. In addition, they are low in the risk of induction of an interaction or a cancer caused by induction of the CYP1A family.

  • Patent number: 6884810
    Abstract: A benzimidazole derivative of formula (1): (wherein R represents a hydrogen atom or a methoxy group, and n is 0 or 1) or a salt thereof; and a medicament containing the same. The compounds of the present invention, due to minimized difference in therapeutic effect between subjects, which difference would otherwise be derived from different CYP2C19 activity from subject to subject, ensure that all patients can enjoy proper therapeutic effects at the same dose of the drug. Also, the compounds of the invention have low risk of drug interaction caused by induction of CYP1A family member enzymes, as well as low risk of development of cancer, and thus is useful as a remedy for peptic ulcer, reliably providing therapeutic effects with safety.
