  • Patent number: 9266840
    Abstract: To provide a compound useful as an active ingredient of a pharmaceutical composition for treating 11?-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1-related diseases such as dementia, schizophrenia, depression, pain (particularly, neuropathic pain or fibromyalgia), diabetes (particularly, type II diabetes mellitus), insulin resistance and the like. [Means for Solution] A bicyclic heterocyclic compound (the bicyclic heterocycle is formed when a cyclohexane ring is fused with a 5- to 6-membered monocyclic heterocycle that has only a nitrogen atom as a hetero atom) substituted with an acylamino group such as a (hetero)aroylamino group or the like or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof was found to have an excellent selective inhibitory action against 11?-HSD1.

  • Patent number: 8962612
    Abstract: To provide an excellent agent for preventing or treating dementia and schizophrenia based on serotonin 5-HT5A receptor regulating action, it was found that a tetrahydroisoquinoline derivative characterized by a structure in which an acylguanidino group binds to a N atom of a tetrahydroisoquinoline ring or the like, and a cyclic group binds to an unsaturated ring has a potent 5-HT5A receptor regulating action and an excellent pharmacological action based on the regulating action and also discovered that the tetrahydroisoquinoline derivative is useful as an agent for treating or preventing dementia, schizophrenia, and the like, whereby the present invention has been completed.
