Abstract: To provide a pharmaceutical composition which performs a remarkable effect with a relatively decreased dosage, and, with less side effects, a pharmaceutical composition formulated by combination of an angiotensin II-mediated compound or a salt thereof with at least one species of a compound having the activity of increasing insulin-sensitivity, a compound having the activity of improving postprandial hyperglycemia in diabetes mellitus, an indane derivative having the activity of inhibiting angiotensin converting enzyme, a pyridine derivative having the activity of inhibiting HMG-Co A reductase or salts thereof are advantageously employed.

Abstract: There is disclosed a compound of the formula (A): wherein W is C—G or C—G′ (G is optionally esterified carboxyl; and G′ is halogen); X is oxygen, optionally oxidized sulfur or —(CH2)q—, (q is 0 to 5); R is optionally substituted amino or heterocyclic group; the ring B is optionally substituted nitrogen-containing 5- to 7-membered ring; L is hydrogen, optionally substituted hydrocarbon residue, optionally substituted acyl, optionally substituted carbamoyl, optionally substituted thiocarbamoyl or optionally substituted sulfonyl provided that, when W is C—G, L is hydrogen, optionally substituted acyl, optionally substituted carbamoyl, optionally substituted alkoxycarbonyl, optionally substituted thiocarbamoyl or optionally substituted sulfonyl; n is 0 or 1; the ring A may have a substituent. A process for producing the compound (A) and a pharmaceutical composition containing the compound (A) are also disclosed.
