Abstract: [Problem] To provide a compound useful as a MT1 and/or MT2 receptor agonist. [Solution] The present inventors have studied on MT1 and/or MT2 receptor agonists, and have confirmed that indole compounds have the activity. As a result, the present invention is accomplished. That is, a compound represented by formula (I) or a salt thereof according to the present invention has a MT1 and/or MT2 receptor agonistic activity and has a low ability of migrating into central nervous system. Therefore, the compound or a salt thereof can be used as a peripheral MT1 and/or MT2 receptor agonist, and therefore can be used as a therapeutic and/or prophylactic agent for urinary incontinence, particularly stress urinary incontinence and mixed urinary incontinence.

Abstract: Provided is a compound that is an NMDA receptor antagonist having a broader safety margin, and is useful as an agent for treating or preventing Alzheimer's disease, cerebrovascular dementia, Parkinson's disease, ischemic apoplexy, or pain. A novel compound or a salt thereof, which is characterized in that it has an amino group and R1 (lower alkyl, cycloalkyl, -lower alkylene-aryl, aryl which may be substituted, and the like) on carbon atoms of indane, cyclopenta[b]thiophene, cyclopenta[b]furan, cyclopenta[b]pyridine, or cyclopenta[c]pyridine ring, or 2,3 -dihydro-1-benzofuran, 2,3-dihydro-1-benzothiophene, indoline ring, or the like, and has R2 and R3 (the same or different, each lower alkyl or aryl) on carbon atoms beside them, and an NMDA receptor antagonist comprising the same as an active component.

Abstract: To provide a compound usable for treatment of diseases associated with fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), especially for treatment of urinary frequency and urinary incontinence, overactive bladder and/or pain. We have found that a novel pyridyl non-aromatic nitrogen-containing heterocyclic-1-carboxylate derivative and its pharmaceutically acceptable salt has a potent FAAH-inhibitory activity. Further, the pyridyl non-aromatic nitrogen-containing heterocyclic-1-carboxylate derivative of the present invention has an excellent effect for increasing an effective bladder capacity, an excellent effect for relieving urinary frequency and an excellent anti-allodynia effect, and is therefore usable for treatment of urinary frequency and urinary incontinence, overactive bladder and/or pain.
