Abstract: An excellent drug for treating or preventing cardiovascular diseases, based on cGMP production enhancing action due to soluble guanylate cyclase activating action, is provided. It was found that imidazopyridine compounds having a carbamoyl group at the 3-position and a substituent bonded at the 8-position via an oxygen atom in an imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine skeleton exhibits a cGMP production enhancing action by a potent soluble guanylate cyclase activating action, and is useful as a drug for treating or preventing various soluble guanylate cyclase-related cardiovascular diseases, thereby completing the present invention.

Abstract: [Problem] A pharmaceutical composition for treating or preventing various cardiovascular diseases, which have sGC activities based on improvement of cGMP signals, is provided. [Means for Solution] It was found that imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine compounds having a carbamoyl group at the 3-position and a particular cyclic group at the 8-position via a methyleneoxy group, or a salt thereof have sGC activation, and are useful as active ingredients of pharmaceutical compositions for treating or preventing various sGC-related cardiovascular diseases, in particular, peripheral arterial diseases, intermittent claudication, critical limb ischemia, hypertension, and pulmonary hypertension, thereby completing the present invention.
