Abstract: Compounds useful as GnRH receptor antagonists are provided. The present inventors have further examined propane-1,3-dione derivatives and confirmed as a result that a propane-1,3-dione having 2-(1,3-dihydro-2H-benzimidazol-2-ylidene), or a compound which has benzene or thiophene ring substituted with a group derived from 1-hydroxymethyl, shows excellent availability, in addition to its excellent GnRH receptor antagonism, thereby accomplishing the invention. Since the compound of the invention shows excellent availability, in addition to its strong GnRH receptor antagonism, it can be expected that it exerts superior drug effect in the living body, and it is useful for the treatment of sex hormone dependent diseases such as prostate cancer, breast cancer, endometriosis, uterine leiomyoma, benign prostatic hypertrophy and the like.

Abstract: It is intended to provide a compound useful as a GnRH receptor antagonist. The inventors further investigated propane-1,3-dione derivatives. As a result, they confirmed that a compound having a benzene ring or a thiophene ring substituted with a group represented by —SO2—R3 in a propane-1,3-dione derivative having 2-(1,3-dihydro-2H-benzimidazol-2-ylidene) has an excellent GnRH receptor antagonistic effect and accomplished the present invention. Because the compound of the present invention has a potent GnRH receptor antagonistic effect, it is useful for the treatment of sex hormone-dependent diseases, particularly GnRH-related diseases. Further, because the compound of the present invention has an excellent metabolic stability in human and few drug interactions, therefore it has preferable characteristics as a pharmaceutical used for the above-mentioned diseases.
