Abstract: The object aims to find a novel pharmacological activity of a novel 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoxaline derivative which contains, as a substituent, a phenyl group having a sulfonic acid ester structure introduced therein. A compound represented by general formula (1) or a salt thereof is useful as a glucocorticoid receptor agonist, particularly as a therapeutic agent for diseases against which a glucocorticoid receptor agonist (e.g., a steroid) is believed to be effective, such as inflammatory bone/joint diseases, inflammatory ophthalmic diseases (inflammatory ophthalmic diseases in the anterior or posterior segment of an eye).

Abstract: A method for treating a non-ocular inflammatory disease comprising administering to a patient in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a compound represented by the following formula (1) or a salt thereof: R1 represents: R2 represents a lower alkyl group, a lower cycloalkyl group or an aralkyl group; R3 represents a lower alkyl group; R4, R5, R6 or R7 each represents a halogen atom, a lower alkyl group, a hydroxyl group, a lower alkoxy group, a cyano group or a nitro group; m, n, p or q each represents 0, 1 or 2; in the case where m, n, p or q is 2, each of R4, R5, R6 or R7 is the same or different.

Abstract: The present invention is related to glucocorticoid receptor agonists comprised of a compound represented by formula (1) which is 2,2,4-trimethyl-6-phenyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline derivative or a salt thereof and novel pharmacological effects of the glucocorticoid receptor agonists. In the formula (1), R1 represents formula (2a), (3a), (4a) or (5a); R2 represents —(CO)—R8, —(CO)O—R9, or the like; R2—O— is substituted at the 4- or -5-position of benzene ring A; R3 represents a lower alkyl group; R4, R5, R6 or R7 represents a halogen atom, a lower alkyl group which may have a substituent, or the like; m, n, p or q represents 0, 1 or the like; R8, R9 or the like represents a lower alkyl group which may have a substituent, a lower alkenyl group, or the like.
