Abstract: A 1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2-one derivative expressed by Formula 1 (wherein R1 is a halogen atom, a C1 to C4 alkyl group, etc., and R2 is a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, etc., or R2 is in the 6-position of the indol-2-one and R1 and R2 join together to form a C3 to C6 alkylene group, R3 is a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group, etc., and R4 is a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a C1 to C4 alkyl group, etc., or R4 is in the 3-position of the phenyl and R3 and R4 join together to form a methylenedioxy group, R5 is a hydrogen atom or a fluorine atom, R6 is an ethylamino group, a dimethylamino group, etc., R7 is a C1 to C4 alkoxy group, and R8 is a C1 to C4 alkoxy group), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of this derivative. This is a novel compound that has antagonistic activity against an aruginine-vasopressin V1b receptor.
