摘要 |
<p>The present invention relates to novel acetamide derivatives having a substituted heterocyclic group and consecutive dicarbonyl structures, for example 1-pyrimidinylacetamide compounds, 1-pyrazinylacetamide compounds, 1-triazinylacetamide compounds etc., and these compounds have inhibitory activity on chymotrypsin type proteases and are useful as inhibitors for said enzymes, particularly as chymase inhibitors. The novel acetamide derivatives of the present invention are shown in formula (I) below: <CHEM> wherein R<0> is substituted or unsubstituted phenyl; R<1> is aryl, heteroaryl or aliphatic lower alkyl which may be substituted or unsubstituted; R<2> is substituted or unsustituted alkyl, arylalkyl, or heteroarylalkyl; R<3> is hydrogen; acyl group; sulfonyl group; isocyanate group; thiourea; or hydrogen, a lower alkyl or a substituted lower alkyl; aryl (1-7C) alkyl, heteroaryl (1-7C) alkyl, aryl and heteroaryl; X and Y independently represent a nitrogen atom or a carbon atom; and Z is a polymethylene group wherein a hydrogen atom in the polymethylene may be replaced.</p> |
