The present invention provides a compound represented by the formula: wherein R1 is a C1-4 alkyl; R2 is (1) a 5- to 7-membered nitrogen-containing heterocyclic group which may have a substituent selected from the group consisting of (1′) a halogen, (2′) a hydroxy group, (3′) a C1-4 alkyl and (4′) a C1-4 alkoxy, (2) a phenyl which may have a substituent selected from the group consisting of (1′) a halogen, (2′) a C1-4 alkoxy-C1-4 alkyl, (3′) a mono-C1-4 alkyl-carbamoyl-C1-4 alkyl, (4′) a C1-4 alkoxy and (5′) a mono-C1-4 alkylcarbamoyl-C1-4 alkoxy, or the like; R3 is a C1-4 alkyl; R4 is a C1-4 alkoxy, or the like; n is an integer of 1 to 4; or a salt thereof, as a thienopyrimidine compound having gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonistic activity.
A method for antagonizing gonadotropin-releasing hormone, which comprises administering an effective amount of the compound represented by formula (I):
A method for preventing and/or treating diseases selected from the group consisting of sex-hormone dependent cancers, bone metastasis of the sex hormone-dependent cancers, prostatic hypertrophy, hysteromyoma, endometriosis, metrofibroma, precocious puberty, amenorrhea, premenstrual syndrome, dysmenorrhea, multilocular ovary syndrome, polycystic ovary syndrome, acne, alopecia, Alzheimer's disease, infertility, irritable bowel syndrome and LH-RH sensitive benign or malignant tumor which is independent of the hormone;
A method for preventing and/or treating diseases depending on male or female hormone, diseases due to excess of these hormones, by suppressing gonadotropin secretion with its gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor-antagonizing action to control plasma sex hormone concentrations, which comprises administering an effective amount of the compound represented by formula (I):
A method for preventing and/or treating diseases depending on sex hormone, LH-RH sensitive benign or malignant tumor which is independent of the hormone or irritable bowel syndrome;
