Abstract
A novel cyclopropenone derivative (I) which possesses a potent inhibitory activity against thiol protease such as papain, cathepsin B, cathepsin H, cathepsin L, calpain or the like with excellent properties regarding oral absorbance, tissue transference and cell membrane permeability, and are clinically useful in the treatment of various diseases such as muscular dystrophy, amyotrophy. Also provided are a process for producing the compound (I) and a pharmaceutical composition containing the same.
