Silver halide photographic materials

A silver halide photographic material comprising on a support, at least one photosensitive silver halide emulsion layer, which contains a coupler represented by formula (I) which releases a plurality of development inhibitors, each development inhibitor being represented by PUG, which are attached, either directly or through a timing group L.sub.1, to different atoms of a timing group L.sub.2 :

• ##STR40## wherein A represents a coupler residual group, the timing group L.sub.1 represents a divalent timing group, the timing group L.sub.2 has a valence of 3 or more, and PUG represents one of formulae (INH-1) to (INH-8) and (INH-10) to (INH-13), l and n each represents 0, 1 or 2, m represents 1 or 2, and s represents a number obtained by subtracting 1 from the valence of L.sub.2, being an integer of at least 2:
• ##STR41## wherein R.sub.21 represents a hydrogen atom or a substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbyl group, * indicates the position at which the group represented by L.sub.1 and L.sub.2 of the compound represented by general formula (I) is bonded, and ** indicated a position at which a substituent group is bonded.
