Abstract
The present invention provides a selective suppressor of the IgE production comprising a compound which suppresses the IgE production in a process from a differentiation of a mature B cell into an antibody-producing cell to the production of an antibody and which does not suppress or weakly suppresses the production of IgG, IgM and/or IgA which are produced at the same time, a compound of the formula (I): wherein R1–R13 are hydrogen, halogen, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy or the like, X is —O—, —CH2—, —NR14— or —S(O)p- and Y is lower alkyl, lower alkenyl or the like, a process for producing the same and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the same.
Claims1
An anti-allergic agent comprising the compound of the formula (I″)
- wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, R8, R9, R10, R11, R12 and R13 are each independently hydrogen, hydroxy, halogen, carboxy, optionally substituted lower alkyl optionally substituted, lower alkoxy, optionally substituted lower alkenyl, optionally substituted lower alkenyloxy, optionally substituted lower alkylthio, optionally substituted lower alkoxycarbonyl, optionally substituted acyloxy, optionally substituted lower alkylsulfonyl, optionally substituted lower alkylsulfonyloxy, optionally substituted lower alkylsulfinyl, nitro, cyano, formyl, optionally substituted amino, optionally substituted carbamoyl, optionally substituted sulfamoyl or optionally substituted heterocyclyl,
- X is —O—, —CH2—, —NR14— wherein R14 is hydrogen, optionally substituted lower alkyl, optionally substituted lower alkenyl or acetyl, or —S(O)p- wherein p is an integer of 0 to 2,
- Y is optionally substituted lower alkyl, optionally substituted lower alkenyl, optionally substituted lower alkynyl, optionally substituted acyl, optionally substituted cycloalkyl, optionally substituted cycloalkenyl, optionally substituted aryl or optionally substituted heterocyclyl, and Y may optionally be substituted lower alkoxy when X is —CH2— and may optionally be substituted lower alkoxycarbonyl, optionally substituted lower alkylsulfonyl or optionally substituted arylsulfonyl when X is —O— or —NR14—,
- R1 and R4, R1 and R2, R2 and R3, R4 and R5, R6 and R7, R8 and R9, R10 and R11, R12 and R13, R11 and —X—Y, or R13 and —X—Y taken together may form a 5- or 6-membered ring which may contain one or more of O, S or NR15 wherein R15 is hydrogen, optionally substituted lower alkyl, optionally substituted lower alkenyl or optionally substituted arylsulfonyl and which may optionally be substituted,
- excluding a compound of the formula (I′):
- wherein R1′ is hydrogen or hydroxy and R13′ is hydroxy or methoxy;
- or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or hydrate thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.
