ABSTRACT:
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to novel prostaglandin derivatives, pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof and hydrates thereof.
BACKGROUND ART
Since prostaglandin (PG) exhibits various important physiological actions in a trace amount, the biological activities of a great number of natural PGs and synthesized PG derivatives have been investigated with the intention of a practical use as medicines and have been reported in many literatures, for example, Japanese Patent Kokai No. 52-100446 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,131,738. Natural PGs and PG derivatives have biological actions such as a vasodilating action, a prophlogistic action, an inhibitory action of blood platelet aggregation, a uterine muscle contraction action, an intestine contraction action or a lowering action of intraocular pressure, and are useful for treatment or prevention of myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, arteriosclerosis, hypertension or duodenal ulcer, and further useful for labor induction, artificial termination of pregnancy, etc.
On the other hand, percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) has low invasiveness to the patient as a therapeutic modality of ischemic heart diseases and has an excellent initial treatment effect, therefore, it is a plasty which recently has rapidly been developed. However, there has been an unsolved drawback of causing restenosis of coronary artery at a frequency of 30-40% within a few months after PTCA. The compounds which can control not only the migration from intima to mesothelium of vascular smooth muscle cells deeply associating with the onset of restenosis but also their growth in the mesothelium are greatly expected as drugs for prevention of the restenosis caused after PTCA. However, no clinically available drugs have been found.
An object of the present invention is to provide novel PG derivatives which have an excellent action in inhibiting the growth of vascular smooth muscle and are greatly expected as drugs for prevention or treatment of the restenosis after PTCA.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
As a result of the continued extensive studies, the present inventors have found that novel prostaglandin derivatives having an alkylthio group, an arylthio group or the like at the 11-position represented by the following Formula (I) achieve the above-objects, and thereby the present invention has been accomplished.
