Abstract

The present invention relates to a novel fused ring compound having urea structure that exhibits excellent NAMPT activating effect, and a method using the same for treating/preventing metabolic disorder, cardiovascular and kidney disease, mitochondrial disease, neurodegenerative disease, ocular disease, and muscle wasting disorder. The present invention provides a compound represented by following formula (I) or a pharmacologically acceptable salt: wherein A, B, R 1 , R 2 and R 3 represent the same meanings as in the claims.

Claims (32)

1. A compound of formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof:

wherein:

R 1 is a hydrogen atom or a halogen atom;

R 2 is a hydrogen atom; a phenyl group or a heteroaryl group optionally substituted with one or more Y; or a C 1 -C 6 alkyl group optionally substituted with a C 3 -C 6 cycloalkyl group;

R 3 is a hydrogen atom; a cyano group; a phenyl group or a heteroaryl group each optionally substituted with one or more Y; a C 1 -C 4 alkylcarbonyl group or a C 1 -C 4 alkyl group, each optionally substituted with one or more Z; or —C(═O)—Z;

each Y is independently selected from a C 1 -C 4 alkyl group, a C 1 -C 4 alkoxy group, a phenyl group, a C 1 -C 3 alkylsulfonyl group, a C 1 -C 3 haloalkyl group, a halogen atom, and a C 1 -C 3 alkyl group or a C 1 -C 3 alkoxy group substituted with a C 1 -C 3 alkoxy group;

each Z is independently selected from a C 1 -C 3 alkoxy group, a dioxanyl group, an 8-oxa-3-azabicyclo [3.2.1] octyl group, a C 1 -C 4 alkoxycarbonyl group, and an amino group or a C 3 -C 6 cycloalkylamino group each optionally substituted with one or more W; and

each W is independently selected from a phenyl group, a heteroaryl group, a C 1 -C 3 alkyl group, a C 1 -C 3 alkyl group substituted with phenyl, and a C 1 -C 3 alkyl group substituted with a heteroaryl group.
