Abstract

The present disclosure provides bicyclic pyridine derivatives. A compound represented by formula I: or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein X is a oxygen atom, sulfur atom, NR, or CR′R″, n is 0 or 1, R 1 , R 2a , R 2b , R 2c , R 2d , R, R′ and R″ are each independently a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, optionally substituted C 1-6 alkyl, or an optionally substituted C 6-10 aryl, or two of R 2a , R 2b , R 2c , R 2d , R, R′, and R″, together with a carbon atom or a nitrogen atom to which they are attached, form a 3- to 6-membered saturated carbocyclic ring or saturated heterocyclic ring, and R 3a , R 3b , R 3c and R 5a and R 5b , are as defined in the description.
