       DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART 
       [0005]    In vivo calcification is strictly regulated by the balance of activation between osteoblasts and osteoclasts, phosphorus and calcium concentrations in plasma, and parathyroid hormone or vitamin D secreted in order to maintain the homeostasis of these concentrations (Non Patent Literature 1). Ectopic calcification is found in diseases, for example, pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE), generalized arterial calcification of infancy (GACI), craniometaphyseal dysplasia (CMD), ossification of the yellow ligament (OYL), ossification of ligamentum flavum, arterial calcification due to deficiency of CD73 (ACDC), calcification of joints and arteries (CALJA), arthrosis deformans, osteoarthritis, ankylosis of the joint, idiopathic infantile arterial calcification (IIAC), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), tumoral calcinosis (TC), progressive osseous heteroplasia (POH), Keutel syndrome, vascular calcification associated with chronic renal failure (including glomerulonephritis, IgA nephropathy, hypertensive nephropathy, and diabetic nephropathy) and secondary parathyroid hyperplasia, metastatic calcification, calciphylaxis, calcific tendinitis of the longus colli muscle, fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP), calcific aortic stenosis, pericarditis calculosa, atherosclerotic vascular calcification, calcific uremic arteriopathy (CUA), Kawasaki disease, calcification due to obesity and aging, tibial arterial calcification, bone metastasis, prosthetic calcification, Paget&#39;s disease, idiopathic basal ganglia calcification (IBGC), heterotopic ossification (HO), calcific aortic valve disease (aortic valve stenosis), calcific tendinitis, ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) ossification of the anterior longitudinal ligament (OALL), diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH), meniscal calcification, and peritoneal calcification. In these pathological conditions, calcification in tissues (blood vessels, soft tissues, etc.) that are usually not calcified is caused by the failure of the regulatory mechanism mentioned above, and is known to bring about significantly reduced quality of life (QOL) due to the limitation of activity and an increased cardiovascular risk (Non Patent Literatures 2 and 3). No existing therapeutic agent is effective for ectopic calcification. Thus, there are very high unmet medical needs for this disease (Non Patent Literature 4). 
         [0006]    TNAP, one of alkaline phosphatases, includes membrane-bound and secretory forms. TNAP is expressed in the bone, the liver, and the kidney and highly expressed particularly in the matrix vesicles of chondrocytes and osteoblasts. This enzyme is known to play an important role in in vivo calcification via the degradation of pyrophosphate, which is an endogenous anti-calcification factor (Non Patent Literature 5). A large number of reports show the increased expression level or elevated activity of TNAP at lesion sites of ectopic calcification, and ectopic calcification also occurs in mice which overexpress human TNAP, suggesting the importance of TNAP for ectopic calcification (Non Patent Literatures 6 and 7). Thus, the inhibition of TNAP is considered to elevate pyrophosphate concentrations in blood and in tissues and suppress ectopic calcification (Non Patent Literature 8). 
         [0007]    Some compounds are known to have TNAP inhibitory activity (see e.g., Patent Literatures 1 and 2 and, Non Patent Literatures 9 to 12). Among them, compounds partially having a common skeleton are disclosed. Nonetheless, a compound having a 7-membered ring condensed with a pyridine ring has not yet been disclosed.

     Test Example 1 
     Inhibitory Test of TNAP Activity 
       [0680]    COS1 cells (DS Pharma Biomedical Co., Ltd.) were transfected with human TNAP (OriGene Technologies, Inc.) using Lipofectamine LTX &amp; Plus reagent (Invitrogen Corp.). On the next day, the medium was replaced with a fresh medium, and the cells were cultured in an incubator for 3 days. After 3 days, the culture supernatant was collected and concentrated by centrifugation at 5000 G for 30 minutes using Amicon 14, 10 4  cut (Merck Millipore). The concentrated culture supernatant was dialyzed against 5 L of 50 mM Tris/200 mM NaCl/1 mM MgCl 2 /20 μM ZnCl 2  twice and used as an enzyme source (enzyme solution). The substrate pNPP (ProteoChem Inc.) was adjusted to 3.1 mM with Milli-Q water, and a solution of each test compound dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO; Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) by 6 serial dilutions at a 5-fold common ratio from 100 μM, or DMSO was added thereto at a final concentration of 1% by volume. The enzyme solution adjusted to 2 μg/mL with an assay buffer (200 mM Tris/2 mM MgCl 2 /0.04 mM ZnCl 2 /0.01% Tween 20) was added in the same amount of the substrate solution and incubated at room temperature for 60 minutes. Then, the absorbance (ABS: 405 nm) was measured using a microplate reader (model plus 384, Molecular Devices, LLC), and the concentration of produced p-nitrophenol was calculated. The inhibition of human TNAP activity by the test compound was evaluated on the basis of the concentration IC 50  at which each test compound suppressed 50% of p-nitrophenol production.

       Test Example 2 
     Specific Inhibitory Test of TNAP Activity 
       [0683]    COS1 cells (DS Pharma Biomedical Co., Ltd.) were transfected with human IAP (small-intestinal alkaline phosphatase, purchased from OriGene Technologies, Inc.) or human PLAP (placental alkaline phosphatase, purchased from OriGene Technologies, Inc.) using Lipofectamine LTX &amp; Plus reagent (Invitrogen Corp.). On the next day, the medium was replaced with a fresh medium, and the cells were cultured in an incubator for 3 days. After 3 days, the culture supernatant was collected and concentrated by centrifugation at 5000 G for 30 minutes using Amicon 14, 10 4  cut (Merck Millipore). The concentrated culture supernatant was dialyzed against 5 L of 50 mM Tris/200 mM NaCl/1 mM MgCl 2 /20 μM ZnCl 2  twice and used as an enzyme source (enzyme solution). The substrate pNPP (ProteoChem Inc.) was adjusted to 3.1 mM with Milli-Q water, and a solution of each test compound dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO; Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) by 6 serial dilutions at a 5-fold common ratio from 100 μM, or DMSO was added thereto at a final concentration of 1% by volume. The enzyme solution of human IAP or human PLAP adjusted to 2 μg/mL with an assay buffer (200 mM Tris/2 mM MgCl 2 /0.04 mM ZnCl 2 /0.01% Tween 20) was added in the same amount of the substrate solution and incubated at room temperature for 60 minutes. Then, the absorbance (ABS: 405 nm) was measured using a microplate reader (model plus 384, Molecular Devices, LLC), and the concentration of produced p-nitrophenol was calculated. The inhibition of human IAP or PLAP activity by the test compound was evaluated on the basis of the concentration IC 50  at which each test compound suppressed 50% of p-nitrophenol production.

       Test Example 3 
     Inhibitory Test of Plasma TNAP Activity in B6 Mouse (Charles River Laboratories Japan, Inc.) 
       [0685]    After blood sampling from the tail vein using a heparin-treated hematocrit capillary tube (EM Meister Hematocrit Capillary Tube, AS ONE Corp.) (as the sample before compound administration), each test compound suspended in a 0.5% methylcellulose solution (powder purchased from Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd. was adjusted to 0.5% with Otsuka distilled water) was administered orally to the mouse. 1, 2, 4, 6, and 24 hours after the administration, blood was collected from the tail vein using a heparin-treated hematocrit capillary tube to obtain a plasma sample. The plasma sample was added to an assay buffer (1 M Tris, 1 M MgCl 2 , 20 mM ZnCl 2 , and water, pH 7.5), and the mixture was left standing for 5 minutes. Then, the absorbance at 405 nm was measured and used as a blank. The substrate pNPP was added to the plasma sample and incubated at room temperature for 180 minutes. Then, the absorbance (ABS: 405 nm) was measured using a microplate reader (model plus 384, Molecular Devices, LLC), and the concentration of produced p-nitrophenol was calculated. The blank was subtracted from all measurement values to calculate TNAP activity at each time point with the TNAP activity of the sample before compound administration defined as 100%. The pharmaceutical effect of the test compound was evaluated by the average inhibition of plasma ALP (80-90% containing TNAP) activity for 6 hours from 0 hour to 6 hours after the administration of the test compound. It was calculated according to the following expression: 100−((plasma ALP activity at 0 hr+plasma ALP activity at 1 hr)*½+(plasma ALP activity at 1 hr+plasma ALP activity at 2 hr)*½+(plasma ALP activity at 2 hr+plasma ALP activity at 4 hr)* 2/2+(plasma ALP activity at 4 hr+plasma ALP activity at 6 hr)* 2/2)/6.

       Test Example 6 
     Pharmacokinetic Test 
       [0692]    The pharmacokinetic test can be conducted according to a method well-known in the field of pharmacodynamics. 
         [0693]    Each test compound was suspended in a 0.5% aqueous methylcellulose solution. The obtained suspension was orally administered at a dose in an appropriate range (e.g., 0.01 mg/kg to 10 mg/kg) to an animal (e.g., a mouse, a rat, a dog, or a cynomolgus monkey) generally used in the pharmacokinetic test. Also, the test compound was dissolved in saline. The obtained solution was intravenously (e.g., through the tail vein, the cephalic vein, or the saphenous vein) administered at a dose in an appropriate range (e.g., 0.1 mg/kg to 10 mg/kg) to an animal (e.g., a mouse, a rat, a dog, or a cynomolgus monkey) generally used in the pharmacokinetic test. After given times (e.g., 0.08, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 24 hours) from the administration, blood was collected from an appropriate blood collection site (e.g., the jugular vein, the cephalic vein, or the saphenous vein). The obtained blood was centrifuged to prepare a plasma sample. The concentration of the test compound contained in the plasma sample was measured by quantitative analysis using a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometer (LC-MS/MS). 
         [0694]    The pharmacokinetics of the test compound were evaluated on the basis of maximum plasma concentration (Cmax), area under the plasma drug concentration-time curve (AUC), total clearance (CL), and bioavailability and analyzed using software (Phoenix, etc.). Cmax represents the maximum plasma concentration of the orally administered test compound. AUC was calculated according to the trapezium rule from the plasma concentrations of the test compound from the time when the test compound was administered up to the final time when the test compound was quantifiable. The bioavailability was calculated according to the following expression: 
         [0000]      [(AUC after oral administration/Dose of the oral administration)/(AUC after intravenous administration/Dose of the intravenous administration)]. 
         [0695]    The compound of the present invention exhibits excellent pharmacokinetics (Cmax, AUC, CL, or bioavailability) and is useful as a pharmaceutical (particularly, a pharmaceutical for the treatment or prevention of ectopic calcification).
