Claim:
An N-heteroaryl-4-(haloalkyl)nicotinamide compound represented by formula (I): wherein R represents a C 1 –C 6 alkyl group which is unsubstituted or substituted with 1 to 5 halogen atoms; R 1 represents a hydrogen atom, a C 1 –C 6 alkyl group which is unsubstituted or substituted with 1 to 5 substituents selected from the following substituent group A, a C 2 –C 6 alkenyl group or an acyl group, the acyl group is an alkylcarbonyl group which is unsubstituted or substituted with a halogen atom or a lower alkoxy group; an aliphatic acyl group which is an unsaturated alkylcarbonyl group; an arylcarbonyl group which is unsubstituted or substituted with a halogen atom, a lower alkyl group, a lower alkoxy group, a nitro group, a lower alkoxycarbonyl group or an aryl group; a lower alkoxycarbonyl group which is unsubstituted or substituted with a halogen atom or a tri-lower alkylsilyl group; an alkenyloxycarbonyl group; an aralkyloxycarbonyl group which is unsubstituted or substituted with a lower alkoxy group or a nitro group; a lower alkanesulfonyl group which is unsubstituted or substituted with a halogen atom or a lower alkoxy group; or an arylsulfonyl group which is unsubstituted or substituted with a halogen atom, a lower alkyl group, a lower alkoxy group, a nitro group, a lower alkoxycarbonyl group or an aryl group; X represents a group represented by formula C—R 2 ; R 2 and R 3 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a C 1 –C 6 alkyl group which is unsubstituted or substituted with 1 to 5 substituents selected from the following substituent group A, a C 3 –C 7 cycloalkyl group, a C 2 –C 6 alkenyl group, a C 3 –C 7 cycloalkenyl group, a formyl group, a group represented by formula CH═NOR 4 (wherein R 4 is a hydrogen atom or a C 1 –C 6 alkyl group), a cyano group, a phenyl group which is unsubstituted or substituted with 1 to 5 substituents selected from the following substituent group B, a C 1 –C 6 alkoxy group which is unsubstituted or substituted with 1 to 5 substituents selected from the following substituent group A, a C 1 –C 6 alkylthio group or a phenoxy group which is unsubstituted or substituted with 1 to 5 substituents selected from the following substituent group B; substituent group A is selected from the group consisting of a halogen atom, a C 1 –C 6 alkoxy group, a C 1 –C 6 alkylthio group, a cyano group and a phenyl group; substituent group B is selected from the group consisting of a halogen atom, a C 1 –C 6 alkyl group which is unsubstituted or substituted with 1 to 5 substituents selected from the above substituent group A, a C 1 –C 6 alkoxy group which is unsubstituted or substituted with 1 to 5 substituents selected from the above substituent group A, a cyano group and a nitro group; or a salt thereof.
