Patent ID: RE39754

Claim:
A benzamide compound represented by formula (1): wherein A is an optionally substituted phenyl group or an optionally substituted heterocyclic group wherein the substituent(s) for the phenyl group or the heterocyclic group is (are) 1 to 4 substituents selected from the group consisting of a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group, an amino group, a nitro group, a cyano group, an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbons, an alkoxy group having 1 to 4 carbons, an aminoalkyl group having 1 to 4 carbons, an alkylamino group having 1 to 4 carbons, an acyl group having 1 to 4 carbons, an acylamino group having 1 to 4 carbons, an alkylthio group having 1 to 4 carbons, a perfluoroalkyl group having 1 to 4 carbons, a perfluoroalkyloxy group having 1 to 4 carbons, a carboxyl group, an alkoxycarbonyl group having 1 to 4 carbons, a phenyl group and a heterocyclic group; X is a bond or a moiety having a structure selected from those illustrated in formula (2): wherein e is an integer of 1 to 4; g and m are independently an integer of 0 to 4; R 4 is a hydrogen atom or an optionally substituted alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbons, or the acyl group represented by formula (3) wherein R 6 is an optionally substituted alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbons, a perfluoroalkyl group having 1 to 4 carbons, a phenyl group or a heterocyclic group; R 5 is a hydrogen atom or an optionally substituted alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbons; n is an integer of 0-4 , provided that when X is a bond, n is not zero ; Q is a moiety having a structure selected from those illustrated in formula (4) wherein R 7 and R 8 are independently a hydrogen atom or an optionally substituted alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbons; R 1 and R 2 are independently a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group, an amino group, an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbons, an alkoxy group having 1 to 4 carbons, an aminoalkyl group having 1 to 4 carbons, an alkylamino group having 1 to 4 carbons, an acyl group having 1 to 4 carbons, an acylamino group having 1 to 4 carbons, an alkylthio group having 1 to 4 carbons, a perfluoroalkyl group having 1 to 4 carbons, a perfluoroalkyloxy group having 1 to 4 carbons, a carboxyl group or an alkoxycarbonyl group having 1 to 4 carbons; R 3 is a hydroxyl or an amino group ; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
