A compound represented by formula (I)
##STR00001## wherein the symbols in the formula are the same meanings
as those in specification, salts thereof, solvates thereof, or prodrugs
thereof binds to DP receptor and shows antagonistic activity for DP
receptor. Thus, it is useful for prevention and/or treatment of diseases
such as allergic disease (e.g., allergic rhinitis, allergic
conjunctivitis, atopic dermatitis, bronchial asthma and food allergy),
systemic mastocytosis, disorders accompanied by systemic mast cell
activation, anaphylaxis shock, bronchoconstriction, urticaria, eczema,
diseases accompanied by itch (e.g., atopic dermatitis and urticaria),
diseases (e.g., cataract, retinal detachment, inflammation, infection and
sleeping disorders) which is generated secondarily as a result of
behavior accompanied by itch (e.g., scratching and beating),
inflammation, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, ischemic
reperfusion injury, cerebrovascular accident, chronic rheumatoid
arthritis, pleurisy, ulcerative colitis, etc. Since it specifically binds
to DP receptor and binds weakly to other prostaglandins receptors, they
can be pharmaceuticals having little side effect.
