Abstract:
A pyrrolesulfonamide derivative having the following formula (I): 1 wherein the ring P represented by 2 is a pyrrole ring having the following structure: 3 wherein R represents alkyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkyl-alkyl or aralkyl; the dashed line indicates the presence or absence of a bond; and, when the bond is present, Z2 is not present and Z1 represents H but, when the bond is absent, Z1 represents H and Z2 represents OH or Z1 and Z2 are combined together to represent O or a group NOR1, in which R1 represents H, or alkyl, aralkyl or aryl; l stands for 0 or 1; A represents alkylene, alkenylene or alkynylene; and Y represents a group 4 in which W represents CH, Cnull or N; m stands for 0 or 1 when W is CH or N, or m stands for 1 when W is Cnull; B represents a specific divalent group; E1 and E2 each independently represents H or lower alkyl; and D represents an aromatic hydrocarbon group or heterocyclic group. The compound (I) has strong serotonin-2 receptor antagonistic action and low toxicity and less side effects, and is useful as a therapeutic for circulatory diseases such as ischemic heart diseases, cerebrovascular disturbances and peripheral circulatory disturbances.
