technical field
[0001] The present application relates to novel compounds and medicaments containing the compounds as active ingredients, more particularly, the present application relates to therapeutic agents for inflammatory diseases. Background technique
[0002] Mast cells, known as conductive cells in allergic inflammation, can be activated by various stimuli including antigens and produce various inflammatory mediators.
[0003] Prostaglandin D 2 (PGD 2 ) is an important prostaglandin compound produced by activated mast cells. Some reports indicate that antigen challenge is in the airways of asthmatic patients (New England Journal of Medicine, 1986, 315(13), pp.800-804), in the nasal mucosa of allergic rhinitis patients or in the skin of allergic dermatitis patients (Journal of Immunology, 1991, 146 (2), pp.671-676) induce a large amount of PGD 2 .
[0004] Fujitani et al. reported that overexpression of PGD synthase in transgenic mice (where PGD 2 Increased pro...
