The present disclosure provides a compound represented by Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt which are effective as a
sodium channel blocker and a method of using the compound: (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 are independently selected from
hydrogen,
halogen, (C1-C4)
alkyl, (C1-C4)alkoxy, (C3-C6)cycloalkyl and hetero(C2-C4)cycloalkyl which contains one or more heteroatoms selected from N, O, and S; wherein each (C1-C4)
alkyl, (C1-C4)alkoxy and (C3-C6)cycloalkyl are unsubstituted or substituted with one or more substituents selected from
halogen and hydroxyl; A and B are each selected from S and CR6, wherein A and B are not identical, and R6 is selected from
hydrogen,
halogen and (C1-C4)
alkyl; and X and Y are independently selected from
hydrogen and (C2-C6)alkyl, or taken together with the
carbon atom to which they are attached to form (C3-C6)cycloalkyl; wherein (C2-C6)alkyl is unsubstituted or substituted with (C3-C6)cycloalkyl.
