Claims
- 1. Imidazopyridine compounds and salts thereof represented by the formula ##STR29## wherein any one of Z and Y is a group of the formula --CH.dbd. and the other one is a nitrogen atom --N.dbd. R.sup.1b and R.sup.2b are the same or different from each other, and are each a hydrogen atom, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxy-carbonyl group, a halogen atom, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl group, an amino group or a hydroxy group; R.sup.3b, R.sup.4b and R.sup.5b are the same or different from each other, and are each a hydrogen atom, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxy group or C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl group; A is C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkylene group; l is 0 to 1; provided that when Y is a group of the formula --CH.dbd., Z is a nitrogen atom --N.dbd., and l is 0, then R.sup.3b, R.sup.4b and R.sup.5b should not all be hydrogen atoms.
- 2. The imidazopyridine compounds according to claim 1, wherein l is 0.
- 3. The imidazopyridine compounds according to claim 1, wherein l is 1.
- 4. The imidazopyridine compounds according to claim 3, wherein Z is a nitrogen atom --N.dbd. and Y is a group of the formula --CH.dbd..
- 5. The imidazopyridine compounds according to claim 3, wherein Z is a group of the formula --CH.dbd. and Y is a nitrogen atom --N.dbd..
- 6. The imidazopyridine compounds according to claim 4 or 5, wherein R.sup.1b and R.sup.2b are the same or different from each other, and are each a hydrogen atom, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl group or a halogen atom.
- 7. The imidazopyridine compounds according to claim 4 or 5, wherein R.sup.1b and R.sup.2b are the same or different from each other, and are each C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxycarbonyl group, an amino group or a hydroxy group.
- 8. The imidazopyridine compounds according to claim 6 or 7, wherein R.sup.3b, R.sup.4b and R.sup.5b are the same or different, and are each C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxy group or C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl group.
- 9. The imidazopyridine derivatives according to claim 8, wherein A is methylene group.
- 10. 5-Methyl-2-[(3,5-dimethyl-4-methoxy-2-pyridyl)methylsulfinyl]imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine.
- 11. 5-Chloro-2-[(3,5-dimethyl-4-methoxy-2-pyridyl)methylsulfinyl]imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine.
- 12. 2-[(3,5-Dimethyl-4-methoxy-2-pyridyl)methylsulfinyl]imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine.
- 13. An anti-peptic ulcer composition containing, as an active ingredient, an imidazopyridine compound of claim 1.
