The present invention relates to a xanthine oxidase inhibitor.
The hyperuricemia causes gout and renal insufficiency and further is considered to be a factor causing coronary disease. Furthermore, the hyperuricemia is suggested to closely relate to development of diseases of adult people such as hypertension. Therefore, treatment of the hyperuricemia can be effective not only for treating gout but also for preventing various diseases relating to daily nutrition and developing in the course of advancement of age.
At the present time, the hyperuricemia is treated using an inhibitor for inhibiting production of uremic acid such as allopurinol and an accelerator for uricotelism such as benzbromalone. However, the allopurinol is well known to cause side effects such as lesion, hepatopathy, and myelogenetic troubles. The allopurinol and its metabolic product (oxypurinol) are excreted from kidney. However, if the excretion of uric acid decreases, the excretion of these compounds also decreases and the their concentrations in blood increase. Therefore, the chance of causing side effects increases.
It is reported that benzbromalone also causes hepatopathy. Accordingly, it is desired to develop new pharmaceuticals so that the practitioners can select most appropriate pharmaceuticals.
Recently, the below-mentioned xanthine oxidase inhibitors having no purine nucleus such as TMX-67 (Teijin Corporation, Patent Publication 1: WO 92/09279), Y-700 (Mitsubishi Wellpharma Corporation, Patent Publication 2: WO 98/18765), KT651 (Kotobuki Corporation, Patent Publication 3: JP-A-12-1431), and FYX-051 (Fuji Pharmaceuticals Corporation, Patent Publication 4:WO 03/064410) have been reported:

The inventors further have made studies and discovered that 2-(4-phenoxy-3-cyanophenyl)thiazolo[5,4-d]-pyrimidine derivatives having the below-mentioned formula (I) have a xanthine oxidase inhibiting effect and a uric acid decrease effect. The present invention has been completed based on the discovery.
