PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a novel furanone derivatives having an inhibition effect on a serine threonine protein kinase Cdc 7.SOLUTION: Furanone derivatives of formula (I) and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts are provided. In the formula, A is -COOR1 or H; R1 is H or a substituted/unsubstituted hydrocarbon group or a heterocycle; R2 and R3 are identical or different and H, a substituted/unsubstituted hydrocarbon group, a phenyl group, a heterocycle, a condensed heterocyclic ring or an amino group; R2 and R3, together with a nitrogen atom to which they are bonded, may form a heterocycle or a condensed heterocyclic ring; and R4 is H or a halogen atom.【課題】セリンスレオニンプロテインキナーゼの一種Cdc7阻害作用を有する新規なフラノン誘導体の提供。【解決手段】式(I)で表されるフラノン誘導体又はその薬学的に許容される塩。(Aは-COOR1若しくはH;R1はH、置換/未置換の炭化水素基、複素環;R2及びR3は同一又は異なって、H、置換/未置換の炭化水素基、フェニル基、複素環、複素環式縮合環又はアミノ基或いは、R2及びR3は、これらが結合している窒素原子と共に、複素環、縮合複素環を形成してもよい;R4はH又はハロゲン原子)【選択図】なし
