The present invention 5 relates to a diazepine compound represented by General Formula (1) or a salt thereof, wherein R, R2 , R3 , and R4 are each independently hydrogen, lower alkyl, cyclo lower alkyl or lower alkoxy lower alkyl; R ;and R may be linked to form lower alkylene; A' is lower alkylene optionally substituted with one or 10 more substituents selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl and oxo; Y and Y2 are each independently -N= or -CH=; and R is group represented by (2) wherein R6 and R are each independently hydrogen or organic group; R6 and R7 may be linked to form a ring together with the neighboring group -XA-N-XE-; XA and XS are each 15 independently a bond, lower alkylene, etc. r Yl N 4fk R 1 t 0 R R4 R-XR N-~ (2) ?h /
