glucocorticoid receptor agonist, pharmaceutical composition, therapeutic agent for inflammatory disease, therapeutic agent for inflammatory eye disease, therapeutic agent for inflammatory bone joint disorder, method for treating inflammatory disease, method for treating inflammatory eye disease, and method for treating bone disorder inflammatory joint
The object aims to find a novel pharmacological activity of a novel 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoxaline derivative which contains, as a substituent, a phenyl group having a sulfonic acid ester structure introduced therein. A compound represented by general formula (1) or a salt thereof is useful as a glucocorticoid receptor agonist, particularly as a therapeutic agent for diseases against which a glucocorticoid receptor agonist (e.g., a steroid) is believed to be effective, such as inflammatory bone/joint diseases, inflammatory ophthalmic diseases (inflammatory ophthalmic diseases in the anterior or posterior segment of an eye). R 1 represents a group represented by general formula (2a), (3a), (4a) or (5a)； R 2 represents a lower alkyl group which may have a substituent, a lower cycloalkyl group which may have a substituent, or the like； R 3 represents a lower alkyl group； R 4 , R 5 , R 6 or R 7 represent a halogen atom, a lower alkyl group which may have a substituent, a hydroxy group, a lower alkoxy group which may have a substituent, or the like； and m, n, p or q represents a number of 0, 1 or 2.
