A describes an acetylcholinesterase mulation of urine (urinary storage) through excretion (uri inhibitor, an agent for preventing and/or treating lower nary voiding), and they are classified into urinary storage urinary tract symptoms (especially voiding difficulty), and it symptoms (urinary incontinence, urinary frequency, etc.), reports that a combined use of an O. receptor antagonist and Voiding symptoms (voiding difficulty, pain on micturition, an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor improves the flow rate of obstruction of urinary tract, etc.), and the like.

The agents acting on the urinary tract symptoms (especially voiding difficulty). detrusor muscle to increase the contraction, for example, cholinergic agents such as bethanechol, acetylcholinesterase 0009. However, there is no specific description of the inhibitors such as distigmine, and the like have been used. presently claimed compounds of the present invention. However, for example, bethanechol is incompatible with pregnant women, peptic ulcers, organic ileus, asthma, hyper DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION thyroidism, etc., because it contracts the detrusor muscle in 0010. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to the urinary storage phase to decrease the bladder capacity, develop an agent for preventing and/or treating lower uri while exhibiting side-effects such as epiphora, Sweating, nary tract symptoms, particularly voiding difficulty, which gastro-intestinal disorders, and stomachache. No satisfied has higher effectiveness to thess symptoms, higher conve drug is available clinically. nience and less side-effects, as compared with known com 0005. As the acetylcholinesterase inhibitors increasing pounds or a combination thereof. the contraction of detrusor muscle, distigmine, neostigmine, 0011 Under these circumstances, the present inventors etc. are known. The acetylcholinesterase inhibitors increase have conducted extensive studies on a novel agent for the bladder contractility during voiding by enhancing the preventing and/or treating a lower urinary tract symptoms, effect of acetylcholine released from the peripheral end of particularly dysuria with high urination efficiency. As a the pelvic nerves, and thus they are considered as drugs result, they have found that a compound having a chemical excellent in physiological systems of voiding. However, it is structure represented by the formula: known that, for example, while distigmine increases the bladder contractility, it also causes the urethral smooth muscle contractions by the direct activation of nicotinic (I) receptors to increase urethral resistance during voiding. H Then, the clinical effects of this drug are insufficient with the low Voiding efficiency and this agent has a risk of causing Ar-X-L-N-CHCH the high pressure voiding. In addition, neostigmine has not been used for the clinical treatment because of the short CFO duration of the action (see, for example, Takamichi Hattori and Kosaku Yasuda, “Sinkei inseiboukou-No-Sindan-To US 2007/0099986 A1 May 3, 2007 wherein Ar represents a group represented by the formula: -continued w w w w w & ,w RNHSO, w * O Y RO SONHR!
