There is provided an imidazole derivative useful as a thrombosis treating agent, which is represented by the formula (I): n n n n n n n n n n wherein R represents an optionally substituted cyclic hydrocarbon group or an optionally substituted heterocyclic group, W represents a bond or an optionally substituted divalent linear hydrocarbon group, X represents an optionally substituted divalent hydrocarbon group, Y represents —CO—, —S(O)—, —S(O) 2 — or a bond, ring A represents an optionally substituted pyrrolidine ring, an optionally substituted piperidine ring or an optionally substituted perhydroazepine ring, Z 1 and Z 3 independently represent a bond or an optionally substituted divalent linear hydrocarbon group, Z 2 represents —N(R 1 )—, —O—, —S(O)—, —S(O) 2 —, —CO—, —CH(R 1 )— or a bond, ring B represents an optionally substituted imidazole ring, wherein a substituent which the optionally substituted imidazole ring represented by ring B may have may be taken together with R 1 to form an optionally substituted ring, and a represents 0, 1 or 2. |
