hydrocarbon residue; R2 is an optionally esterified carboxyl group; R3 is a group capable of forming an anion or a group
convertible thereinto; X is a
covalent bond between the 2 phenyl rings or a spacer having a
chain length of 1 to 2 atoms as the linear
moiety between the adjoining
phenylene group and
phenyl group; n is 1 or 2; the ring A is a
benzene ring having 1 or 2 optional substituents in addition to R2; and Y is a bond, -O-, -S(O)m- (wherein m is 0, 1 or 2) or -N(R4)- (wherein R4 is H or an optionally substituted
alkyl group), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in combination with a compound having
