The present invention relates to a compound represented by the following formula wherein each symbol is as defined in the specification, or a salt thereof, which has superior stability to acid and which is a prodrug of 2-[[[3-methyl-4-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)-2-pyridyl]methyl]sulfinyl]-1H-benzimidazole. This compound (1) shows a superior anti-ulcer activity, a gastric acid secretion-suppressive action, a mucosa-protecting action, an anti-Helicobacter pylori action and the like in living organisms, (2) shows low toxicity, (3) shows superior stability to acid (which obviates the need to formulate an enteric-coated preparation, thereby lowering the cost, and reduces the size of preparation to facilitate swallowing for patients having difficulty in swallowing), (4) shows faster absorption than enteric-coated preparations (rapid expression of gastric acid secretion-suppressive action), and (5) is sustainable.
