Claim:
A compound having the formula: wherein one of either V or X is N and the other is —CR a , or both V and X are —CR a (where each R a is independently hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl or cycloalkylalkyl); R 4 is selected from the group consisting of H, (C 1 –C 6 )alkyl, (C 1 –C 6 )haloalkyl, (C 3 –C 7 )cycloalkyl, (C 3 –C 7 )cycloalkyl-alkyl, (C 2 –C 6 )alkenyl and (C 2 –C 6 )alkynyl; A is selected from the group consisting of H, (C 1 –C 10 )alkyl, (C 3 –C 10 )alkenyl, (C 2 –C 10 )alkynyl, (C 1 –C 10 )heteroalkyl, (C 3 –C 7 )cycloalkyl, (C 3 –C 7 )cycloalkyl-alkyl, (C 3 –C 7 )heterocyclylalkyl, heterocyclyl, cycloalkyl substituted with one, two, or three substituents (where said substituents are selected from the group consisting of cyano, cyanomethyl, hydroxy, hydroxymethyl, alkoxy, amino, acylamino, monoalkylamino, di-alkylamino, —NHSO 2 R b (where R b is alkyl or aryl), or —SO n R c , where n is an integer from 0 to 2 and when n is 0, R c is H or alkyl, and when n is 1 or 2, R c is alkyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkylalkyl, aryl, aralkyl, heteroaryl, amino, acylamino, mono-alkylamino, di-alkylamino, or hydroxyalkyl), aryl, aryl(C 1 –C 4 )alkyl, aryl (C 1 –C 4 )heteroalkyl, heteroaryl, heteroaryl(C 1 –C 4 )alkyl, heteroaryl(C 1 –C 4 )heteroalkyl, and R b NHC(═X)— where R b is (C 1 –C 4 )alkyl or aryl and X is O or S; B is a substituted or unsubstituted five- or six-membered aromatic ring containing at least one nitrogen atom at a position two atoms away from the atom attaching B to the remainder of the molecule, and from 0 to 3 additional heteroatoms selected from N, O, and S, wherein the B ring substituents are selected from the group consisting of halogen, CF 3 , CF 3 O, (C 1 –C 6 )alkyl, amino, (C 1 –C 6 )alkylamino, di(C 1 –C 6 )alkylamino, cyano, nitro, sulfonamide, acyl, acylamino, and carboxamido; U is NR 5 , O or S; and, R 5 is H or (C 1 –C 6 )alkyl.
