Claim:
A compound of the formula I G(—O 2 CR′) m (—OH) n (—O 2 C(CH 2 ) p CH 3 ) q I wherein G is a C 3 to C 5 branched or straight carbon chain and (—O 2 CR′), (—OH) and (—O 2 C(CH 2 ) p CH 3 ) are attached to any available carbon atom along G; m is an integer from 1 to 4; n is an integer from 0 to 3; p is integer from 0 to 16; q is an integer from 0 to 3; where the sum of m, n and q is 3 or 4; and —O 2 CR′ is a fragment of a compound of formula wherein W is a bicyclic hetroaryl of the structure X is —CHR 5 — or —CH 2 CHR 5 —; Y is a bond or —CHR 6 —; Z is an aryl or heteroaryl group of the following structure: A is —CH— or —N—; B is —O— or —S—; R 1 is hydrogen, alkyl, aryl or alkenyl; R 2 is hydrogen, alkyl, aryl, arylalkyl, heteroarylalkyl or alkenyl; R 3 and R 4 are each independently hydrogen, halo, trifluoromethyl, cyano, alkyl or alkoxy; R 5 and R 6 are each independently hydrogen, alkyl, aryl, alkenyl, CN, CN 4 R 9A (tetrazole), CO 2 R 9A , CONR 9A R 9B or CONR 9A OR 9B ; R 7 and R 8 are each independently hydrogen, halo, trifluoromethyl, cyano, hydroxy, a hydrogen bonding group, alkyl, alkoxy, aryl, arylalkyl, heteroarylalkyl, aryloxy or alkenyl; and R 9A and R 9B are independently hydrogen, alkyl, arylalkyl, heteroarylalkyl or aryl, or R 9A and R 9B may optionally be cyclized together to form a ring, wherein said ring may further be substituted with one to three additional hydrogen bonding groups; wherein when R 1 , R 2 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 and R 8 are alkyl, aryl, alkenyl, arylalkyl, heteroarylalkyl, alkoxy or aryloxy, R 1 , R 2 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 and R 8 may each independently be substituted with 1 to 3 hydrogen bonding groups.
