Patent ID: 8017773

Claim:
A compound of formula I: wherein R 1 is selected from the group consisting of lower alkyl, cycloalkyl, lower cycloalkylalkyl and tetrahydropyranyl; R 2 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, lower alkyl, cycloalkyl, lower cycloalkylalkyl, lower halogenalkyl, lower alkoxyalkyl and lower cyanoalkyl; R 3 is selected from the group consisting of lower alkyl, —(CH 2 ) m -aryl, wherein m is 0, 1 or 2 and wherein the aryl ring is unsubstituted or substituted with one, two or three groups independently selected from lower alkyl, halogen, lower halogenalkyl, cyano, lower cyanoalkyl, lower alkoxy, lower alkanoyl, benzoyl, lower halogenalkoxy, lower hydroxyalkyl, lower alkanoylamino and lower alkylsulfonyl, —(CH 2 ) n -heteroaryl, wherein n is 0, 1 or 2 and wherein the heteroaryl ring is unsubstituted or substituted with one, two or three groups independently selected from lower alkyl, halogen, lower halogenalkyl, cyano, lower cyanoalkyl, lower alkoxy, lower alkanoyl, benzoyl, lower halogenalkoxy, lower hydroxyalkyl, lower alkanoylamino and lower alkylsulfonyl, and —NR 4 R 5 ; R 4 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, lower alkyl, lower halogenalkyl, lower alkoxyalkyl and lower cyanoalkyl; R 5 is selected from the group consisting of lower alkyl, lower halogenalkyl, lower alkoxyalkyl, lower cyanoalkyl, phenyl unsubstituted or substituted with one, two or three groups independently selected from lower alkyl, halogen, lower halogenalkyl, cyano, lower alkoxy, lower alkanoyl, benzoyl, lower halogenalkoxy and lower hydroxyalkyl, and lower phenylalkyl wherein the phenyl ring may be unsubstituted or substituted with one or two groups independently selected from lower alkyl, halogen, lower halogenalkyl, cyano, lower alkoxy, lower alkanoyl, benzoyl, lower halogenalkoxy and lower hydroxyalkyl; or R 4 and R 5 together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached form a 4-, 5-, 6- or 7-membered heterocyclic ring optionally containing a further heteroatom selected from nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur, a sulfinyl group or a sulfonyl group, said heterocyclic ring being unsubstituted or substituted by one, two or three groups independently selected from lower alkyl, halogen, halogenalkyl, cyano, hydroxy, lower hydroxyalkyl, lower alkoxy, oxo, phenyl, benzyl, pyridyl and carbamoyl, or being condensed with a phenyl ring, said phenyl ring being unsubstituted or substituted by one, two or three groups independently selected from lower alkyl, lower alkoxy and halogen; and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
