Patent ID: 7141586

Claim:
A compound of formula (I): or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, wherein: R 1 is hydrogen, methyl or halo; R 7 is attached to the 3- or 4-position of the phenyl ring and is S(O) p R 8 ; R 8 is (C 1 –C 4 )alkyl optionally substituted by (C 3 –C 6 )cycloalkyl; p is 0, 1 or 2; R 6 is hydrogen, halo, (C 1 –C 3 )alkyl or (C 1 –C 3 )alkoxy; m is 0 or 1; L is a (C 3 –C 8 )carbocyclic non-aromatic ring; R 2 is hydrogen; hydroxy; (C 1 –C 3 )alkoxy; (C 1 –C 3 )alkyl optionally substituted by hydroxy or (C 1 –C 3 )alkoxy; CO 2 R 9 ; NR 10 R 11 or CONR 10 R 11 ; R 3 is hydrogen or (C 1 –C 3 )alkyl; R 9 is hydrogen or (C 1 –C 3 )alkyl; and R 10 and R 11 are taken separately and are each independently hydrogen, or are: (a) (C 1 –C 6 )alkyl optionally substituted by phenyl or a 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic ring incorporating one to three heteroatoms independently selected from N, O and S; said phenyl being optionally substituted independently by one to three hydroxy, halo, (C 1 –C 3 )alkyl or (C 1 –C 3 )alkoxy; said heterocyclic ring being optionally substituted independently by one to three hydroxy, halo, (C 1 –C 3 )alkyl, (C 1 –C 3 )alkoxy or oxo; (b) (C 3 –C 8 )cycloalkyl; (c) CO((C 1 –C 6 )alkyl) optionally substituted by hydroxy, halo, (C 3 –C 8 )cycloalkyl, (C 1 –C 3 )alkoxy, phenyl or a 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic ring incorporating one to three heteroatoms independently selected from N, O and S; said phenyl being optionally substituted independently by one to three hydroxy, halo, (C 1 –C 3 )alkyl or (C 1 –C 3 )alkoxy; said heterocyclic ring being optionally substituted independently by one to three hydroxy, halo, (C 1 –C 3 )alkyl, (C 1 –C 3 )alkoxy or oxo; (d) CO(R 12 ), wherein R 12 is (C 3 –C 8 )cycloalkyl optionally substituted by (C 1 –C 3 )alkyl or R 12 is phenyl or a 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic ring incorporating one to three heteroatoms independently selected from N, O and S; said phenyl being optionally substituted by one to three hydroxy, halo, (C 1 –C 3 )alkyl or (C 1 –C 3 )alkoxy; said heterocyclic ring being optionally substituted independently by one to three hydroxy, halo, (C 1 –C 3 )alkyl, (C 1 –C 3 )alkoxy or oxo; or (e) CO 2 (C 1 –C 3 )alkyl); or R 10 and R 11 are taken together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached to form a 5- or 6-membered lactam.
