Patent ID: 6962920

Claim:
A compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, formulations and prodrugs thereof, having the formula wherein L and M are selected from the group consisting of carbon and CH, the chemical bond between L and M is selected from the group consisting of a single bond and a double bond, L and M are carbon when the bond is a double bond, and L and M are CH when the bond is a single bond; wherein Z 6 and Z 7 are different and are selected from the group consisting of R 14 and where Z 6 is R 14 when Z 7 is and Z 6 is when Z 7 is R 14 ; wherein A 2 is selected from the group consisting of carbon and CH; wherein B 2 is selected from the group consisting of carbon and CH; wherein the chemical bond between A 2 and B 2 is selected from the group consisting of a single bond and a double bond, A 2 and B 2 are carbon when the bond is a double bond and A 2 and B 2 are CH when the bond is a single bond; wherein R 14 is selected from the group consisting of H and a lower alkyl group; wherein R 15 is selected from the group consisting of H and a lower alkyl group; wherein R 16 is selected from the group consisting of H and a lower alkyl group; wherein R 17 is selected from the group consisting of aryl, diaryl, triaryl, mono-di or tri-substituted aryl, mono-, di- or tri-substituted diaryl, mono-, di- or tri-substituted triaryl, and substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl and each of said substituents is independently selected from the group consisting of a substituted or unsubstituted lower alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkoxy, a substituted or unsubstituted alkoxyaryloxy group, and a halogen; and wherein each lower alkyl group is independently selected from the group consisting of lower alkyl groups having from about 1 to 6 carbons.
