Patent ID: 7795257

Claim:
A compound of the formula wherein Q combined together with the carbon and nitrogen atoms to which it is attached form a 5- to 6-membered monocyclic heteroaromatic ring which is selected from the group consisting of Q combined together with the carbon and nitrogen atoms to which it is attached form a 9- to 10-membered bicyclic heterocycle which is selected from the group consisting of R 1 and R 2 are, independently from each other, hydrogen, halogen, cyano, nitro, substituted alkoxy or optionally substituted alkyl, alkylthio, alkylthiono, sulfonyl, free or esterified carboxy, carbamoyl, sulfamoyl, optionally substituted amino, aryl or heterocyclyl; or R 2 is absent; R 3 is C 3 -C 6 cycloalkyl; R 4 is hydrogen, halogen, cyano, lower alkyl or lower alkoxy; R 5 is hydrogen, optionally substituted alkyl, or cycloalkyl; R 6 is —(CR 7 R 8 ) m —W—R 9 in which R 7 and R 8 are, independently from each other, hydrogen, optionally substituted alkyl or cycloalkyl; or R 7 and R 8 combined are alkylene which together with the carbon atom to which they are attached form a 3- to 7-membered ring; m is zero or an integer from 1 to 5; W is —NR 10 — in which R 10 is hydrogen, optionally substituted alkyl or heterocyclyl; or R 10 is —C(O)R 11 , —C(O)OR 11 , or —C(O)NR 12 R 13 in which R 11 and R 12 are, independently from each other, optionally substituted alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, aralkyl or heteroaralkyl; R 13 is hydrogen or lower alkyl; or R 13 and R 12 combined are alkylene which together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached form a 4- to 7-membered ring; or W is absent; R 9 is hydrogen, optionally substituted C 1 -C 7 alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl or heterocyclyl; or R 9 and R 10 combined are alkylene which together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached form a 4- to 7-membered ring; or R 6 and R 5 combined are alkylene which together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached form a 4- to 7-membered ring which may be optionally substituted, or may contain 1 to 3 other heteroatoms selected from oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur, or may be part of another ring; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
