Patent ID: 7253199

Claim:
A compound of the following Formula (I): wherein each of A 1 , A 2 , and A 4 are carbon and A 3 is nitrogen; each R is independently halo, nitro, optionally substituted alkyl; optionally substituted alkenyl; optionally substituted alkynyl; optionally substituted heteroalkyl; optionally substituted heteroalkenyl; optionally substituted heteroalkynyl; optionally substituted alkanol; optionally substituted carbocyclic aryl, optionally substituted heteroalicyclic, optionally substituted heteroaromatic, optionally substituted aralkyl; optionally substituted heteroarylalkyl; and optionally substituted heteroalicyclicalkyl; or two R groups on adjacent ring atoms are taken together with those ring to form a fused alicyclic, heteroalicyclic, carbocyclic aryl or heteraromatic group having from 4 to about 8 ring members; k is an integer; Y is selected from the group consisting of CH 2 CH, CH 2 CH(CH 2 ) q , CH 2 CR 7 CH 2 , and a branched alkyl having the formula CH 2 CH(CH 2 ) p (CH 2 ) s , wherein R 7 is H or C 1 -C 6 alkyl, s and p are the same or different and are zero or a positive integer, and q is a positive integer; W and W′ are each independently a hetero atom; optionally substituted heteroalkyl; optionally substituted heteroalkenyl; and optionally substituted heteroalkynyl; Z and Z′ are each independently a chemical bond or alkanoyl; R 1 and R 2 are each independently optionally substituted carbocyclic aryl or optionally substituted heteroaromatic, wherein when R 2 is a carbocyclic aryl and said carbocyclic aryl is a phenyl, said phenyl is substituted; or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, with the exclusion of racemates of 4-methoxy-benzoic acid 1-imidazol-1-yl methyl-2-phenoxy-ethyl ester, 4-chloro benzoic acid 1-imidazol-1-yl methyl-2-phenoxy-ethyl ester, and benzoic acid 1-imidzol-1-yl methyl-2-phenoxy-ethyl ester.
