Claim:
A compound of Formula I or II or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, amide, ester, or prodrug thereof, where a) R 1 is an straight-chain, branched, or cyclic alkyl group having greater than eight carbon atoms; b) R 2 -R 9 are each independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, perhaloalkyl, nitro, amino, a diazo salt, optionally substituted lower alkyl, optionally substituted lower alkylene, optionally substituted lower alkoxy, optionally substituted lower alkoxyalkyl, optionally substituted lower alkoxyalkoxy, optionally substituted lower mercaptyl, optionally substituted lower mercaptoalkyl, optionally substituted lower mercaptomercaptyl, —C(O)OH, —OC(O)H, —C(O)OR, —OC(O)R, —C(S)OR, —OC(S)R, —C(O)SR, —SC(O)R, —C(S)SR, —SC(S)R, C-amido, N-amido, and optionally substituted five- or six-membered heteroaryl ring or optionally substituted six-membered aryl or heteroaryl ring, where the lower alkyl and the lower alkylene moieties are each independently and optionally substituted with one or more substituents selected from the group consisting of halogen, perhaloalkyl, nitro, amino, hydroxy, alkoxy, sulfhydryl, thioether, cyano, amido, ester, and where A is selected from the group consisting of oxygen, sulfur, and —NH and R 12 is selected for the group consisting of hydrogen, hydroxy, alkoxy, haloalkoxy, halogen, haloalkyl, perhaloalkyl, nitro, amino, and a diazo salt, and n is between 0-4; and where the ring moieties are each independently and optionally substituted with one or more substituents selected from the group consisting of lower alkyl, lower alkylene, c) R 10 and R 11 in the compound of Formula I are each independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and lower alkyl; provided that: when R 1 is C 15 H 31 , R 2 and R 3 are both CH 3 , R 4 is C(O)OCH(CH 3 ) 2 , and R 6 is either OCH 3 , OCH 2 CH 3 , or OCH(CH 3 ) 2 , then R 5 is not C(O)OCH 3 , C(O)OCH 2 CH 3 , or C(O)OCH(CH 3 ) 2 ; or when R 1 is C 15 H 31 , R 3 and R 3 are both CH 3 , R 4 is C(O)OCH 2 CH 3 , and R 6 is either OCH 3 or OCH 2 CH 3 , then R 5 is not C(O)OCH 3 or C(O)OCH 2 CH 3 ; or when R 1 is C 15 H 31 , R 2 and R 3 are both CH 3 , R 6 is OCH(CH 3 ) 2 , and R 4 is either C(O)OCH 3 or C(O)OCH 2 CH 3 , then R 5 is not C(O)OCH 3 or C(O)OCH 2 ch 3 .
