Patent ID: 6930106

Claim:
A method for treating a viral infection comprising administering to an animal in need thereof an effective amount of a compound of Formula I: wherein represents a substituted or unsubstituted five or six membered saturated, partially unsaturated or aromatic ring optionally containing 1 or 2 heteroatoms of O, N or S; R 2 and R 3 represent 1 to three substituents independently selected from the group consisting of halogen, —CN, N(R)(R′), —NO 2 , fluoro-C 1 -C 8 -alkyl, fluoro-C 1 -C 8 -alkyloxy, C 1 -C 8 -alkyl, aryl, ara-C 1 -C 8 -alkyl, arlyoxy, ara-C 1 -C 8 -alkyloxy, —C 1 -C 8 -alkylthio, arylthio, and hetero-C 1 -C 8 -alkyl; R, R′ and R″ are independently H or C 1 -C 8 alkyl; R and R′ may be taken together to form a 3 to 7 membered ring optionally containing an additional heteroatom of —O—, —NR″—, —S— or —SO n —; R 1 is selected from the group consisting of H, —CN, and —(CH 2 ) n —N(R 5 )R 6 ; R 5 is H or C 1 -C 8 alkyl; R 6 is selected from the group consisting of H, C 1 -C 8 alkyl, aryl, substituted aryl, ara-C 1 -C 8 -alkyl, heteroaryl, heteroara-C 1 -C 8 -alkyl, hetero-C 1 -C 8 -alkyl and substituted hetero-C 1 -C 8 -alkyl; R 5 and R 6 may be joined together to form a 5 to 7 membered ring optionally containing an additional heteroatom of —NR—, —O—, —S— or —SO n —; M and Q are independently —C— or —S(═O)—; Each n is independently 0, 1 or 2.
