Claim:
A compound of formula I: or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative or prodrug thereof, wherein: R 1 is selected from R, halogen, N(R 8 ) 2 , OR, NRCOR, NRCON(R 8 ) 2 , CON(R 8 ) 2 , SO 2 R, NRSO 2 R, or SO 2 N(R 8 ) 2 ; T is selected from a valence bond or a linker group selected from —O—, —S—, —NH 2 —, or an optionally substituted C 1-6 alkylidene chain, wherein up to two saturated carbons of the chain are optionally replaced by —C(═O)—, —CONH—, CONHNH—, —CO 2 —, —NHCO 2 —, —O═, —NHCONH—, —OC(═O)—, —OC(═O)NH—, —NHNH—, —NHCO—, —O—, —S—, —SO—, SO 2 —, —NH—, —SO 2 NH—, or NHSO 2 —; each R is independently selected from hydrogen or an optionally substituted aliphatic group having one to six carbons; R 2 is selected from hydrogen, CN, halogen, aryl, aralkyl, heteroaryl, heterocyclyl, an optionally substituted acyclic aliphatic chain group having one to six carbons, or an optionally substituted cyclic aliphatic group having four to ten carbons; R 3 is selected from R, OH, OR, N(R 8 ) 2 , halogen, or CN; Q is a valence bond, J, or an optionally substituted C 1-6 alkylidene chain wherein up to two nonadjacent carbons of the alkylidene chain are each optionally and independently replaced by J; J is selected from —C(═O)—, —CO 2 —, —C(O)C(O)—, —NRCONR 8 —, —N(R)N(R 8 )—, —C(═O)NR 8 —, —NRC(═O)—, —O—, —S—, —SO—, —SO 2 —, —N(R)O—, —ON(R 8 )—, —OC(═O)N(R 8 )—, —N(R)COO—, —SO 2 N(R 8 )—, —N(R)SO 2 —, or —N(R 8 )—; R 4 is selected from —R 8 , —R 5 , —NH 2 , —NHR 5 , —N(R 5 ) 2 , or —NR 5 (CH 2 ) y N(R 5 ) 2 ; each R 5 is independently selected from R 6 , R 7 , —(CH 2 ) y CH(R 6 )(R 7 ), —(CH 2 ) y R 6 , —(CH 2 ) y CH(R 6 ) 2 , —(CH 2 ) y CH(R 7 ) 2 , or —(CH 2 ) y R 7 ; y is 0–6; each R 6 is an optionally substituted group independently selected from an aliphatic, aryl, aralkyl, aralkoxy, heteroaryl, heteroarylalkyl, heteroarylalkoxy, heterocyclyl, heterocyclylalkyl, or heterocyclylalkoxy, group; each R 7 is independently selected from an optionally substituted aliphatic, hydroxyalkyl, alkoxyalkyl, aryloxyalkyl, or alkoxycarbonyl; each R 8 is independently selected from R, or two R 8 on the same nitrogen taken together with the nitrogen optionally form a four to eight membered, saturated or unsaturated heterocyclic ring having one to three heteroatoms; and each substitutable ring nitrogen is optionally substituted by R, NR 2 , COR, CO 2 (C 1 –C 6 optionally substituted alkyl), SO 2 (C 1 –C 6 optionally substituted alkyl), CONR 2 , and SO 2 NR 2 provided that QR 4 is other than CON(CH 3 ) 2 when R 1 and R 3 are each hydrogen and when TR 2 is an unsubstituted phenyl ring attached at the 4-position of the pyrazole ring.
