Claim:
A compound according to formula (I), or a therapeutically suitable salt or prodrug thereof, wherein L 1 is a bond or is a member selected from the group consisting of —C(O)—, —O—, —S—, —S(O)—, and —S(O) 2 —; R 1 is a member selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, alkoxy, arylalkyl, arylalkoxy, arylcarbonyl, heterocycle, heterocyclealkyl, and R A R B Ncarbonyl; R 2 is a member selected from the group consisting of alkyl, alkoxy, alkenyl, alkoxyalkyl, aryl, arylalkyl, aryloxyalkyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkylalkyl, haloalkyl, heterocycle, heterocyclealkyl, heterocycleoxyalkyl, heterocycleoxyalkoxyalkyl, R 7 L 2 R 6 —, R A Salkyl, and R A R B Nalkyl; R 3 is hydrogen; R 4 , and R 5 are each independently a member selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, alkoxy, hydroxy, cyano, halo, haloalkoxy, R A R B N—, and alkylcarbonylNH—; R 6 and R 7 are each independently a member selected from the group consisting of aryl, cycloalkyl, and heterocycle; R A and R B are each independently a member selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, aryl and heterocycle; L 2 is —(CH 2 ) m X(CH 2 ) n —, X is a member selected from the group consisting of —C(O)—, —O—, —S—, —S(O)—, —S(O) 2 — or is a covalent bond, m is 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4; n is 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4; and provided that if i) any of R 3 , R 4 , or R 5 is alkyl or alkoxy, or if ii) L is a bond and R 2 is either alkyl or alkoxy; then R 1 must be other than hydrogen.
