Claim:
A compound represented by the formula (I″): or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, prodrug, or ester thereof wherein W represents wherein Y′ represents O, S, or NR 15 , wherein R 15 represents a hydrogen radical or a radical as defined for R 3 ; t represents 0, 1, or 2; t′ represents 1 or 2; u represents 0, 1, or 2; R 40 , R 41 , R 42 , R 43 , R 48 , R 49 , R 50 , and R 51 independently represent a hydrogen radical or an alkyl radical; R 44 , R 45 , R 46 , and R 47 independently represent a hydrogen radical, an alkyl radical, or a hydroxyl radical; or (a) R 40 together with R 48 , (b) R 43 together with R 45 , (c) R 45 together with R 47 or (d) R 47 together with R 48 represent a bond; or (a) R 44 together with R 45 and the carbon to which they are bonded, (b) R 46 together with R 47 and the carbon to which they are bonded or (c) R 50 together with R 51 and the carbon to which they are bonded represent a carbonyl radical; R 6 represents a hydrogen radical or an alkyl radical; R 2 represents a radical selected from the group consisting of alkyl, aryl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkyalkyl, and aralkyl, which radical is optionally substituted with a substituent selected from the group consisting of alkyl, —NO 2 , —CN, —CF 3 , —OR 9 , —SR 9 , and halogen, wherein R 9 represents a hydrogen radical or an alkyl radical; Q represents R 3 represents a radical selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, haloalkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, hydroxyalkyl, alkoxyalkyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkylalkyl, heterocycloalkyl, heteroaryl, heterocycloalkyalkyl, aryl, aralkyl, heteroaralkyl, aminoalkyl, and mono- and disubstituted aminoalkyl, wherein said mono- and disubstituted aminoalkyl are substituted with one or two substituents, respectively, independently selected from the group consisting of alkyl, aryl, aralkyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkylalkyl, heteroaryl, heteroaralkyl, heterocycloalkyl, and heterocycloalkylalkyl, or wherein said disubstituted aminoalkyl is substituted with two substituents that, together with the nitrogen atom to which they are bonded, form a radical selected from the group consisting of heterocycloalkyl, heteroaryl, thioalkyl, alkylthioalkyl, arylthioalkyl, and the sulfone or sulfoxide derivatives of thioalkyl, alkylthioalkyl, or arylthioalkyl; R 4 and R 5 together with the nitrogen atom to which they are bonded represent a heterocycloalkyl radical or a heteroaryl radical; R 4 and R 5 together with the nitrogen atom to which they are bonded represent an N-heterocyclic moiety; q represents 1 or 2; and n represents 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.
