Patent ID: 7297709

Claim:
A compound of formula (I) or a therapeutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein A is phenyl; X is NR 9 ; R 1 and R 2 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkoxy, alkoxyalkoxy, alkoxyalkyl, alkyl, aryl, arylalkyl, aryloxy, aryloxyalkyl, halo, haloalkoxy, haloalkyl, hydroxy, hydroxyalkoxy, hydroxyalkyl, (NR a R b )alkoxy, (NR a R b )alkenyl, (NR a R b )alkyl, (NR a R b )alkynyl, (NR a R b )carbonylalkenyl, and (NR a R b )carbonylalkyl; one of R 3 or R 4 is LR 6 , and the other and R 5 are independently selected from the group hydrogen, alkoxy, alkoxyalkoxy, alkyl, halo, haloalkoxy, haloalkyl, hydroxy, and LR 6 ; provided that at least two of R 3 , R 4 , and R 5 are other than LR 6 ; L is selected from the group consisting of (CH 2 ) m N(R 7 )C(O)N(R 8 )(CH 2 ) n and CH 2 C(O)NR 7 , wherein m and n are independently 0 or 1, and wherein each group is drawn with its left end attached to A; R 6 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, aryl, cycloalkyl, heterocyclyl, and 1,3-benzodioxolyl wherein the 1,3-benzodioxolyl can be optionally substituted with one, two, or three substituents independently selected from the group consisting of alkenyl, alkoxy, alkoxyalkyl, alkoxycarbonyl, alkyl, alkylcarbonyl, aryl, arylalkoxy, arylalkyl, aryloxy, carboxy, cyano, cycloalkyl, halo, haloalkoxy, haloalkyl, a second heterocyclyl group, heterocyclylalkyl, hydroxy, hydroxyalkyl, nitro, —NR c R d , and (NR c R d )alkyl; R 7 and R 8 are independently selected from the group consising of hydrogen and alkyl; R 9 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkenyl, alkoxyalkyl, alkyl, alkylcarbonyl, aryl, heterocyclylalkyl, hydroxyalkyl, and (NR a R b )alkyl; R a and R b are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkenyl, alkyl, alkylcarbonyl, alkylsulfonyl, aryl, arylalkyl, arylcarbonyl, arylsulfonyl, haloalkylsulfonyl, cycloalkyl, heterocyclyl, heterocyclylalkyl, and heterocyclylsulfonyl; and R c and R d are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, alkylcarbonyl, aryl, arylalkyl, cycloalkyl, and heterocyclyl.
