Patent ID: 8329916

Claim:
A compound having the formula: wherein R is a substituted or unsubstituted thiazolyl unit having the formula: R 2 and R 3 are each independently chosen from: i) hydrogen; or ii) substituted or unsubstituted C 1 -C 6 linear, C 3 -C 6 branched, or C 3 -C 6 cyclic alkyl; R 4 is a unit chosen from: i) hydrogen; or ii) substituted or unsubstituted C 1 -C 6 linear, C 3 -C 6 branched, or C 3 -C 6 cyclic alkyl; R 1 is substituted or unsubstituted phenyl, said substitutions are independently chosen from one or more halogen, C 1 -C 6 linear, C 3 -C 6 branched, or C 3 -C 6 cyclic alkyl, —OR 11 , —CN, —N(R 11 ) 2 , —CO 2 R 11 , —C(O)N(R 11 ) 2 , —NR 11 C(O)R 11 , —NO 2 , —SO 2 R 11 , phenyl, benzyl, or two substitutions can be taken together to form a cycloalkyl, heterocyclic, or heteroaryl ring comprising from 3-7 atoms, said rings comprising one or more heteroatoms chosen from oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur; each R 11 is independently hydrogen; substituted or unsubstituted C 1 -C 4 linear, C 3 -C 4 branched, C 3 -C 4 cyclic alkyl or substituted or unsubstituted phenyl or benzyl; or when R 1 is substituted by phenyl or benzyl, said phenyl or benzyl can be further substituted by halogen, C 1 -C 3 linear alkyl, C 1 -C 3 linear alkoxy, —CO 2 R 11 and —NHCOR 16 ; each R 16 is independently hydrogen, methyl, or ethyl; L has the formula: —C(O)[C(R 6a R 6b )] x —; R 6a and R 6b are each independently: i) hydrogen; or ii) C 1 -C 4 linear or C 3 -C 4 branched alkyl; the index x is from 0 to 4; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
