[0098] Unless otherwise defined, all scientific and technical terms used in this invention have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art.

[0099] The term "alkyl" refers to a straight-chain or branched hydrocarbon radical that does not contain unsaturated bonds and is connected to the rest of the molecule by single bonds. Typical alkyl groups contain 1 to 12 (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12) carbon atoms, such as methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl, n-pentyl, isopentyl, neopentyl, tert-pentyl, n-hexyl, isohexyl, etc. If the alkyl group is replaced by a cycloalkyl group, the corresponding radical is a "cycloalkylalkyl" radical, such as cyclopropylmethyl, cyclopropylethyl, cyclobutylmethyl, cyclopentylmethyl, cyclohexylmethyl, etc. If the alkyl group is replaced by an aryl group, the corresponding radical is an "aralkyl" radical, such as benzyl, diphenylmethyl, or phenethyl. If the alkyl group is replaced by a heterocyclic group, the corresponding radical is a "heterocyclicalkyl" radical. "Alkylene" usually refers to an alkyl group with two free valence bonds. Typical alkylene groups contain 1 to 12 (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12) carbon atoms, such as methylene, ethylene, propylene, butylene, etc.

[0101] The term "cycloalkyl" refers to a saturated or partially saturated (especially saturated) monocyclic or polycyclic group that may contain 1 to 4 monocyclic and / or fused rings and 3 to 18 carbon atoms, preferably 3 to 10 (e.g., 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) carbon atoms, such as cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl or adamantyl.

[0102] The term "aryl" refers to a monocyclic or polycyclic free radical, including polycyclic free radicals containing a monoaryl group and / or a fused aryl group, such as those containing 1-3 monocyclic or fused rings and 6-18 (e.g., 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18) carbon ring atoms. Typical aryl groups are those containing 6-12 carbon ring atoms, such as phenyl, naphthyl, biphenyl, and indenyl. "Arylidene" refers to a divalent group derived from aromatic hydrocarbons by removing two hydrogen atoms.

[0103] The term "heterocyclic group" includes heteroaromatic and heterocyclic groups containing 1 to 3 monocyclic and / or fused rings and 3 to 18 ring atoms. Preferred heteroaromatic and heterocyclic groups contain 5 to 10 ring atoms. Suitable heteroaryl groups in the compounds of the present invention contain 1, 2, or 3 heteroatoms selected from N, O, or S atoms. Examples of heteroaryl groups, such as, but not limited to, coumarins, including 8-coumarins; quinolinyl groups, including 8-quinolinyl, isoquinolinyl, pyridyl, pyrazinyl, pyrazolyl, pyrimidinyl, furanyl, pyrroloyl, thiopheneyl, thiazolyl, isothiazolyl, triazolyl, tetrazolyl, isoxazolyl, oxazolyl, imidazoleyl, indoleyl, isoindoleyl, indazoleyl, inazinyl, phthalazinyl, pteridinyl, purineyl, oxadiazolyl, thiadiazolyl, furazolidyl, pyridazinyl, triazinyl, cenolinyl, benzimidazolyl, benzofuranyl, benzofuranyl, benzothiopheneyl, benzothiazolyl, benzoxazolyl, quinazolinyl, naphridinyl, and furanopyridinyl, etc. Suitable heterocyclic groups in the compounds of the present invention contain one, two, or three heteroatoms selected from N, O, or S atoms.

[0105] "Halogen" refers to bromine, chlorine, iodine, or fluorine.

[0106] "Halogenated alkyl" refers to a group in which the hydrogen atom on the alkyl group is replaced by a halogen atom (F, Cl, Br, I), such as -CH2Rh, -CHRh2, -CRh3, where Rh is F, Cl, Br or I; such as -CF3.

[0107] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to an acidic or basic salt that is theoretically non-toxic, non-irritating, and non-allergenic, and that can achieve or provide clinically acceptable pharmacokinetic, absorption, distribution, and metabolic properties of a drug molecule to achieve its intended purpose. The salts described in this invention include pharmaceutically acceptable acidic or basic salts of compounds with acidic, basic, or amphoteric groups. A list of suitable salts can be found in SM Birge, et al., J. Pharm. Sci., 66, 1-19 (1977).

[0108] The pharmaceutically acceptable salts described in this invention include acid addition salts and base addition salts.

[0109] The acid addition salts include, but are not limited to, salts from inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrobromic acid, hydroiodic acid, and phosphonic acid, as well as salts from organic acids such as aliphatic monocarboxylic acids and dicarboxylic acids, phenyl-substituted alkanic acids, hydroxyalkanic acids, alkanedioic acids, aromatic acids, and aliphatic and aromatic sulfonic acids. Therefore, these salts include, but are not limited to, sulfates, pyrosulfates, bisulfates, sulfites, bisulfites, nitrates, phosphates, monohydrogen phosphates, dihydrogen phosphates, metaphosphates, pyrophosphates, hydrochlorides, hydrobromates, iodates, acetates, propionates, octanoates, isobutyrates, oxalates, malonates, succinates, octanoates, sebacic acid salts, fumarates, maleates, amygdalinates, benzoates, chlorobenzoates, methylbenzoates, dinitrobenzoates, phthalates, benzenesulfonates, toluenesulfonates, phenylacetates, citrates, lactates, maleates, tartrates, and methanesulfonates, as well as salts of amino acids such as arginine salts, gluconates, and galacturonic acids. Acid addition salts can be prepared by contacting a sufficient amount of the desired acid in a conventional manner to form a salt. The free base can be regenerated by contacting the salt with a base, and the free base can be separated in a conventional manner.

[0110] The base addition salts described in this invention refer to salts formed with metals or amines, such as hydroxides of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, or with organic amines. Examples of metals used as cations include, but are not limited to, sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium. Suitable amines include, but are not limited to, N,N′-dibenzylethylenediamine, chloroprocaine, choline, diethanolamine, ethylenediamine (ethane-1,2-diamine), N-methylglucosamine, and procaine. Base addition salts can be prepared by contacting a sufficient amount of the desired base in a conventional manner to form a salt. The free acid form can be regenerated by contacting the salt form with an acid, and the free acid can be separated in a conventional manner.

[0111] The term "solvent" should be understood to refer to any form of the compounds of the present invention, wherein the compounds are linked to another molecule (usually a polar solvent) by a non-covalent bond, particularly including hydrates and alcohols, such as methanols. Hydrates are preferred solvates.

[0112] The term "prodrug" is used in its broad sense and encompasses derivatives that can be converted into the compounds of the present invention in vivo. Examples of prodrugs include, but are not limited to, derivatives and metabolites of compounds, including biohydrolyzable moieties such as biohydrolyzable amides, biohydrolyzable esters, biohydrolyzable carbamates, biohydrolyzable carbonates, biohydrolyzable acylureas, and biohydrolyzable phosphate ester analogs. Preferably, the prodrug having a carboxyl functional group is a lower alkyl ester of a carboxylic acid. The carboxylic acid ester is readily obtained by esterification of any carboxylic acid moiety present in the molecule.

[0113] Any compound referred to herein is intended to represent such a particular compound and certain variations or forms thereof. In particular, the compounds referred to herein may have an asymmetric center and therefore exist in different enantiomers or diastereomers. Thus, any given compound referred to herein represents any racemic compound, one or more enantiomers, one or more diastereomers, or mixtures thereof. Similarly, stereoisomers or geometric isomers of the double bonds may also exist, thus in some cases the molecule may exist as (E)-isomers or (Z)-isomers (trans and cis isomers). If the molecule contains multiple double bonds, then each double bond will have its own stereoisomerism, which may be the same as or different from the stereoisomerism of the other double bonds of the molecule. Furthermore, the compounds referred to herein may exist as ator isomers. All stereoisomers of the compounds referred to herein, including enantiomers, diastereomers, geometric isomers, and ator isomers, and mixtures thereof, are within the scope of this invention.
