11 . The compound of claim 1 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein each R 4 is independently selected from H, methyl, isobutyl, F, Cl, trifluoromethyl, methoxy, difluoromethoxy, trifluoromethoxy, N,N-dimethylamido, 3,3,3-trifluoropropyl, 2,2-difluoroethyl, 3-fluoropropyl, and methoxyethyl.

12 . The compound of claim 1 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R is H, methyl, ethyl, 2-hydroxy-ethyl, or benzyl.

13 . The compound of claim 1 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R 1 is H or methyl.

14 . The compound of claim 1 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R 2 is H or methyl.

15 . The compound of claim 1 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R 3 is H or methyl.
