R 1 is hydrogen, C 1 -C 4 alkyl, C 1 -C 4 haloalkyl, —C(O)—C 1 -C 4 alkyl, —C(O)—C 1 -C 4 haloalkyl, —C(O)O—C 1 -C 4 alkyl, —C(O)O—C 1 -C 4 haloalkyl, or —C(O)NR e —C 1 -C 4 alkyl;
R e is hydrogen or alkyl;
wherein Q, when substituted, is independently substituted with 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 substituents, wherein the substituent is halogen, cyano, C 1 -C 5 haloalkyl, C 1 -C 5 alkyl, C 2 -C 5 alkenyl, C 2 -C 5 alkynyl, hydroxy, C 1 -C 5 alkoxy, —O—C 1 -C 5 haloalkyl, —S—C 1 -C 5 alkyl, —S—C 1 -C 5 haloalkyl, —SO 2 —C 1 -C 5 alkyl, —SO 2 —C 1 -C 5 haloalkyl, C 1 -C 5 cyanoalkyl, or —NO 2 .
2. The compound of claim 1 , wherein Q is pyridin-3-yl, pyridin-4-yl, or 6-methylpyridin-3-yl.
3. The compound of claim 1 , wherein R 1 is C 1 -C 4 alkyl or C 1 -C 4 haloalkyl.
4. The compound of claim 1 , wherein R 1 is —C(O)—C 1 -C 4 alkyl or —C(O)—C 1 -C 4 haloalkyl.
5. The compound of claim 1 , wherein R 1 is —C(O)O—C 1 -C 4 alkyl, —C(O)O—C 1 -C 4 haloalkyl or —C(O)NR e —C 1 -C 4 alkyl.
6. The compound according to claim 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, selected from the group consisting of:
2-methyl-6-[(E)-2-(6-methylpyridin-3-yl)vinyl]-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole;
2-methyl-6-[(6-methylpyridin-3-yl)ethynyl]-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole;
