Claims (62)

1. A compound having the formula:

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or stereoisomer thereof, wherein:

R 1 is cycloalkyl, which can be unsubstituted or optionally substituted with an alkyl or halo group;

R 2 is H, alkyl, halo or —O-alkyl;

R 3 is alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl or heteroaryl, wherein any R 3 group can be unsubstituted or optionally substituted with R 4 ;

each occurrence of R 4 represents 1 to 4 substituents, which can be the same or different, and which are selected from alkyl, halo, —CN, —OR 5 , haloalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, heterocycloalkyl, cycloalkyl, —N(R 5 ) 2 , —S(O) 2 R 6 , —C(O)R 5 , —C(O)OR 5 or —C(O)N(R 5 ) 2 ;

each occurrence of R 5 is independently H, alkyl or aryl;

each occurrence of R 6 is independently alkyl, aryl, haloalkyl, cycloalkyl, heterocycloalkyl or heteroaryl;

each occurrence of R 7 is independently H, alkyl, halo, —CN, —O-alkyl or haloalkyl;

each occurrence of R 8 is independently H or alkyl;

J is —C(R 7 )— or —N—;

K is —C(R 7 )— or —N—;

L is —C(R 7 )— or —N—;

Q is arylene or heteroarylene, each of which can be unsubstituted or optionally substituted with R 4 ;

W is a bond, alkylene, —C(O)—, —C(O)O—, —C(O)NH— or —S(O) 2 —;

Y is alkylene, —O— or —N(R 5 )—;

Z is alkylene, —O— or —N(R 5 )—;

p is 0, 1 or 2;

q is 1, 2 or 3, such that the sum of p and q is from 1 to 4; and

each occurrence of t is independently 0 or 1.

2. The compound of claim 1 , wherein Q is phenylene or pyridylene.

3. The compound of claim 2 , wherein Q is:

4. The compound of claim 1 , wherein Y is —NH— or —O—.

7. The compound of claim 1 , wherein W is —C(O)O— or —S(O) 2 —.

8. The compound of claim 1 , wherein p is 1 and q is 2.

9. The compound of claim 1 , wherein R 1 is cyclopropyl or cyclobutyl.

10. The compound of claim 1 , wherein R 2 is H, methyl or methoxy.

11. The compound of claim 1 , wherein R 3 is alkyl or cycloalkyl.

12. The compound of claim 11 , wherein R 3 is isopropyl, t-butyl or cyclopropyl.

13. The compound of claim 1 , wherein J and L are each —N— and K is —CH—.

14. The compound of claim 1 , wherein each occurrence of R 8 is H.

15. The compound of claim 1 having the formula:

wherein:

G is —CH— or —N—;

W is —C(O)O— or —S(O) 2 —;

Y is —O— or —N(R 5 )—;

R 1 is cycloalkyl;

R 2 is H, alkyl or —O-alkyl;

R 3 is alkyl or cycloalkyl;

R 4 represents 1 to 4 optional substituents, which can be the same or different, and which are selected from alkyl, halo, —CN and —O-alkyl; and

each occurrence of R 5 is independently H or alkyl.

16. The compound of claim 1 having the formula:

wherein:

G is —CH— or —N—;

Y is —O— or —NH—;

R 1 is cyclopropyl or cyclobutyl;

R 2 is H, methyl or methoxy;

R 3 is alkyl; and

R 4 is H, Cl or F.

17. The compound of claim 1 having the formula:

wherein:

G is —CH— or —N—;

Y is —O— or —NH—;

R 1 is cyclopropyl or cyclobutyl;

R 2 is H, methyl or methoxy;

R 3 is cycloalkyl; and

R 4 is H, Cl or F.

18. A compound having the structure:

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or stereoisomer thereof.

19. A composition comprising an effective amount of one or more compounds of claim 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or stereoisomer thereof, and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
