Claims (171)

1. A compound represented by structural formula II:

or pharmaceutically acceptable salts and individual enantiomers and diastereomers thereof wherein:

A is CH or N;

R b is C 1-6 alkyl, or halogen;

R 2 represents H, C 1-6 alkyl, CF 3 , OH;

R 3 represents (CHR 2 ) n C 5-10 heterocycle,said heterocyclyl substituted with 1 to 3 groups of R a , wherein R 2 in (CHR 2 ) n C 5-10 heterocycle is C 1-6 alkyl which is methyl and n in (CHR 2 ) n C 5-10 heterocycle is 1 ;

R 6 represents C 1-6 alkyl, (CHR 2 ) n C 6-10 aryl, (CHR 2 ) n C 5-10 heterocyclyl, said alkyl, aryl and heterocyclyl optionally substituted with 1 to 3 groups of R a ;

R a represents C 1-6 alkyl, halogen, OR 2 , (CH 2 ) n CF 3 , —O—, C 3-6 cycloalkyl, C(O)N(R 2 )2, C(O)R 2 , CN, N(R 2 )2, C(O)OR 2 , SO 2 R 2 ,(CHR 2 ) n C 5-10 heterocyclyl, or (CHR 2 ) n C 6-10 aryl, said heterocyclyl and aryl optionally substituted with 1 to 3 groups of C 1-6 alkyl, halogen, hydroxyl, (CH 2 ) n CF 3, or CN; and

n represents 0 to 4.

2. The compound according to claim 1 wherein R 6 is an optionally substituted phenyl and R 3 is substituted (CHR 2 ) n pyridyl.

3. The compound according to claim 1 wherein R 6 is (CH 2 ) n pyridyl, (CH 2 ) n oxazolyl, (CH 2 ) n pyrimidinyl, or (CH 2 ) n pyrazolyl, wherein the n in (CH 2 ) n pyridyl, (CH 2 ) n oxazolyl, (CH 2 ) n pyrimidinyl, or (CH 2 ) n pyrazolyl, is 0, said pyridyl, oxazolyl, pyrimidinyl, and pyrazolyl are optionally substituted with 1 to 3 groups of R a, and R 3 is substituted (CHR 2 ) n pyridyl.

4. A compound which is represented in Table 1:
