9. The method of claim 6 , wherein R 7 is —C(O)-alkyl substituted with a halogen.

10. The method of claim 2 , wherein R 3 and R 4 are nitro; R 1 , R 2 , R 5 , and R 6 each represent independently for each occurrence hydrogen or alkyl; R 7 is —C(O)—CH 3 substituted with a halogen; and variable o is 1.

11. The method of claim 3 , wherein R 3 and R 4 are nitro; R 1 , R 2 , R 5 , and R 6 each represent independently for each occurrence hydrogen or alkyl; R 7 is —C(O)—CH 3 substituted with a halogen; and variable o is 1.

12. The method of claim 2 , wherein the compound is

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

13. The method of claim 3 , wherein the compound is

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

14. The method of claim 2 , wherein the compound is

15. The method of claim 3 , wherein the compound is
