wherein:

R 1 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, optionally substituted C 1 -C 6 alkyl, optionally substituted C 2 -C 6 alkenyl, optionally substituted C 2 -C 6 alkynyl, optionally substituted C 3 -C 8 cycloalkyl, optionally substituted aryl, optionally substituted —(C 1 -C 2 alkylene)-(aryl), optionally substituted C 2 -C 9 heterocycloalkyl, optionally substituted heteroaryl, and optionally substituted —(C 1 -C 2 alkylene)-(heteroaryl);

R 2 is selected from the group consisting of —CN, —C(O)OR 25 , —C(O)N(R 25 )R 26 ,

or R 1 and R 2 together with the carbon atoms to which they are attached, form an optionally substituted C 2 -C 9 heterocycloalkyl ring or an optionally substituted heteroaryl ring;

R 4 and R 5 are each independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, optionally substituted C 1 -C 6 alkoxy, optionally substituted C 1 -C 6 alkyl, optionally substituted C 2 -C 6 alkenyl, and optionally substituted C 2 -C 6 alkynyl; or R 4 and R 5 together with the carbon atom to which they are attached, form an optionally substituted C 3 -C 6 cycloalkyl ring or an optionally substituted C 2 -C 7 heterocycloalkyl ring;

R 6 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, optionally substituted C 1 -C 6 alkyl, optionally substituted C 2 -C 6 alkenyl, optionally substituted C 2 -C 6 alkynyl, and —C(O)N(R 27 )R 28 ;

R 7 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, optionally substituted C 1 -C 6 alkyl, optionally substituted C 1 -C 6 alkoxy, optionally substituted C 2 -C 6 alkenyl, and optionally substituted C 2 -C 6 alkynyl;

R 8 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, optionally substituted C 1 -C 6 alkyl, optionally substituted C 3 -C 8 cycloalkyl, optionally substituted aryl, optionally substituted —(C 1 -C 2 alkylene)-(aryl), optionally substituted heteroaryl, optionally substituted C 2 -C 9 heterocycloalkyl, and optionally substituted —(C 1 -C 2 alkylene)-(heteroaryl);

each R 11 is independently selected from the group consisting of halogen, —CN, amino, alkylamino, C 1 -C 6 alkyl, C 1 -C 6 haloalkyl, C 1 -C 6 alkoxy, C 1 -C 6 haloalkoxy, C 3 -C 8 cycloalkyl, C 2 -C 9 heterocycloalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, —C(O)OR 12 , and —C(O)N(R 13 )R 14 ;

each R 12 is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and C 1 -C 6 alkyl;

each R 13 and R 14 are each independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and C 1 -C 6 alkyl; or R 13 and R 14 together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached, form an optionally substituted C 2 -C 9 heterocycloalkyl ring;

R 25 and R 26 are each independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, optionally substituted C 1 -C 6 alkyl, optionally substituted C 3 -C 8 cycloalkyl, optionally substituted aryl, optionally substituted —(C 1 -C 2 alkylene)-(aryl), optionally substituted C 2 -C 9 heterocycloalkyl, optionally substituted heteroaryl, and optionally substituted —(C 1 -C 2 alkylene)-(heteroaryl);

R 27 and R 28 are each independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, optionally substituted C 1 -C 6 alkyl, optionally substituted C 3 -C 8 cycloalkyl, optionally substituted aryl, optionally substituted —(C 1 -C 2 alkylene)-(aryl), optionally substituted C 2 -C 9 heterocycloalkyl, optionally substituted heteroaryl, and optionally substituted —(C 1 -C 2 alkylene)-(heteroaryl); or R 27 and R 28 together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached, form an optionally substituted C 2 -C 9 heterocycloalkyl ring;

R 30 is halogen,

each R 31 is independently halogen, —OH, —CN, —NO 2 , —NH 2 , optionally substituted C 1 -C 6 alkyl, optionally substituted C 1 -C 6 alkoxy, optionally substituted C 1 -C 6 alkylamine, optionally substituted C 3 -C 8 cycloalkyl, optionally substituted C 2 -C 9 heterocycloalkyl, aryl, or heteroaryl;

each R 32 and R 33 are each independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, and C 1 -C 6 alkyl;

R 34 and R 35 are each independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, optionally substituted C 1 -C 6 alkyl, optionally substituted C 3 -C 8 cycloalkyl, and optionally substituted C 2 -C 9 heterocycloalkyl; or R 34 and R 35 together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached, form an optionally substituted C 2 -C 9 heterocycloalkyl ring;
