Claims (24)

1. A compound of formula (I),

wherein n is 0 or 1,

X is —S—;

A is N;

R a is —C(═O)OR a1 ; wherein

R a1 is H or linear or branched C 1-15 alkyl;

R b is linear or branched C 5-15 alkyl, linear or branched C 2-15 alkenyl, C 1-3 alkoxy-C 1-15 alkyl-, -T′-C 3-10 cycloalkyl, -T′-C 3-10 cycloalkenyl, -T′-C 6-10 aryl or -T′-C 5-10 heteroaryl;

R c each is independently linear or branched C 1-15 alkyl, linear or branched C 1-15 alkoxyl, hydroxyl group, or —C 1-10 alkylene-Y—C 6-10 heteroaryl wherein —Y— is —CH 2 —, —NH—, —O— or —S—;

m is an integer from 0 to 4;

-T′- is C 1-3 alkylene or C 2-3 alkenylene; and

wherein the heteroaryl contains at least one heteroatom, each heteroatom being independently S, N or O;

wherein the alkyl, alkenyl, alkoxy, cycloalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, alkylene and alkenylene are each independently unsubstituted or substituted with at least one substituent; and

wherein the substituent is each independently a halogen, amino, nitro, nitroso, linear or branched C 1-15 alkyl, or linear or branched C 1-15 alkoxy or C 3-10 cycloalkyl;

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
