R 5 is carbocyclyl, heterocyclyl, aryl, or heteroaryl.

2. The compound of claim 1 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R 1 is hydrogen.

3. The compound of claim 1 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R 1 is alkyl.

4. The compound of claim 3 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R 1 is methyl.

5. The compound of any one of claim 1 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R 2 is hydrogen.

6. The compound of claim 1 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the compound of Formula (I) is of Formula (Ia):

7. The compound of claim 1 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the compound of Formula (I) is of Formula (Ib):

8. The compound of any one of claim 1 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R 3 is alkyl.

9. The compound of claim 8 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R 3 is methyl.

10. The compound of any one of claim 1 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R 3 is alkyl substituted with at least one halogen.

11. The compound of any one of claim 1 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R 3 is carbocyclylalkyl or heterocyclylalkyl.

12. The compound of claim 11 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R 3 is selected from a group consisting of:

13. The compound of any one of claim 1 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R 4 is halogen.

14. The compound of claim 13 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R 4 is chloro or fluoro.

15. The compound of any one of claim 1 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R 4 is alkyl substituted with at least one halogen.

16. The compound of claim 15 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R 4 is —CF 3 .

17. The compound of any one of claim 1 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R 4 is alkoxy.

18. The compound of claim 17 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R 4 is methoxy.

19. The compound of any one of claims 1 - 12 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R 4 is alkoxy substituted with at least one halogen.

20. The compound of claim 19 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R 4 is —OCF 3 .
