1. A compound of Formula I: wherein R1 is one of (a) a hydrogen (H)), (b) an OH, (c) a CH3, and (d) NHR wherein R is either a H or an alkyl group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and tautomers of said (b) and said (d); R2 is one of (a) a hydrogen (H), (b) a CH3, (c) an OH, and (d) NHR wherein R is either a H or an alkyl group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms; A is one of (a) CR′R″ wherein R′ and R″ are the same or different and are either a H or an alkyl group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, (b) a sulfur (S), and (c) an oxygen (O); wherein the bond at position 5-6 may either be a single or a double bond; wherein the five membered ring has a side chain attached at positions 5, 6 or 7, and wherein when said side chain attachment is at position 7 then A is CR′, and optionally includes wherein the carbon atoms at positions 5 and 6, independently, have attached thereto either (a) two hydrogen atoms if the bond between carbon atoms 5 and 6 is a single bond or one hydrogen atom if the bond between carbon atoms 5 and 6 is a double bond, or (b) an alkyl group having from one to six carbon atoms and a hydrogen atom if the bond between carbon atoms at positions 5 and 6 is a single bond or an alkyl group having from one to six carbon atoms if the bond between carbon atoms 5 and 6 is a double bond, and combinations thereof, and R3 is one of (a) a hydrogen (H), (b) CH3, (c) trifluoromethyl, (d) difluoromethyl, (e) monofluoromethyl, (f) methyl ketone, (g) trifluoromethyl ketone, (h) difluoromethyl ketone, (i) monofluoromethyl ketone, (j) formyl, (k) methyl alcohol, (l) methylamine, or (m) a bond; X is either a heterocycloalkyl-carbonyl-L-glutamate group, a heterocycloaryl-carbonyl-L-glutamate group, or a hydrogen (H), and wherein X is a hydrogen then R4 is a heterocycloalkyl-carbonyl-L-glutamate group or a heterocycloaryl-carbonyl-L-glutamate group, and wherein X is a heterocycloalkyl-carbonyl-L-glutamate group or a heterocycloaryl-carbonyl-L-glutamate group then R4 is a hydrogen or a bond; wherein R5 is the same as R3 except that R5 is not a bond; y is an integer ranging from zero up to and including 6; z is an integer ranging from zero up to and including seven, wherein when A is C, S, or O, then the sum total of integers y and z is equal to zero, 5, 6, or 7. |
