Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A compound of structural formula I:  
       
         
           
           
               
               
           
         
       
       or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein; 
 V, W, X and Z are independently selected from CH and N;  
 R 1  is H, C 1-3  alkyl, C 1-3  alkoxy, F, or Cl;  
 R 2  is S(O) n R 6 , COR 6  or CHO, wherein 
 n is 0, 1 or 2; and  
 R 6  is N(R 3 ) 2  or C 1-3  alkyl;  
 
 R 3  is independently H or C 1-3  alkyl;  
 Ar is aryl or heteroaryl;  
 R 4  and R 5  are independently selected from: 
 (1) hydrogen,  
 (2) aryl, either unsubstituted or substituted with 
 (a) halo  
 (b) C 1-3  alkoxy,  
 (c)—N(C 1-3  alkyl) 2 ,  
 (d) C 2-4  alkanoyl, or  
 (e) aryl;
