1. A compound of formula (I), embedded imageor a pharmaceutically-acceptable salt, hydrate, in which:

  • X is N;

    R1 is hydrogen or C1-6alkyl;

    R2 is C1-6alkyl or C2-6alkenyl, each optionally substituted with aryl;

    E is E1 wherein embedded imageG is selected from G is C2-4alkenyl, NHC(═

    O)R19, SO2R17, or when y is 0, G may also be pyrrolidinyl, piperidinyl, pyrrolidinyl(lower alkyl), or piperidinyl(lower alkyl);

    W is OH, —

    NH2, NH(lower alkyl), N(lower alkyl)2, azetidinyl, or imidazolyl, wherein the azetidinyl and imidazolyl are optionally substituted with lower alkyl;

    R4 and R7 are independently selected from hydrogen, alkyl, substituted alkyl, halogen, hydroxy, alkoxy, and keto;

    R5a, R5b, R6, R6a, R6b, R8 and R9 are independently hydrogen, halogen, cyano, alkyl, substituted alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloakyl, heterocyclo, aryl, heteroaryl, —

    R25, R26 and R27 are independently hydrogen, alkyl, substituted alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, heterocyclo, or heteroaryl;

    or R25 and R26 may join together to form a heterocyclic or heteroaryl, except R26 is not hydrogen when joined to a sulfonyl group as in —

    S(O)pR26 or —

    NR25SO2R26;

    p is 1, 2, or 3;

    x is 0, 1, or 2 y is 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4; and
