Abstract: Disclosed is a compound represented by Structural Formula (I): Ar is a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic group. Q is a covalent bond, —CH2— or —CH2CH2—; W is a substituted or unsubstituted alkylene or a substituted or unsubstituted heteroalkylene linking group from two to ten atoms in length, preferably from two to seven atoms in length. Phenyl Ring A is optionally substituted with up to four substituents in addition to R1 and W. R1 is —(CH2)n—CH(OR2)—(CH2)mE, —(CH)?C(OR2)—(CH2)mE, —(CH2)n—CH(Y)—(CH2)mE or —(CH)?C(Y)—(CH2)mE; wherein E is COOR3, C1-C3-alkylnitrile, carboxamide, sulfonamide, acylsulfonamide or tetrazole and wherein sulfonamide, acylsulfonamide and tetrazole are optionally substituted with one or more substituents independently selected from: C1-C6 alkyl, haloalkyl and aryl-C0-4-alkyl; R2 is —H, an aliphatic group, a substituted aliphatic group, haloalkyl, an aromatic group, a substituted aromatic group, —COR4, —COOR4, —CONR5R6, —C(S)R4, —C(S)OR4 or —C(S)NR5R6.
