1. A compound of structural formula (2a):

OG Complex Work Unit Drawing
or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein
Ara is phenyl or thienyl;
R6 is H, or C1-C6-alkyl;
Y and Z are —CH═;
W is (V′-L4)t-V-L3-;
L3 is a direct bond, —C1-C6-hydrocarbyl, —(C1-C3-hydrocarbyl)m1-X′—(C1-C3-hydrocarbyl)m2, —NH—(C0-C3-hydrocarbyl), (C1-C3- hydrocarbyl)-NH—, or —NH—(C1-C3-hydrocarbyl)-NH—;
m1 and m2 are independently 0 or 1;
X′ is —N(R21)—, —C(O)N(R21)—, N(R21)C(O)—, —O—, or —S—;
 R21 is —H, V″—(C1-C6-hydrocarbyl)c;
L4 is (C1-C6-hydrocarbyl)a-M-(C1-C6-hydrocarbyl)b;
a and b are independently 0 or 1;
M is —NH—, —NHC(O)—, —C(O)NH—, —C(O)—, —SO2—, —NHSO2—, or —SO2NH—
V, V′, and V″ are independently selected from cycloalkyl, heterocyclyl, aryl, and heteroaryl;
t is 0 or 1;
or W, the annular C to which it is bound, and Y together form a monocyclic cycloalkyl, heterocyclyl, aryl, or heteroaryl; and
wherein the A and Ara rings are optionally further substituted with from 1 to 3 substituents independently selected from methyl, hydroxy, methoxy, halo, and amino.
