Some embodiments of the invention include inventive compounds. Other embodiments include compositions (e.g., pharmaceutical compositions) comprising the inventive compound. Still other embodiments of the invention include compositions (e.g., pharmaceutical compositions) for treating, for example, certain diseases using the compounds. Some embodiments include methods of using the inventive compound (e.g., in compositions or in pharmaceutical compositions) for administering and treating (e.g., diseases such as cancer). Further embodiments include methods for making the inventive compounds. Other embodiments include PFKFB4 inhibitors and methods of using the same that can target neoplastic cells, including, such as, mechanisms within those cells that relate to the use of the glycolytic pathway. In other embodiments, small molecule PFKFB4 inhibitors are used to disrupt the kinase domain of PFKFB4 and, in some instances, decrease the glucose metabolism and growth of human cancers. Additional embodiments of the invention are also discussed herein.
