The present invention provides materials and methods to induce cell death by methuosis, a non-apoptotic cell death mechanism, to induce vacuolization without cell death, or to induce cell death without vacuolization. Small molecules herein are useful for treating cell proliferation disorders or anomalies, particularly, but not exclusively, cancer. Methods related to the research and pharmaceutical use of the small molecules are also provided herein.
