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.
本发明的某些实施方案包括本发明化合物。其他实施方案包括包含本发明化合物的组合物(如药物组合物)。本发明的另一些实施方案包括使用本发明化合物治疗例如某些疾病的组合物(例如药物组合物)。一些实施方案包括使用本发明化合物(例如在组合物中或在药物组合物中)施用和治疗(例如癌症等疾病)的方法。进一步的实施方案包括制造本发明化合物的方法。其它实施方案包括PFKFB4抑制剂和使用该抑制剂的方法,它们可以靶向肿瘤细胞,包括如这些细胞内与使用糖酵解途径有关的机制。在其他实施方案中,小分子 PFKFB4 抑制剂用于破坏 PFKFB4 的激酶结构域,并在某些情况下降低人类癌症的葡萄糖代谢和生长。本文还讨论了本发明的其他实施方案。
