Methods of using compounds having certain inhibitory effect to treat cancer are disclosed. More specifically, methods of using myosin light chain kinase inhibitor (MLCK) to treat cancer are disclosed. MLCK inhibitors may cause reduction in MLC-P and induce apoptosis in neoplastic cells and prevent and or inhibit the tumor growth.
