Disclosed are methods of decreasing proliferation of adenocarcinoma cancer cells, or of inducing apoptosis of adenocarcinoma cancer cells, or of inducing differentiation of adenocarcinoma cancer cells into non-cancerous cells. One such method includes contacting the adenocarcinoma cancer cells with a compound under conditions effective for the compound to inhibit binding of leukotriene B4 to leukotriene B4 receptor. In another such method, the method includes contacting the adenocarcinoma cancer cells with 2-(2-propyl-3-(3-(2-ethyl-4-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-hydroxyphenoxy)propoxy)phenoxy)benzoic acid or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or congener thereof. Also disclosed are methods of treating adenocarcinomas in a subject. One method includes administering to the subject an amount of a compound effective to inhibit binding of leukotriene B4 to leukotriene B4 receptor. Another method includes administering 2-(2-propyl-3-(3-(2-ethyl-4-(4-fluoropheyl)-5-hydroxyphenoxy)propoxy)phenoxy)benzoic acid or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or congener thereof, to the subject.
The present disclosure provides carboxamides and sulfonamides having Formula (I): and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts and solvates thereof, wherein A, Y, B, X, and Z are defined as set forth in the specification. The present disclosure is also directed to the use of compounds of Formula (I) to treat a disorder responsive to the blockade of SMYD proteins such as SMYD3 or SMYD2. Compounds of the present disclosure are especially useful for treating cancer.
