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.
本发明提供了诱导细胞死亡的材料和方法,其中包括methuosis(非凋亡性细胞死亡机制)诱导空泡化而不死亡的方法,或诱导细胞死亡而不产生空泡化的方法。本发明中的小分子可用于治疗细胞增殖异常或疾病,尤其是癌症。本发明还提供了与小分子相关的研究和药物使用方法。
