The invention relates to a method for evaluating a chemotherapeutic potential of a candidate molecule. In evaluating the candidate molecule, the candidate molecule is tested for its ability to inhibit the in vitro growth of a cancer cell; to bind a cellular receptor produced by a cancer cell, wherein said receptor, such as a peripheral benzodiazepine receptor, is produced in a greater amount by said cancer cell than by a normal cell; and to inhibit the activity of at least one protein member of the MAPK pathway. The invention further relates to dibenzodiazepinone analogues and derivatives thereof.
