Disclosed herein are compounds of Structural Formula I. Compounds of Structural Formula I inhibit aldehyde dehydrogenase isoform Ia3 (ALDHIa3) and are useful for treating cancer, for example, metastatic or chemoresistant cancer, such as metastatic cancer resistant to chemotherapy. Also disclosed herein are compositions comprising compounds of Structural Formula I and uses of compounds of Structural Formula I for treating cancer, for example, metastatic or chemoresistant cancer.

Tetrahydroquinolino derivatives for the treatment of metastatic and chemoresistant cancers

Provided herein are novel heterocyclic compounds, for example, compounds of Formula (IV-C). Also provided herein are pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds and methods of using the same, for example, in inhibiting aldehyde dehydrogenases, retinoid pathway activation, and/or for treating various cancers, cancer metastasis, type 2 diabetes, pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) or neointimal hyperplasia (NIH) or as a male contraceptive.

Substituted heterocycles as aldehyde dehydrogenase inhibitors

The present disclosure related in general to methods of treating cancer by interfering with the interaction of metadherin with Staphylococcal nuclease domain-containing 1 (SND1) using peptides or other compounds that inhibit the binding of SND1 with metadherin and inhibit the activity of the MTDH-SND1 complex in tumor cells.

Use of peptides that block metadherin-SND1 interaction as treatment for cancer

The present invention relates generally to methods for identifying cancer patients with a poor prognosis, and to therapeutic modalities for improving prognosis by combating metastasis and abrogating chemoresistance in cancer cells. Embodiments of the present invention provide an objective means of prognostication regarding the long-term outcome of an incident of cancer, breast cancer in particular. Therapeutic modalities include immunotherapy and anti-sense therapy. Prognosis is determined by measuring the number of copies of the metadherin gene in the patient's cells.
