Abstract: The invention provides compounds of formulae A, B, and C as described herein that inhibit monocarboxylate transporters, such as MCT1 and MCT4. Compounds of the invention can be used for treatment of a condition in a patient, wherein the condition is characterized by the heightened activity or by the high prevalence of MCT1 and/or MCT4, such as cancer or type II diabetes.

Abstract: A modular stand apparatus offers safe and effective setup of laboratory experiments. The apparatus allows a user to couple vertical rods to a first plate. A second plate, parallel to the first plate and vertically translating up and down the vertical rods, permits the user of any height to utilize the apparatus and the placement of an extraneous rigging such as jack, scale, etc. A plurality of horizontal rods including hypotenuse and adjacent rods detachably couples with the vertical rods and permits the placement of extraneous rigging. The horizontal rods replace monkey bars in conventional systems so that the user does not have to lean or stretch hands/arms inside a fume hood, thus eliminating potential unsafe operations and/or physical injuries. Due to the use of a larger and more stable surface of the second plate over the extraneous rigging, the apparatus eliminates possible toppling over and/or system collapsing.
