Abstract: Disclosed are compositions and methods for inhibiting aldehyde dehydrogenases. In further aspects, treatment of cancers by inhibiting aldehyde dehydrogenases with the disclosed compositions are also disclosed.

Abstract: According to aspects of the present disclosure, methods and compositions are provided which relate to treating cancer in a subject in need thereof, including: administering 1) an anti-cancer immune therapeutic agent, and 2) a stimulator of p53 levels and/or p53 activity, as a combination formulation or separately, thereby increasing levels and/or activity of p53, and activating NK cell activity in the cancer, providing therapeutic benefits, converting a “cold tumor” into a “hot tumor” leading to a TME responsive to immunotherapy via tumor cell recognition and killing that is not dependent on T-cell mediated immunity.

Abstract: Disclosed are compositions and methods for inhibiting aldehyde dehydrogenases. In further aspects, treatment of cancers by inhibiting aldehyde dehydrogenases with the disclosed compositions are also disclosed.

Abstract: Compositions and methods continue to be required for treatment of cancer. Compositions and methods according to aspects of the present invention relate to inhibition of a combination of kinases for treatment of cancer, specifically inhibition of both AKT and WEE1 kinases for treatment of cancer in a human subject. Synergistic effects of combination compositions and treatments including administration of an AKT inhibitor and a WEE1 inhibitor are unexpectedly found as described herein.
