Abstract: Provided are carbazole and carbazole-like compounds (e.g., pyridoindole and pyrrolodipyridine compounds. The compounds can be used to selectively kill cancer cells. Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most frequent neoplastic disease and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men, claiming more than 30,000 men each year in the United States alone. PCa tumors are composed primarily of prostate luminal epithelial cells. Differentiation of prostate luminal epithelial cells is controlled in part by Androgen receptor (AR) driven expression of prostate-specific markers.

Abstract: Provided are carbazole and carbazole-like compounds (e.g., pyridoindole and pyrrolodipyridine) compounds, that can be used to selectively kill cancer cells, specifically androgen-receptor expressing prostate cancer cells. Also provided is a method of treating AR-positive prostate cancer in a subject diagnosed with or suspected of having AR positive or negative cancer, comprising administering an effective amount of a carbazole and carbazole-like compound to said subject.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the treatment of breast cancer which is estrogen receptor positive (ER+) and/or human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 positive (HER2) and/or progesterone receptor positive (PR) and/or facilitates chromatin transcription positive (FACT+) with a curaxin, including curaxin 137. The present invention also pertains to a method of identifying a subject who has a breast cancer tumor and is likely to respond to treatment with a curaxin.
