Abstract: Compounds and methods suppressing aromatase activity expression in cancer cells. Provided are compounds are those of formula I: wherein R1 may be alkyl, cycloalkyl, haloalkyl, aryl, substituted aryl, haloaryl, alkoxy, alkylaryl, and arylalkyl; R2 is H, alkyl, aryl, alkylaryl, arylalkyl, and cycloalkyl; R3, with the base nitrogen, forms an amide or sulfonamide; R4 is selected from nitro, amine, amide, and benzamide; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof Also provided are small molecule selective aromatase inhibitors having a molecular weight of less 500 g/mol. In some embodiments, the small molecule selective aromatase inhibitors described herein have a molecular weight of less than 450 g/mol. Also provided are methods for suppressing aromatase activity expression in cancer cells comprising the step of administering a pharmaceutically effective amount of a small molecule aromatase inhibitor to a subject in need of such treatment. In one embodiment, the cancer cells are breast cancer cells.

Abstract: Compounds and methods for treating, inhibiting, or delaying the onset of cancer in a subject by administering a therapeutically effective amount of a keratinocyte growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase (KGFR TK) inhibitor to the subject in need of such treatment. Also provided are compounds and methods for the treating, inhibiting, or delaying the onset of metastasis in a subject with cancer by administering a therapeutically effective amount of a KGFR TK inhibitor to the subject in need of such treatment.

Abstract: The present invention provides 2-heterosubstituted 3-aryl-4H-benzopyran-4-one compounds for the treatment of cancers, namely breast cancer. This invention further provides a method of synthesis of 2-(alkylthio)isoflavones that can be carried out at ambient conditions. This invention further provides a method of synthesis of the 2-heterosubstituted 3-aryl-4H-benzopyran-4-one from a 2-(alkylthio)isoflavone. The invention further provides methods of using the 2-heterosubstituted 3-aryl-4H-benzopyran-4-one compounds for the treatment of breast cancer in mammals.
