The invention also provides a method for treating types of hematopoietic cancers, such as B-cell lymphoma, using a combination of one or more disclosed compounds in combination with other therapies, for example, 26S proteosome inhibitors, such as, for example, Bortezomib. The invention also relates to autoimmune treatment with pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more disclosed compounds. The invention also relates to methods for identifying compounds, for example, compounds of the BH3 mimic class, that have unique in vitro properties that predict in vivo efficacy against B-cell lymphoma tumors and other cancers as well as autoimmune disease.
