Abstract
3-Diarylmethylenes are disclosed. The compounds activate PP2A, suppress oncogenic kinase signaling, and negatively regulate MYC and MYCN in cancer. The compounds also induce FOXO transcription factor translocation to the nucleus by modulating PP2A and, as a consequence, exhibit anti-proliferative effects. They are useful in the treatment of a variety of disorders, including as a monotherapy in cancer treatment, or used in combination with other drugs to restore sensitivity to chemotherapy where resistance has developed.
