Abstract

The present invention provides synthesis, pharmaceutically acceptable formulations and uses of compounds in accordance with Formula I, or a stereoisomer, tautomer or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. For Formula I compounds X, Y, R1, R2, R3a, R3b, R4a, R4b and R5 are as defined in the specification. The inventive Formula I compounds are inhibitors of eIF4A and find utility in any number of therapeutic applications, including but not limited to treatment of inflammation and various cancers.
