A class of compounds useful in pharmaceutical compositions and methods for treating or preventing cancer is described. Analogs of Mycalolide B have been prepared and tested in breast and ovarian cancer cell lines. The compounds show utility for inhibition of survival and proliferation of tumor cells. The compounds have been shown to disrupt actin.

Provided herein are novel lipase inhibitors and methods for using the same to treat inflammation, multisystem organ failure, necrotic pancreatic acinar cell death, acute pancreatitis, sepsis (e.g., culture negative sepsis), burns, and acne. For example, provided herein are two novel lipase inhibitors useful in the methods described herein: ##STR00001##
or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
