Methods and compositions related to the selective, specific disruption of multiple ligand-receptor signaling interactions, such as ligand-receptor interactions implicated in disease, are disclosed. These interactions may involve multiple cytokines in a single receptor family or multiple ligand receptor interactions from at least two distinct ligand-receptor families. The compositions may comprise polypeptides having composite sequences that comprise sequence fragments of two or more ligand binding sites. The methods and compositions may involve sequence fragments of two or more ligand binding sites that are arranged to conserve the secondary structure of each of the ligands from which the sequence fragments were taken.

The invention provides compounds effective as inhibitors of monocarboxylate transporters such as MCT1 and MCT4, which can be used for treatment of medical conditions wherein treatment of the condition with a compound having an inhibitor effect on MCT1, MCT4, or both is medically indicated. Compounds of the invention can have antitumor, antidiabetes, anti-inflammatory, or immunosuppressive pharmacological effects, and can be effective for treatment of cancer and of type II diabetes.
