This disclosure relates to compounds that inhibit glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) and/or NAD(P)H:quinone oxidore-ductase 1 (NQO1) for uses in treating cancer. In certain embodiments, this disclosure relates to compositions and uses of N-(thia-zol-2-yl)-carboxamide derivatives such as a N-(5-nitrothiazol-2-yl)-carboxamide derivatives for treating cancer such as glioblastoma. In certain embodiments, this disclosure relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a N-(thiazol-2-yl)-carboxamide derivative such as a N-(5-nitrothiazol-2-yl)-carboxamide derivative which is a compound of formula (I), or derivative, prodrug or salt thereof and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, wherein X, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, and R.sup.3 substituents are reported herein.

Compounds described herein may be used for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases linked to protein misfolding, including prion diseases, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease (PD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and also other neurodegenerative, degenerative, metabolic and ischemic conditions. Indeed, NAD metabolism impairment is also a critical feature in brain ischemia/reperfusion injury, Wallerian degeneration, kidney failure, multiple sclerosis, aging, and metabolic disorders such as diabetes mellitus. Therapies that elevate or stabilize NAD levels may thus have broad potential for treating many severely debilitating neurological and metabolic conditions. Evidence is provided herein with compounds from 8 lead series for NAD restoring properties and for therapeutic efficacy in cellular and/or animal models of prion disease, PD and ALS.

The present invention relates to a compound for use in a method of treating a pathological condition selected from polycystic kidney disease, polycystic liver disease, and a combination thereof. The present invention further relates to a composition for use in a method of treating a pathological condition selected from polycystic kidney disease, polycystic liver disease, and a combination thereof.
