Compounds, pharmaceutical compositions including the compounds, and methods of preparation and use thereof are disclosed. The compounds are hexafluoro-honokiol analogs. The compounds and compositions can be used to treat and/or prevent a wide variety of cancers, including drug resistant cancers. Representative hexafluoro-honokiol analogs include hexafluoro-honokiol, analogs in which one or both hydroxy groups are replaced with dichloroacetate esters, and analogs with increased fluorination. The compounds are believed to function, at least, by inhibiting angiogenesis and/or inducing apoptosis. Thus, the compounds are novel therapeutic agents for a variety of cancers.

Bis-trifluoromethyl honokiol analogs and their use in treating cancers

The invention comprises the administration of an amount of honokiol (HNK) and Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP) or similar pectin or alginate in amounts synergistic to inhibit cancer. The inhibition can be of the formation of cancer, the progression of a cancer already formed, or the transformation of a primary cancer to a metastatic one. HNK and MCP appear to be synergistic across their effective ranges, and the synergy may be due in part to the binding of galectin-3 on the surface of tumor cells by MCP, which better presents the cell for the cytotoxic effects of HNK. Compositions of matter which combine the two agents, HNK and MCP, in synergistic amounts intended for daily administration are also contemplated. The administration of MCP and HNK may be combined with the administration of conventional anti-cancer therapeutics.
