Targeting the related GTPases Rac and Cdc42 that regulate cancer metastasis is a viable strategy to impede metastasis of solid cancers. Herein, we describe new Rac and Cdc42 inhibitors with unique mechanisms and varying potency in different cancer cell lines. The MBQ-167 derivatives MBQ-168 and EHop-097 show promise as potential antimetastatic cancer agents.
