Lonidamine derivatives can be useful in methods of treating, inhibiting, and/or preventing polycystic kidney disease (PKD). Accordingly, lonidamine derivatives can be administered in a therapeutically effective amount for inhibiting, and/or preventing polycystic kidney disease (PKD) in the subject. This can include administering a therapeutically effective amount of the lonidamine derivatives for inhibiting CFTR and/or Hsp90 or biological pathway thereof. Also, the method can include administering the lonidamine derivatives in a therapeutically effective amount for inhibiting ErbB2, Src, Raf-1, B-Raf, MEK, Cdk4, NKCC1, or combinations thereof. For example, the therapeutically effective amount of the lonidamine derivatives can be configured so as to provide a concentration in or adjacent to a kidney cell of about 0.25 uM or more or less. |
