My wife, Juan Zhou, has shown a great deal of patience and personal support through difficult times. Professor Qing-Xiang Amy Sang has provided outstanding scientific guidance and truly developed my interest in cancer research and cardiovascular disease research. A special thanks is given to Drs. Martin Schwartz, Yonghao Jin and Wei Yang for the many discussions about inhibitor interactions the synthesis and modeling of the compounds. I especially thank Mark Dru Roycik for his help on English writing and organizing through the past years and Douglas R. Hurst, Robert Newcomer and Seakoo Lee for their expert guidance throughout my training. I thank the Sang lab members, Chi Ben, Manuel H. Constantino, Suzan Semaan, Dale B. Bosco, Zahraa Khamis, Paul Steward, and other members for their numerous scientific discussions and helps. Last but not least, I would like to thank my family and my friend, Qin Li, for their love and support. Without them, I would not have been able to finish the dissertation on time. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS List of Tables .................................................................................. vii List of Figures ............................................................................... viii List of Abbreviations .................................................................... x Abstract ..................................................................................... xii 1.
