Aquaporin-1 (AQP1) dual water and ion channels enhance migration and invasion when upregulated in leading edges of certain classes of cancer cells. Work here identifies structurally related furan compounds as novel inhibitors of AQP1 ion channels. 5-Hydroxymethyl-2-furfural (5HMF), a component of

1. Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies in women worldwide. Metabolomics has been shown to be a promising strategy to elucidate the underlying pathogenesis of cancer and identify new targets for cancer diagnosis and therapy. Valproic acid (VPA), a histone deacetylase inhibitor, is a
