With advances in modern technologies and growing understanding of cellular biology, a variety of new mechanisms and molecular antagonists are currently being pursued in the fight against cancer. The result of these advances has spawned dozens of new exciting small molecule agents which are slowly progressing through the arduous process of clinical trials. We attempt in this review to highlight some of the new and exciting molecules representing previously unexplored targets. While it is by no means certain that novelty in a molecular target assures that it is a good one, our reading of the current literature would suggest that the seven molecules discussed in this review represent potentially new therapies which may add to the much needed armamentarium of cancer drugs (Figure 1).
