The invention provides potent inhibitors of small molecule inhibitors of Krüppel-like factor 5 (KLF5) expression. Compounds of the invention are small molecule inhibitors of KLF5 expression which can be effective delay or prevent colon cancer onset, halt growth of existing tumors, and/or decrease reoccurrence. The compounds can be effective vs. many tumor types whose progression is in part mediated by KLF5, including colorectal cancers. Lowering KLF5 levels with an inhibitor of this invention may also impact other disease states, including diabetes, obesity, lipid homeostasis, cardiovascular disease, and arthritis.
