5. A pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound according to claim 1 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

6. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 5 , further comprising at least one other anti-cancer agent in addition to the compound of Formula II.

7. The compound of claim 1 , wherein said compound has the formula (VII):

wherein

Z is CH or N;

A is substituted or unsubstituted phenyl; substituted or unsubstituted indolyl; or substituted or unsubstituted indazolyl;

wherein the optional substituents of A are selected from the group consisting of O-alkyl, O-haloalkyl, F, Cl, Br, I, NO 2 , haloalkyl, CF 3 , CN, —CH 2 CN, NH 2 , hydroxyl, —(CH 2 ) i NHCH 3 , —(CH 2 ) i NH 2 , —(CH 2 ) i N(CH 3 ) 2 , —OC(O)CF 3 , —SO 2 -aryl, C 1 -C 5 linear or branched alkyl, haloalkyl, alkylamino, aminoalkyl, —OCH 2 Ph, —NHCO-alkyl, COOH, —C(O)Ph, C(O)O-alkyl, C(O)H, —C(O)NH 2 and combinations thereof;
