The present invention provides compounds having the formula: wherein n is 0 or 1; R is —NH2 or wherein R1 and R2 are independently selected from the group consisting of H, alkyl, aralkyl, heteroaralkyl, carboxy, carboxyalkyl, and carbamoyl; Q is R3C(O)— or wherein R5 is selected from the group consisting of H, alkyl, aralkyl, heteroaralkyl, and carbamoylalkyl, and R3 and R4 are selected from the group consisting of H, alkyl, alkoxy, arylalkoxy, aralkyl, heteroaralkyl, and carbamoylalkyl; the Q—NH—(CH2)n— and the —C(O)R substituents of the compound of formula I are independently positioned ortho, meta, orpara relative to the carbon atoms that form the bond between the two phenyl groups to which said substituents are bound, with the proviso that said substituents are not both positioned ortho; and the Q—NH—(CH2)n and the —C(O)R substituents of the compound of formula II are positioned meta orpara to each other; or a biolabile ester thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The compounds are useful for treating uPA- or uPAR-mediated disorders, e.g., tumor metastasis, tumor angiogenesis, restenosis, chronic inflammation, or corneal angiogenesis.
