Abstract

Farnesylation of the ras oncogene product by Farnesyl Transferase (FTase) is known to be a critical step in cell transformation leading to uncontrolled proliferation. The peptide CysValTicMet is a potent FTase inhibitor, but its degradation by amino-peptidases and its only weak internalization into cells make it a bad candidate for a future cancer drug. We have prepared improved CysValTicMet analogues using several approaches:(i) amino ...
