Abstract

Farnesyltransferase inhibitors (FTIs) have emerged as a novel class of anti-cancer agents. Analogs of the potent FTI, 1-benzyl-5-(3-biphenyl-2-yl-propyl)-1H-imidazole, were synthesized and tested in vitro for their inhibitory activities. The most promising compound identified from this series is analog 29 that possesses potent enzymatic and cellular activities.
