FTI-2153 is a potent and highly selective farnesyltransferase (FTase) inhibitor (IC50: 1.4 nM). FTI-2153 is >3000-fold more potent at blocking H-Ras (IC50, 10 nM) than Rap1A processing.
BMS-214662 is a Farnesyltransferaseinhibitor , is also a nonsedating benzodiazepine derivative with potential antineoplastic activity. BMS-214662 inhibits the enzyme farnesyltransferase and the post-translational farnesylation of number of proteins involved in signal transduction, which may result in the inhibition of Ras function and apoptosis in susceptible tumor cells. This agent may reverse the malignant phenotype of H-Ras-transformed cells and has been shown to be active against tumor cells with and without Ras mutations.
FTI-2628 is a novel inhibitor of protein farnesyltransferase (FT), inhibiting the growth of P. falciparum in red blood cells and suppressing parasitemia.
BIM-46068 is a potent and specific inhibitor of human farnesyltransferase. In regard to a panel of cell lines, using the Compare analysis to determine the Pearson coefficient correlation, the anti-proliferative spectrum of BIM-46068 has been shown to be distinct from the profile of typical chemotherapeutic agents.
