摘要

This invention relates to a method of using novel 5-(arylsulfonyl)-,5-(arylsulfinyl), and 5-(arylsulfanyl)-thiazolidine-2,4-diones of Formula (I), wherein Ar, Ar', R6, m and n are as defined in the specification as inhibitors of Ras FPTase, and may be used as an alternative to, or in conjunction with, traditional cancer therapy for treating ras-oncogene-dependent tumors, such as cancers of the pancreas, colon, bladder, and thyroid.
