Peptide inhibitors of farnesyl-protein transferase

摘要

The present invention is directed to tetrapeptides which inhibit farnesyl-protein transferase (FPTase) and the farnesylation of the oncogene protein Ras. The invention is further directed to a method of treating cancer with tetrapeptide inhibitors of farnesyl protein transferase, as well as pharmaceutical formulations useful for this method of treatment.
