| 摘要 |
The compounds disclosed am analogs of the CAAX motif of proteins that can be modified by geranylgeranylation in vivo that selectively inhibit the geranylgeranylation of several proteins. The relatively poor activity of the compounds against the farnesyl protein transferase, which modifies several proteins important in cellular replication, allows the use of the compounds of the instant invention to treat diseases which which am regulated by the function of a geranylgeranylated protein, such as certain cancers and inflammatory diseases. Further contained in this invention are chemotherapeutic compositions containing these geranylgeranyl protein transfcrase type I inhibitors and methods for their production. |
