Definitions
- Patent application WO 95/00497 published 5 January 1995 under the Patent Cooperation Treaty describes compounds which inhibit the enzyme, farnesyl-protein transferase (FTase) and the famesylation of the oncogene protein Ras.
- Oncogenes frequently encode protein components of signal transduction pathways which lead to stimulation of cell growth and mitogenesis.
- Oncogene expression in cultured cells leads to cellular transformation, characterized by the ability of cells to grow in soft agar and the growth of cells as dense foci lacking the contact inhibition exhibited by non- transformed cells. Mutation and/or overexpression of certain oncogenes is frequently associated with human cancer.
- Ras oncoprotein To acquire transforming potential, the precursor of the Ras oncoprotein must undergo famesylation of the cysteine residue located in a carboxyl- terminal tetrapeptide.
- Inhibitors of the enzyme that catalyzes this modification, farnesyl protein transferase have therefore been suggested as anticancer agents for tumors in which Ras contributes to transformation. Mutated, oncogenic forms of Ras are frequently found in many human cancers, most notably in more than 50% of colon and pancreatic carcinomas (Kohl et al., Science, Vol. 260, 1834 to 1837, 1993).

- This invention provides a method for inhibiting the abnormal growth of cells, including transformed cells, by administering an effective amount of a compound of this invention.
