An alanine conjugate of a Candida albicans geranylgeranyl transferase I inhibitor was synthesized to facilitate its uptake into the fungal cell. The antifungal activity of CaGGTase-Ala conjugate is demonstrated. It is also shown that the CaGGTase-Ala conjugate affects prenylation of endogenous Rho1p, but has no effect on prenylation of endogenous Ras1p. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
