Synthesis and evaluation of 3- and 7-substituted geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate analogs
摘要:
Protein prenyl transferases have been a focus of anti-cancer drug discovery in recent years due to their roles in post-translational modi. cation of small GTP binding proteins. Attention is now turning to the development of GGTase I inhibitors. Here, we present the synthesis and biological evaluation of four GGPP analogs versus mammalian GGTase I and the discovery that 7-allyl GGPP is a surprisingly efficient GGTase I substrate.
