The invention provides methods and pharmaceutical compositions that can treat autoimmune disease by reducing the production of pyrophosphate intermediates produced during the biosynthesis of isoprenoids. The pyrophosphate compounds being inhibited are normally produced through the mevalonate and non-mevalonate pathways of the host vertebrate organisms and their symbiotic and pathogenic microorganisms. The methods involve administering to a patient an inhibitor of the mevalonate-dependent pathway, an inhibitor of the non-mevalonate pathway, or combination of such inhibitors.

This invention provides methods and pharmaceutical compositions that can treat neuroinflammatory disease by reducing the production of pyrophosphate intermediates produced during the biosynthesis of isoprenoids. The pyrophosphate compounds being inhibited are normally produced through the mevalonate and non-mevalonate pathways of the host vertebrate organisms and their symbiotic and pathogenic microorganisms. The methods involve administering to a patient an inhibitor of the mevalonate-dependent pathway, an inhibitor of the non-mevalonate pathway, or combination of such inhibitors.
Discovery of a New Class of Protein Farnesyltransferase Inhibitors in the Arylthiophene Series
Screening of the ICSN chemical library led to the discovery of 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-cyano-5-thioalkylthiophene 2-carboxylic acids as potentfarnesyltransferaseinhibitors. Enzymatic kinetic studies showed that this original FTI series belongs to the CaaX competitive inhibitorclass. Preliminary SAR studies allowed us to improve the IC50 from 110 to 7.5 nM.
