Preussomerins and Deoxypreussomerins: Novel Inhibitors of Ras Farnesyl-Protein Transferase
摘要:
Farnesylation of Ras (p21) by farnesyl-protein transferase (FPTase) precedes association of Ras with the plasma membrane which is essential for Ras-mediated cell-transforming activity. Our continuing search for FPTase inhibitors led us to isolate a number of novel preussomerins and deoxypreussomerins from the extracts of a dung-inhabiting coelomycetous fungus from Chaco Province, Argentina. Isolation, structure elucidation, chemistry, and structure-activity relationships of the natural products and derivatives have been described.
