This invention relates to novel benzofuran compounds of the formula [I], wherein R1 and R2 are as defined in the claims and description, as well as pharmaceutically acceptable salts or solvates thereof, and to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds and to processes for their preparation. The compounds have antitumor activity and are useful for the treatment of cancer.
A series of benzofuran-based farnesyltransferase inhibitors have been designed and synthesized as antitumor agents. Among them, 11f showed the most potent enzyme inhibitory activity (IC50 = 1.1 nM) and antitumor activity in human cancer xenografts in mice. (C) 2009 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
