Farnesyltransferase inhibitors (FTIs) have emerged as a novel class of anticancer agents. Analogues of the potent FTI 4-[3-biphenyl-1-hydroxy-1-(3-methyl-3H-imidazol-4-yl)-prop-2-ynyl]-1-yl-benzonitrile, were synthesized and tested in vitro for their inhibitory activities. The most promising compound identified from this series is analogue 11 that possesses potent enzymatic and cellular activities. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
