A series of compounds based on the carboxyl-terminal CAAL sequence of PGGTase-I substrates was designed and synthesized. Using piperazin-2-one as a semi-rigid scaffold, we have introduced critical pharmacophores in a well-defined arrangement to mimic the CAAL sequence. High potency and exceptional selectivity were obtained for inhibition of PGGTase-I with structures such as 45 and 70. Potency of this series of GGTIs was dependent on the presence of an l-leucine residue with a free carboxyl terminus, as well as an S configuration of the 3-aryl group. The selectivity was significantly enhanced by 5-methyl substitution on the imidazole ring and fluorine substitution on the 3-aryl group. Modification of the 6-position of the piperazinone scaffold was found to be unfavorable. Compounds 44 and 69, the corresponding methyl esters of 45 and 70, were found to selectively block processing of Rap1A by PGGTase-I in whole cells with IC50 values of 0.4 M and 0.7 M respectively.

New substituted 1H-imidazoles and their salts, processes for the preparation thereof and pharmaceutical compositions. These compounds have the formula STR1 wherein R1, R2, R3 and R5 =hydrogen or C1 -C4 -alkyl; R4 =hydrogen, C1 -C4 -alkyl or C1 -C4 -alkoxy; Y1 =hydrogen and Y2 =OZ2 or the reverse; Z1 =Z2 =hydrogen or C1 -C4 -alkyl or Z1 and Z2 =--CH2 -- or --C(CH3)2 --. These compounds are prepared either by reducing a corresponding imidazole compound having a hydroxyl or alkoxy group on the methyl bridge between the imidazole and phenyl rings, or by hydrolyzing a 4-[[2,2-dimethyl-4H-1,3-benzodioxin-6(or 8)-yl]methyl]-1H-imidazole, or yet by reducing an alkyl 3-[(1H-imidazol-4-yl)methyl]-2-hydroxybenzoate. These compounds have cardiac, cerebral and tissular anti-ischemic activities.
