We describe a novel class of benzophenone-based farnesyltransferase inhibitors exploiting a novel aryl binding region in the farnesyltransferase's active site. The present study was mainly focussed on structural modifications of the trimethylene spacer of the 4-phenyl butyroyl residue of our lead structure (IC50 = 530 nM). These modifications turned out to have little effect on activity as had the replacement of the terminal aryl by cyclohexyl (IC50 = 440 nM vs. IC50 = 530 nM).

Investigations on the structure-activity relationships of benzophenone-based bisubstrate analogue farnesyltransferase inhibitors yielded a bisubstrate analogue farnesyltransferase inhibitor lacking any prenylic or peptidic substructures with nanomolar activity. This represents a considerable progress in comparison to those non-prenylic, non-peptidic bisubstrate analogue farnesyltransferase inhibitors we have described before which utilized AAX-peptidomimetic substructures different from the benzophenone since those inhibitors displayed activity only in the micromolar range.
