, (2008/06/13)
Compounds having the formula or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof wherein R1 is (a) hydrogen, (b) loweralkyl, (c) alkenyl, (d) alkoxy, (e) thioalkoxy, (f) halo, (g) haloalkyl, (h) aryl-L2—, and (i) heterocyclic-L2—; R2 is selected from (a) (b) —C(O)NH—CH(R14)—C(O)OR15, (c) (d) —C(O)NH—CH(R14)—C(O)NHSO2R16 (e) —C(O)NH—CH(R14)-tetrazolyl, (f) —C(O)NH-heterocyclic, and (g) —C(O)NH—CH(R14)—C(O)NR17R18; R3 is heterocyclic, aryl, substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl; R4 is hydrogen, lower alkyl, haloalkyl, halogen, aryl, arylakyl, heterocyclic, or (heterocyclic)alkyl; L1 is absent or is selected from (a) —L4—N(R5)—L5—, (b) —L4—O—L5—, (c) —L4—S(O)n—L5— (d) —L4-L6—C(W)—N(R5)—L5—, (e) —L4-L6—S(O)m—N(R5)—L5—, (f) —L4—N(R5)—C(W)—L7-L5—, (g) —L4—N(R5)—S(O)p—L7—L5—, (h) optionally substituted alkylene, (i) optionally substituted alkenylene, and (j) optionally substituted alkynylene are inhibitors of protein isoprenyl transferases. Also disclosed are protein isoprenyl transferase inhibiting compositions and a method of inhibiting protein isoprenyl transferases.
