Farnesylation of Ras and other proteins is required for their membrane attachment and normal function. Here we report on the synthesis of α-cyanocinnamide derivatives, a new family of farnesyltransferase inhibitors. These compounds are nonpeptidic and do not contain sulfhydryl groups. The most potent compound is a pure competitive inhibitor with respect to the Ras protein and mixed competitive with respect to farnesyl diphosphate. Selectivity studies against geranylgeranyltransferase and biological activities of selected compounds are described. Copyright (C) 1999.

Novel compounds belonging to the class of 1-substituted benzylpyrid-2-one-4,6-dialkyl and 4,5,6-trisubstituted-3-carboxylic acids, amides, esters and physiologically acceptable salts. These compounds possess biological activity and in particular are gametocides and plant growth regulators. Novel 1-substituted benzyl-3-cyano-4,5,6-trisubstituted pyrid-2-ones are also disclosed as intermediates.
