The present invention relates to metabolites of tricyclic amides, and structurally related compounds, represented by the structural formula (I): and pharmaceutically acceptable isomers, salts, solvates or esters of the compound of formula (I), wherein: R1 is selected from the group consisting of H and ═O; R2-R5 can be the same or different, each being independently selected from the group consisting of H, —OH, halide, —NH2 and ═O; and, the combination solid-dashed lines independently represent either single bonds or double bonds, wherein the number of combination solid-dashed lines that are double bonds is not greater than 2, and when, the double bonds are not adjacent, and when 0, one of R1-R5 is not H. Also disclosed are methods of treatment of proliferative diseases and methods for inhibiting the abnormal growth of cells, and for inhibiting farnesyl protein transferase using the novel compounds.
