The present invention comprises peptidomimetic compounds which comprise a suitably substituted aminoalkylbenzamide moiety. The instant compounds inhibit the farnesyl protein transferase enzyme and the farnesylation of certain proteins. Furthermore, the instant farnesyl protein transferase inhibitors differ from those previously described as inhibitors of farnesyl-protein transferase in that they do not have a thiol moiety. The lack of the thiol offers unique advantages in terms of improved pharmacokinetic behavior in animals, prevention of thiol-dependent chemical reactions, such as rapid autoxidation and disulfide formation with endogenous thiols, and reduced systemic toxicity. Further contained in this invention are chemotherapeutic compositions containing these farnesyl transferase inhibitors and methods for their production.
L'invention porte sur des composés peptidomimétiques comportant une fraction aminoalkylbenzamide adéquatement substituée. Ces composés instantanés inhibent la farnésyl-protéine transférase et la farnésylation de certaines protéines. De plus, ces inhibiteurs instantanés de farnésyl-protéine transférase différent de ceux préalablement décrits en ce qu'ils ne présentent pas de fraction thiol. Cette absence de thiol offre des avantages uniques en terme de comportement pharacocinétique amélioré chez l'animal, de prévention des réactions chimiques liées au thiol telles que la rapidité d'auto-oxydation ou la formation de disulfures avec des thiols endogènes, et une toxicité systémique réduite. L'invention porte également sur des compositions chimiothérapeutiques contenant lesdits inhibiteurs de farnésyl-protéine transférase et leurs procédés de production.
