Details
B581, Cys-psi(CH₂NH)-Val- psi[CH₂NH]-Phe-Met is a farnesyltransferase (FTase) inhibitor of special stability and membrane permeability. Due to its high selectivity, B581 is more than 30-fold more active against FTase (IC₅₀ = 21 nM in vitro) than against geranylgeranyltransferase (GGTase). Inhibitors of the farnesyltransferase are potential candidates for the development of anticancer drugs.
