The methanolic extract of the aerial parts of Persicaria thunbergii was found to show inhibitory activity on Farnesyl Protein Transferase (FPTase). Bioassay-guided fractionation of the methanolic extract resulted in the isolation of isorhamnetin, as an inhibitor on FPTase. This compound inhibited FPTase activity in a dose-dependent manner, and the $IC_{50}$ value of isorhamnetin was $37.5\;{\mu}M$.

The methanolic extract of the aerial parts of Centipeda minima was found to show inhibitory activity on farnesyl protein transferase (FPTase). Bioassay-guided fractionation of the methanolic extract resulted in the isolation of 6-O-angeloylprenolin, as an inhibitor on FPTase. This compound inhibited FPTase activity in a dose-dependent manner, and the $IC_{50}$ value of 6-O-angeloylprenolin was 18.8 ${\mu}M$.

The methanolic extract of the roots of Lithospermum erythrorhizon (Boraginaceae) was found to show inhibitory activity towards farnesyl protein transferase (FPTase). Bioassay-guided fractionation of the methanolic extract resulted in the isolation of three naphthoquinone compounds, as inhibitors of FPTase. These compounds inhibited the FPTase activity in a dose-dependent manner.

The purpose of this research is to study of inhibitory activity of protostane type triterpens against farnesyl-protein transferase (FPTase). The ingredients of Alismatis Rhizoma, alisol B 23-acetate, C 23-acetate, alisols B and A 24-acetate, and thirteen synthetic analogues from alisol B 23-acetate exhibited inhibition activity against FPTase by scintillation proximity assay method. As a result, alisol C 23-acetate, one of the constituents of Alismatis Rhizoma, the synthetic analogues carboxylated and hydroxylated on branch chain of protostane exhibited a significant inhibitory activity. However, the compounds significantly lowered the inhibitory activity, when there is no 3 position keto on protostane skeletone.

Diarylheptanoids [curcumin (1), demethoxycurcumin (2), bisdemethoxycurcumin (3), bisdimethoxymethylcurcumin (4), and 1,2-dihydrobis(de-O-methyl)curcumin (5)] were isolated from the methanolic extract of Curcuma longa L. and A new cyclic diarylheptanoiid (6) and a known compound 7 were isolated from fruits of Alnus japonica S. Diarylheptanoids (1-3) inhibited farnesyl protein transferase (FTPase) with an IC50 of 29-50 $\mu\textrm{m}$. (omitted)

Ras 유전자는 30%의 인간암에서 변이가 발견되며 세 종류의 isoform, H-Ras, K-Ras 및 N-Ras로 구성되어 있다. Ras 단백질의 CAAX motif에 farnesylation과 같은 번역 후 변형은 Ras의 활성에 필수 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 새로운 farnesyl transferase 억제제인 YH3938과 YH3945의 발암원성 H-Ras, K-Ras 및 N-Ras의 작용에 대한 영향을 조사하였다. YH3938과 YH3945는 발암원성 H-Ras에 의해 형질전환된 Rat2 세포의 증식과 형태 변화를 억제하였으나 K-Ras에 대해서는 효과가 없었다. N-Ras에 대해서는 약한 영향이 있었다. H-Ras와 N-Ras에 의한 SRE promoter 활성화는 YH3938과 YH3945에 의해 억제되었으나, K-Ras에는 영향이 없었다. Ras 단백질의 bandshift 분석을 통해 YH3938은 H-Ras와 N-Ras의 번역 후 변환을 억제하였으나, K-Ras에는 영향이 없었다. YH3945는 H-Ras의 변환에만 영향이 있었다. 결론적으로 YH3938과 YH3945는 H-Ras의 farnesylation을 억제하여 그 발암원성을 억제하며, YH3938은 N-Ras 작용을 농도의존적으로 억제하며, K-ras에 대해서는 영향이 없음을 알 수 있었다.

일련의 헤테로 고리 치환(X) chalcone 유도체들에 의한 farnesyl protein transferase(FPTase) 저해활성을 측정하여 분자내 styryl group의 치환기(Y) 변화에 따른 정량적인 구조와 FPTase 저해 활성과의 관계(QSARs)를 modified Free-Wilson(F-W)방법 및 Hansch 방법으로 분석 검토하였다. F-W 분석에 따르면 (X)-치환기는 FPTase 저해 활성에 기여하지 않았다 그러나 (Y)-치환기들은 ortho>meta>para 치환체의 순서로 ortho-치환체와 ${\alpha}$탄소의 알짜 전하$(C_{\alpha})$가 활성에 기여하였다. 모든 헤테로 고리 치환체에 대한 Hansch 분석에 의하면 전자 밀게(R<0)의 폭$(B_1)$이 작은 ortho-치환체로서 적정값, $(R)_{opt.}=-0.35$를 갖는 공명상수가 저해활성에 영향을 미친다는 사실을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 헤테로 치환체들 사이의 FPTase 저해활성은 모두 비례관계를 보임으로써 같은 경향으로 저해활성이 발현되었으며 비(H)치환체 45가 제일 높은 FPTase 저해활성$(pI_{50}=4.30)$을 보였다.

Famesyl protein transferase involved in the first step of post-translational modification of $p21^{ras}$ proteins transfers the famesyl moiety from famesyl pyrophosphate to a cysteine residue in $p21^{ras}$ proteins. The enzyme was first purified 30,000-fold from bovine testis by use of 30~50% ammonium sulfate fractionation, DEAE-Sephacel ion exchange chromatography, Sephacryl S-300 gel filtration chromatography, Sephacryl S-200 gel filtration chromatography, and hexapeptide (Lys-Lys-Cys-Val-Ile-Met) affinity chromatography. The molecular weight of the purified enzyme was estimated to be ~100 kDa by gel filtration and SDS-polyacrylamide gels showed two closely spaced bands of ~50 kDa protein. These indicate that the enzyme consists of two nonidentical subunits, a and 13, which have slightly different molecular weights. The enzyme was inhibited by hexapeptide (Lys-Lys-Cys-Val-Ile-Met), which acted as an alternative substrate that competed for famesylation. Kinetic analysis by measuring initial velocities showed that famesyl protein transferase is a very slow enzyme. EDTA-treated famesyl protein transferase showed little activity with $Mg^{2+}$ or $Zn^{2+}$ alone, but required both $Mg^{2+}$ and $Zn^{2+}$ for the catalytic activity.

Farnesyl Protein Transferase (FPTase) catalyses a post-translational modification of Ras that is obligatory for the cell transforming activity of this oncogene protein. The screening of natural products to identify inhibitors of this enzyme as a potential anticancer agents, has led to the isolation of a novel lactone, from the hydroid Solanderia secunda. Solandelactone G has been isolated from the hydroid Solanderia secunda collected along the offshore of Jaejudo and Keomunde. The structure of the compound has been determined as cyclopropane containing C$\_$22/ fatty acid lactone on the basis of the combined spectral and chemical methods
