Various cinnamaldehyde derivatives were synthesized and their inhibition activity $(pI_{50})$ of farnesyl protein transferase (FPTase) was measured to examine the structure-activity relationships (SAR) on the basis that FPTase was inhibited by ortho-hydroxycinnamaldehyde derived from extracts of the bark of Cinnamomum cassia Blume. The ortho-substituents on the phenyl backbone of cinnamaldehyde showed higher activity than those with meta- and para-substituents, and the side chain required unsaturated aldehyde. In particular, 2-chlorocinnamaldehyde, 5 showed the highest inhibition activity on the FPTase among them and its inhibition activity $(pI_{50})$ value was 4.45.

Chalcones 유도체들을 합성하고 farnesyl protein transferase(FPTase) 저해활성을 측정하여, 기질분자의 치환기 변화에 따른 구조와 활성과의관계(SAR)를 Free-Wilson법과 Hansch법으로 검토하였다. Benzoyl group 중 X-치환기가 styryl중 Y-치환기보다 활성에 더욱 큰 영향을 미쳤으며 meta- > ortho-, para-치환기의 순으로 활성을 나타내었다. 또한, X및 Y-치환기의 소수성이 적정값$(({\Sigma}logP)_{opt}\;=\;3.915)$에 근접할수록 활성이 증가 하였으며, X-치환기의 입체효과와(Es > O) 전자밀게 Y-치환기에 의한 공명효과(R < O)가 활성에 미치는 중요한 요소로 인식되었다. 다루어진 화합물중에서 비 치환체, 8은 가장 높은 FPTase저해활성$(pl_{50}\;=\;4.30)$을 나타내었다. 그리고 기질 수용체간의 상호작용을 가정하여 제안하였다.

Ras proteins play an important role in intracellular signal transduction pathways involved in cell growth and the mutated twas genes have been found in thirty percent of human cancers. Ras proteins (H-, K- and N-Ras) are small guanine nucleotide binding proteins that undergo a series of posttranslational modifications including the farnesylation onto cysteine 186 at C-terminal of Ras by farnesyl protein transferase (FPTase). This is a mandatory process for retention of transforming ability. Therefore, inhibitors of FPTase have a promising to be effective antitumor agents. In our screening program for FPTase inhibitors, the methanol extracts of 193 plants were screened for the inhibitory activity against FPTase partially purified from the rat brain. Extracts of 7species plants including Areca catechu, Saururus chinensis, Curcuma longa, Artemisa princeps, Paeonia suffruticosa, Spatholobus suberectus, Cinnamomum cassia, Cinnamomum japonicum inhibited more than 60% of FPTase activity at a concentration of $100\;{\mu}g/ml$.

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.

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.

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 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.

Phenylglyoxal diethyl pyrocarbonate (DEPC), and 1-cyclohexyl-3-[2-morpholinoethyl]-carbodiimide metho-p-toluenesulfonate (CMC) are modifying reagents specific for arginine, histidine, and aspartate or glutamate, respectively. They were found to inactivate S. cerevisiae farnesyl protein transferase (FPTase). The peptide substrate protected the enzyme against inactivation by CMC and the other substrate farnesyl pyrophosphate showed protection against inactivation by phenylglyoxal. while neither of the two substrates protected the enzyme against DEPC inactivation. These results suggest the presence of aspartate/glutamate, arginine and histidine residues at the active site of this enzyme.

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
