M. Chu et al., SCH-207278 - A NOVEL FARNESYL-PROTEIN TRANSFERASE INHIBITOR FROM AN UNIDENTIFIED FUNGUS, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 7(19), 1997, pp. 2547-2550
Novel aromatic dialdehyde, Sch 207278 (1), was isolated from an uniden
tified fungus as an inhibitor of farnesyl protein transferase (FPTase)
. The structure of 1 was elucidated by spectroscopic methods. Compound
1 exhibited an IC50 value of 3.5 mu M against FPTase and 70 mu M agai
nst geranylgeranyl protein transferase-1 (GGPTase-1), respectively. (C
