Farnesyltransferase inhibitors: potential role in the treatment of cancer.

Abstract excerpt

New targets for drug discovery have been identified rapidly as a result of the many recent and rapid advances in the understanding of signal transduction pathways that contribute to oncogenesis. In particular, oncogenic Ras proteins have been seen as an important target for novel anti-cancer drugs. Since the decade-old identification and cloning of farnesyltransferase (FTase), a critical enzyme that...
