| Bioactivity | A-176120 is a potent inhibitor of farnesyltransferase, crucial for Ras protein farnesylation in cancer cells. It exhibits high selectivity for farnesyltransferase (IC50 1.2 ± 0.3 nM) over related enzymes like geranylgeranyltransferases and squalene synthase. Inhibition of Ras processing in H-ras and K-ras mutated cells demonstrates its efficacy in blocking Ras-mediated signaling. A-176120 shows anti-angiogenic effects by inhibiting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) secretion and disrupting capillary formation in endothelial cells. In vivo studies reveal its ability to reduce tumor growth in Ras-transformed cells and enhance survival in animal models. These findings highlight A-176120 as a promising FPP analogue with potent anti-tumor and anti-angiogenic properties[1]. |
