Design, synthesis and evaluation of a series of 7-imidazolylalkanamido-1-carboxylalkylbenzodiazepine farnesyltransferase (FTase) inhibitors.
Coupling of imidazolylalkylcarboxylic acids and 1-substituted 7-aminobenzodiazepines (5a-5c) yielded 10 new compounds (6-12, 16-18) which were biologically tested against FTase using scintillation proximity assay method.
Five target compounds were found to be potential farnesyltransferase inhibitors.
