In Farnesyltransferase Inhibitors in Cancer Therapy, cutting-edge researchers describe their efforts to design, synthesize, and evaluate the biological activities of farnesyltransferase inhibitors (FTIs) and geranylgeranyltransferase inhibitors (GGTIs) that can be used as anticancer drugs and in cardiovascular and parasitic therapy. The authors survey in detail such inhibitors as CAAX box peptidomimetics, FPP mimics, and bisubstrate transition state analogs, and critically review their uses in combination with radiation and other cytotoxic agents, such as gemcitabine, cisplatin, and taxanes. The book also discusses the results from several phase I and II human clinical trials using a variety of FTIs, and demonstrates the design of hypothesis-driven clinical trials with proof-of-concept using biochemical endpoints..Illuminating and richly detailed, Farnesyltransferase I | 出版日期 | Book 2001 | 关键词 | biochemistry; cancer; cancer therapy; cardiovascular disease; cell; chemistry; development; drugs; medicinal | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-59259-013-1 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4684-9606-2 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-59259-013-1Series ISSN 2196-9906 Series E-ISSN 2196-9914 | issn_series | 2196-9906 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media New York 2001 |
