| Targets |
FTI-2148 targets farnesyl transferase (FT-1) and geranylgeranyl transferase-1 (GGT-1), key enzymes in the post-translational modification of proteins through prenylation. By inhibiting FT-1 and GGT-1, it prevents the prenylation of proteins such as RAS, which is critical for their membrane localization and function. The compound shows a high degree of selectivity, with an IC50 of 1.4 nM for FT-1 and 1.7 μM for GGT-1. It also inhibits P. falciparum protein farnesyltransferase (PFT) with an IC50 of 15 nM and mammalian PFT with an IC50 of 0.82 nM.

| ln Vitro |
FTI-2148 (30 μM) in NIH3T3 cells transformed with all 3 RAS reduces the farnesylation of the single farnesylated protein, HDJ2 [1]. With respect to P. falciparum PFT, mammalian PFT, and mammalian PGGT-I, FTI-2148 has an IC50 value of 15 nM, 0.82 nM, and 1700 nM, respectively. Geranylgeranyl transferase-I is known as PGGT-I and protein farnesyl transferase (PFT)[2].
In vitro, FTI-2148 (30 μM) inhibits the farnesylation of the exclusively farnesylated protein HDJ2 in all three RAS-transformed NIH3T3 cells. It also inhibits the prenylation of KRAS and NRAS in these cell lines. The compound is effective against P. falciparum PFT, Mammalian PFT, and Mammalian PGGT-I with IC50 values of 15 nM, 0.82 nM, and 1700 nM, respectively. These findings confirm its potent and selective inhibition of farnesyltransferase activity in cellular models. |
| ln Vivo |
In a mouse model of human lung adenocarcinoma A-549 cells grown 91%, FTI-2148 (ip; 25 or 50 mpk/day using minipump; start on day 15, halt on day 45, restart on days 53-83) suppresses tumors. In a human xenograft nude mouse model, FTI-2148 (subcutaneous injection; 25 mpk/day using minipump; 14 days) reduced tumor development by 77% at the conclusion of two weeks of treatment [1]. In a ras transgenic mouse model, FTI-2148 (subcutaneous injection; 100 mg/kg/day; 14 days) promotes breast tumor regression [1]. In mouse mammary tumors cultured in vivo, FTI-2148 (subcutaneous injection; 100 mg/kg/day; 4 days) suppresses 85-88% of FTase activity but not GGTase I enzyme activity [3].
In vivo, FTI-2148 has demonstrated significant antitumor efficacy. In a human lung adenocarcinoma A-549 xenograft mouse model, intraperitoneal injection at 25 or 50 mg/kg/day inhibited tumor growth by 91%. In a human xenograft nude mouse model, subcutaneous injection at 25 mg/kg/day for 14 days inhibited tumor growth by 77%. In a ras transgenic mouse model, subcutaneous injection at 100 mg/kg/day for 14 days induced breast tumor regression by 87 ± 3%. The compound also resulted in 85-88% inhibition of FTase with no inhibition of GGTase I in breast tumors. |
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme assays for FTI-2148 typically involve measuring the inhibition of farnesyltransferase and geranylgeranyltransferase activity using purified enzyme preparations. The compound is incubated with the enzyme, its substrate (e.g., farnesyl pyrophosphate), and a peptide substrate representing the CAAX motif of a target protein. The transfer of the prenyl group to the peptide is measured using radiometric or fluorescence-based detection methods. The IC50 values are determined from dose-response curves.
