Oxo-piperazine derivatives of N-arylpiperazinones as inhibitors of farnesyltransferase.
The evaluation of SAR associated with the insertion of carbonyl groups at various positions of N-arylpiperazinone farnesyltransferase inhibitors is described herein. 1-Aryl-2,3-diketopiperazine derivatives exhibited the best balance of potency and pharmacokinetic profile relative to the parent 1-aryl-2-piperazinones.
