title: A novel metal-chelating inhibitor of protein farnesyltransferase.
abstract: A novel metal chelator comprising a 4-(naphthalen-1-yl)pyridine and 2-aminoethanethiol was synthesized. This showed inhibitory activity against human protein farnesyltransferase with IC(50) 1.9 microM, induced morphological change in K-ras-NRK cells at 0.5 microg/mL and showed growth inhibition of K-ras-NRK cells with IC(50) 0.32 microg/mL.
