title: Non-thiol farnesyltransferase inhibitors: N-(4-tolylacetylamino-3-benzoylphenyl)-3-arylfurylacrylic acid amides.
abstract: We have designed arylfurylacryl-substituted benzophenones as non-thiol farnesyltransferase inhibitors utilizing a novel aryl binding site of farnesyltransferase. These compounds display activity in the low nanomolar range.
