title: Novel beta-(imidazol-4-yl)-beta-amino acids: solid-phase synthesis and study of their inhibitory activity against geranylgeranyl protein transferase type I.
abstract: Solid-phase synthesis of imidazolyl-beta-amino acid derivatives is described. Several analogs demonstrated moderate inhibition of geranylgeranyl protein transferase type I (GGPT I).
