Biological target:
FTI-277 is an inhibitor of farnesyl transferase (FTase); a highly potent Ras CAAX peptidomimetic which antagonizes both H- and K-Ras oncogenic signaling.
In vitro activity:
MTT assay demonstrated that FTI-277 inhibited proliferation of the H-Ras-MCF10A, Hs578T and MDA-MB-231 cells in a dose-dependent manner (Fig. 2). FTI-277 exerted a strong anti-proliferative effect on the H-Ras-MCF10A and Hs578T cells with 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) values of 6.84 and 14.87 µM for 48 h, respectively. FTI-277 treatment inhibited proliferation of the MDA-MB-231 cells with an IC50 value of 29.32 µM for 48 h. The results suggest that breast cells in which H-Ras is activated may be more susceptible to FTI-277 compared with the cells with wild-type H-Ras.

In vivo activity:
A single injection of farnesyltransferase inhibitor (25 mg/kg b.wt. FTI-277) at 2 h after CLP prolonged survival time of septic mice compared with vehicle alone. Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis showed statistically significant beneficial effects of FTI-277 compared with vehicle alone (p < 0.0001) (Fig. 1A). χ2 test also revealed that FTI-277 significantly reduced mortality after CLP in mice (p = 0.001).
