Application

Farnesyltransferase inhibitor 277 (FTI-277) has been used to:
  • inhibit protein farnesylation in breast cell lines.
  • in marrow-isolated adult multilineage inducible cells (MIAMI).
  • inhibition of farnesyl transferase in CV-1 in Origin with SV40 genes cells (COS-7).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Farnesyltransferase inhibitor 277 (FTI-277) mediates apoptosis in multiple myeloma and is regarded as a potential therapeutic agent.
Highly potent (pM/nM) Ras CAAX peptidomimetic which antagonizes both H and K-Ras oncogenic signaling. Inhibitor of farnesyltransferase (Ftase) IC50 = 50 nM.

Packaging

Very hygroscopic material, package in a dry room with deoxygenated MeOH and pump down the solvent. Store with desiccant.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has a high propensity for organ-specific metastasis. However, the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Here we show that the primary TNBC tumor-derived C-X-C motif chemokines 1/2/8 (CXCL1/2/8) stimulate lung-resident fibroblasts to produce the C-C motif
