GGTI 2133 (trifluoroacetate salt)

개요GGTI 2133 is a peptidomimetic inhibitor of geranylgeranyl transferase type I (GGTase I; IC50 = 38 nM). It is 140-fold selective for GGTase I over farnesyltransferase (IC50 = 5,400 nM). In vitro, it inhibits geranylgeranylation of RAP1A (IC50 = 10 μM) without inhibiting farnesylation of H-Ras (IC50 = >30 μM). It also inhibits cell growth and decreases migration and invasion of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSSC) cells to 75, 45, and 27% of control values, respectively. GGTI 2133 (5 mg/kg per day, i.p.) prevents ovalbumin-induced eosinophil infiltration into airways in a mouse model of allergic bronchial asthma but does not prevent an increase in chemokines. It also blocks naloxone-induced contraction of ileum isolated from rats with morphine withdrawal syndrome and dose-dependently decreases withdrawal severity in vivo (ED50 = 0.076 mg/kg).

용도GGTI-2133 has been usedTo understand the role of geranylgeranyl transferase in the regulation of CXC chemokine production and neutrophil recruitment in the lung.To study the importance of geranylgeranylation in cell adhesion.To measure ligand-induced ADP-ribosylation factor 6 (Arf6) activation in breast cancer cells.
