4-Bromo-3-fluorobenzyl alcohol is an analog of prenylation, a process that is essential for the synthesis of many cellular components. It inhibits farnesyltransferase, an enzyme involved in the process of prenylation. Farnesyltransferase catalyzes the conversion of the 5-carbon farnesol to the 15-carbon geranylgeraniol, which is then converted to a 20-carbon geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate. This reaction generates a molecule with two prenyl groups. The discovery of 4-bromo-3-fluorobenzyl alcohol was made possible by its potent inhibition of farnesyltransferase and it has been shown to have promising results as a potential treatment for cancer.
