Descripción

2-Bromo-4-nitrobenzoic acid is a peptidomimetic that binds to farnesyltransferase and inhibits the enzyme activity. This drug is currently in preclinical development for the treatment of cancer. Preliminary studies have shown that 2-bromo-4-nitrobenzoic acid is able to inhibit tumor growth, which may be due to its inhibition of protein prenylation. This drug also has a low cell membrane permeability, which means it can only enter cells when they are actively taking up molecules from their surroundings. The lack of labelling on this drug means that it is not possible to detect its presence in vivo with positron emission tomography (PET) scans.
