Abstract: This invention relates to compounds of formula (I) that inhibit farnesylation of gene products through inhibition of the enzyme farnesyl-protein transferase (FPTase). The invention also relates to methods of manufacturing the compounds, pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treating diseases, especially cancer, which are mediated through farnesylation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to inhibitors of ras farnesylation of the Formula I wherein: R1 is for example H and further values as defined in the specification; R2 is for example H and further values as defined in the specification; R3 is for example H or a substituent having values as defined in the specification; p is 0-3 in which R3 values can be the same or different; L is a linking moiety for example —CH2—NH— and further values as defined in the specification; A is selected from phenyl; naphthyl; a 5-10 membered monocyclic or bicyclic heteroaryl ring containing upto 5 heteroatoms where the heteroatoms are independently selected from O, N & S; or a —S—S— dimer thereof when R2?H; or a N-oxide or a pharmaceutically-acceptable salt, prodrug or solvate thereof. Processes for their preparation their use as therapeutic agents and pharmaceutical compositions containing them.
