Abstract: Novel compounds of Formula (7.0a), (7.0b) or (7.0c): ##STR1## are disclosed. Also disclosed is a method of inhibiting Ras function and therefore inhibiting the abnormal growth of cells. The method comprises administering a compound of the formula (7.0a), (7.0b) or (7.0c) to a biological system. In particular, the method inhibits the abnormal growth of cells in a mammal such as a human being.

Abstract: A method of inhibiting Ras function and therefore inhibiting the abnormal growth of cells is disclosed. The method comprises the administration of a compound of Formula 1.0: ##STR1## to a biological system. In particular, the method inhibits the abnormal growth of cells in a mammal such as a human being. Novel compounds of formulas 5.0, 5.1 and 5.2, wherein R is --C(R.sup.20)(R.sup.21)(R.sup.46), and 5.3, 5.3A and 5.3B, wherein R is --N(R.sup.25)(R.sup.48), are disclosed. Also disclosed are processes for making 3-substituted compounds of Formulas 5.0, 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3. Further disclosed are novel compounds which are intermediates in the process for making 3-substituted compounds of Formulas 5.0, 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3.
