Abstract: Beginning with the structure of tipifarnib (1), a series of inhibitors of FTase have been synthesized by transposition of the D-ring to the imidazole and subsequent modification of the 2-quinolone motif. The compounds in the new series may be achiral and have structural features that allow for analogs that are difficult or impossible to make in the tertiary carbon-based tipifarnib series. The most potent compound (4d) is 4 times more active in vitro against FTase than tipifarnib.
