  • Abstract
    N-Acetyl-S-farnesyl cysteine (AFC) is the minimal synthetic substrate for the enzyme Icmt, which methylates prenylated proteins. The desthio-AFC isostere 2 has been synthesized in racemic form. This analog was not an Icmt substrate, but instead a weak inhibitor with an IC50 of 325 μM.
