Abstract
Peptidomimetic compounds useful in the treatment of Ras-associated human cancers, and other conditions mediated by farnesylated or geranylgeranylated proteins; and synthetic intermediates thereof.
Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention concerns peptidomimetics useful in the treatment of human cancers.
Ras is an oncogene prevalent in over 20% of all human cancers. In particular, ras oncogenes are found in approximately 30% of all lung cancer, 30% of all myeloid leukemia, 50% of all colorectal carcinoma, and 90% of all pancreatic carcinoma. Barbacid, M., Ann. Rev. Biochem., 56:779 (1987), Bos, J. L., Cancer Res. 49:4682 (1989). Examples of ras mutations include H-ras, K-ras, and N-ras.
Like other members of the superfamily of small GTP-hydrolyzing proteins, ras-encoded proteins require post-translational processing for membrane association and biological function. Maltese, W. A., FASEB Journal, 4:3319 (1990), Hancock, J. F. et al., Cell, 57:1167 (1989).
The post-translational processing of the ras protein is signalled by a short carboxy terminus consensus sequence, a CAAX box, indicating which isoprenyl group (farnesyl or geranylgeranyl) is to be attached. For farnesylated proteins, such as Ras, lamin B, and .gamma.-transducin, C is cysteine, A is an aliphatic amino acid, and X is methionine, serine, or glutamine. Geranylgeranylated proteins such as Rap, Rab, Rho and other small GTP-binding proteins, have similar CAAX sequences in which X is usually leucine, or occasionally phenylalanine.
Post-translational processing of the ras-encoded protein includes at least three steps. First, reaction with farnesyl pyrophosphate attaches a farnesyl group to the Cys.sup.186 residue. Second, a specific protease cleaves the three carboxy-terminal amino acids. Third, the carboxylic acid terminus is methylated to a methyl ester. The farnesyl transferase enzyme (FTase) mediates the attachment of the farnesyl group to a protein. The geranylgeranyl transferase I enzyme (GGTase) mediates the attachment of the geranylgeranyl group to a protein.
Post-translational processing, particularly farnesylation, of ras proteins is critical for in vivo ras protein function. Upstream of FTase, farnesylation of a ras protein can be inhibited by mevalonate synthesis inhibitors such as lovastatin or compactin, which are HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors. Direct inhibition of FTase by short peptides or peptide-like substrates has also been demonstrated.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This invention features peptidomimetics useful in the treatment of ras-associated human cancers. The compounds of the invention inhibit post-translational modification of ras proteins by FTase, thereby down-regulating ras protein function. Substitution at the R.sup.7, R.sup.2, R.sup.4 or R.sup.5 positions (see, e.g., formula I below) modulates the specificity and selectivity of a compound of the invention for FTase and GGTase. The compounds of the invention inhibit post-translational modification of ras proteins by the related GGTase, which also results in down-regulation of ras protein function. Certain compounds of the invention are selective or specific for FTase, in preference over GGTase.
In general, the invention features a compound of the formula: ##STR1##

In one aspect of the invention, compounds of the invention inhibit post-translational modification of the oncogenic ras protein by FTase, GGTase, or both. Such inhibition reduces or blocks the ability of the ras protein to transform normal cells to cancer cells. Compounds of formulae I-VI and VIII-XI, therefore, are for use in medicine (e.g., treatment of conditions mediated by farnesylated or geranylgeranylated proteins, such as treatment of ras-associated tumors, in mammals, e.g., humans).
Examples of ras-associated tumors include: tumors of the bladder, breast, colon, kidney, liver, lung, ovary, pancreas, and stomach; hematopoietic tumors of lymphoid (acute lymphocytic leukemia, B-cell lymphoma, Burkitt's lymphoma) and myeloid (acute and chronic myelogenous leukemias, promyelocytic leukemia) origins; in tumors of mesenchymal origin (such as fibrosarcomas and rhabdomyosarcomas); and melanomas, teratocarcinomas, neuroblastomas, gliomas, and keratoacanthomas (see supra, Barbacid, 1987).
In another aspect, the invention encompasses methods of treating ras-associated tumors in a patient by administering an effective amount of a pharmaceutical formulation of one or more compounds of the invention to the patient.
In another aspect, the invention encompasses synthetic intermediates of the disclosed inhibitor compounds such as compounds R007D, R011D, R019D, R020D, R029D, R003E, R005E, R004T, R003M-R006M, R025M, R027M, R023D, R017M, R006A, R004A, R003A, R012A, R014D, R023M, R024D, R007E, R001A, R007T, R013D, R018M, and Wittig reagent R012M.
Other features and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following drawings and detailed description, and also from the appending claims.

B. Terms
An alkyl group is a branched or unbranched hydrocarbon that may be substituted or unsubstituted. Examples of branched alkyl groups include isopropyl, sec-butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl, sec-pentyl, isopentyl, tert-pentyl, sec-hexyl, isohexyl, and tert-hexyl. Substituted alkyl groups may have one, two, three, or more substituents, which may be the same or different, each replacing a hydrogen atom. Substituents are halide, hydroxyl, protected hydroxyl, amino, protected amino, carboxy, protected carboxyl, cyano, methylsulfonylamino, alkoxy, acyloxy, nitro, and lower haloalkyl.
Similarly, cycloalkyl, aryl, arylalkyl, alkylaryl, heteroaryl, and heterocyclic radical groups may be substituted with one or more of the above substituting groups. Examples of cycloalkyl groups are cyclopropyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, and cycloactyl. An aryl group is a C.sub.6-40 aromatic ring, wherein the ring is made of carbon atoms (e.g., C.sub.6-20, or C.sub.6-12 aryl groups).
A heterocyclic radical contains at least one ring structure which contains carbon atoms and at least one heteroatom such as N, O, or S. A heteroaryl is an aromatic heterocyclic radical. Examples of heterocyclic radicals and heteroaryl groups include: thiazolyl, 2-thienyl, 3-thienyl, 3-furyl, furazanyl, 2H-pyran-3-yl, 1-isobenzofuranyl, 2H-chromen-3-yl, 2H-pyrrolyl, N-pyrrolyl, imidazolyl, pyrazolyl, isothiazolyl, isoxazolyl, pyridyl, pyrazinyl, pyrimidinyl, pyridazinyl, indolizinyl, isoindolyl, indolyl, indazolyl, purinyl, phthalazinyl, cinnolinyl, and pteridinyl.
A heterocyclic radical may be attached to another moiety via a carbon atom or a heteroatom of the heterocyclic radical. In formulae I--III where R.sup.6 is a heterocyclic radical or heteroaryl, R.sup.6 is preferably attached to a thionyl or carbonyl of R.sup.4 via a heteroatom of R.sup.6. This preference extends analogously to generic formulae IV-VI where R.sup.26 is a heterocyclic radical or heteroaryl, R.sup.26 is preferably attached to a thionyl or carbonyl of R.sup.24 via a heteroatom of R.sup.26. This preference also extends analogously to formulae VIII-XI.
In certain embodiments, R.sup.4 (and analogous groups such as R.sup.24) may be a lactone or lactam (or the thiocarbonyl or thioester equivalents). For example, R.sup.4 includes radicals of homoserine lactone and homocysteine lactone.
An acyl group has the formula R(C.dbd.O)--and an acyloxy group has the formula R(C.dbd.O)--O--, wherein R is H, C.sub.1-12 alkyl, C.sub.6-20 aryl, or C.sub.7-20 arylalkyl. Thus, a C.sub.1-14 acyl includes R being, for example, H, C.sub.1-6 alkyl, C.sub.6-12 alkyl, and C.sub.7-13 arylalkyl. An alkyloxyalkyl group has the formula R--O--R'--, wherein each of R and R', independently, is C.sub.1-12 alkyl (e.g., R is C.sub.1-8 or C.sub.1-6). An acyloxyalkyl group has the formula R--(C.dbd.O)--O--R'--, wherein each of R and R', independently, is C.sub.1-12 alkyl, C.sub.6-20 aryl, or C.sub.7-20 arylalkyl (e.g., is C.sub.1-8 or C.sub.1-6). An alkyloxycarbonyl group has the formula R--O--(C.dbd.O)--, wherein R is C.sub.2-14 alkyl (eg., C.sub.2-6). A preferred alkyloxycarbonyl group is t-butoxycarbonyl (BOC). A carbamoyl group has the formula RR'N--(C.dbd.O)--, wherein each of R and R', independently, is H, C.sub.1-12 alkyl, or C.sub.6-20 aryl.
An activated leaving group (L, L.sup.n) departs from a substrate with the pair of electrons of the covalent bond between the leaving group and the substrate; preferred leaving groups stabilize those electrons via the presence of electron-withdrawing groups, aromaticity, resonance structures, or a combination thereof. Examples of activated (or electron-withdrawing) leaving groups include halide (iodide and bromide are preferred); hydroxy; C.sub.1-12 alkylsulfonyloxy such as mesylate and trifluoromethanesulfonate; C.sub.6-20 arylsulfonyloxy such as p-toluenesulfonate, p-nitrobenzenesulfonate; benzoate and benzoate derivatives such as p-nitrobenzoate; C.sub.7-40 arylalkyl such as p-nitrobenzyl; C.sub.7-20 arylalkyloxy; C.sub.1-12 alkoxy; C.sub.2-12 alkyloxycarbonyl such as BOC; C.sub.1-12 acyloxy, C.sub.1-12 carbamoyl, and C.sub.2-5 haloalkylcarbonyloxy such as trifluoroacetate. Examples of electron-withdrawing groups include halides, halogenated alkyls, carboxylate, and nitro groups.
Numerous thiol-, amino- and carboxyl-protecting groups are well-known to those in the art. In general, the species of protecting group is not critical provided that it is stable to the conditions of any subsequent reaction(s) on other positions of the compound and can be removed at the appropriate point without adversely affecting the remainder of the molecule. In some embodiments, R.sup.1 and R.sup.7 taken together are preferably a bifunctional thiol-protecting group, having two points of attachment instead of one, such as --(C.dbd.O)--and isopropylidene (--C(CH.sub.3).sub.2 --) which form particularly stable products.
Similarly, in some embodiments, R.sup.18 and NR.sup.19 taken together are a bifunctional aryl, heteroaryl, or heterocyclic radical. Examples of preferred thiol-protecting groups include thioethers, sulfenyl derivatives, disulfides, and bifunctional protecting groups such as dithiols, aminothiols, thioaminals, and thioacetals, such as thiazolidines and thiazolidinones. A preferred thiol-protecting group, such as a disulfide, will be cleaved under mild reductive conditions.
Examples of disulfides include S-ethyl, S-t-butyl, and substituted S-phenyl. In addition, symmetrical and asymmetrical disulfides are discussed further below.
Examples of thioethers include (i) S-benzyl and derivatives thereof such as S-4-methyl- and 5-3,4-dimethyl-benzyl, S-p-methoxybenzyl, S-o- or p-hydroxybenzyl (or acetoxybenzyl), S-p-nitrobenzyl, S-4-picolyl, S-2-picolyl N-oxide, and S-9-anthrylmethyl; (ii) S-diphenylmethyl, substituted S-diphenylmethyl, and S-triphenylmethyl (S-trityl) thioethers such as S-diphenyl-4-pyridylmethyl, S-5-dibenzosuberyl, and S-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)methyl, and (iii) substituted S-methyl derivatives such as S-methoxy-methyl, S-isobutoxymethyl, S-2-tetrahydropyranyl, S-benzylthiomethyl, thiazolidines, S-acetamidomethyl, S-benzamidomethyl, S-acetyl-, S-carboxy-, and S-cyanomethyl; and (iv) substituted S-ethyl derivatives such as S-2-nitro-1-phenylethyl, S-t-butyl, S-2,2-bis(carboethoxy)ethyl, and S-1-m-nitrophenyl-2-benzoylethyl.
Thioesters including S-acetyl, S-benzoyl, thiocarbonates (e.g., S-benzyloxycarbonyl, S-t-butoxy-carbonyl), and thiocarbamates (e.g., S-(N-ethyl)) and S-(N-methoxymethyl) are less preferred for use in the synthetic pathway shown. For example, some of these thioesters and thiocarbamates may not be resistant to the LiOH/MeOH/H.sub.2 O hydrolysis in Scheme VIII. However, an organic chemist of ordinary skill can make suitable modifications to the synthetic pathway, such as using an ester other than methyl, to improve the compatibility of these thiol-protecting groups.
In addition, a protecting group may be substituted for another after substantive synthetic transformations are complete. Clearly, where a compound differs from a compound disclosed herein only in that one or more protecting groups of the disclosed compound has been substituted with a different protecting group (e.g., carbamate), that compound is within the invention. Further examples and conditions for thiol-, amino-, and carboxyl-protecting group chemistry are found in T. W. Greene, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, (1st ed., 1981, 2nd ed., 1991).
The invention also encompasses isotopically-labelled counterparts of compounds disclosed herein. An isotopically-labelled compound of the invention has one or more atoms replaced with an isotope having a detectable particle-emitting (radioactive) nucleus or a magnetogyric nucleus. Examples of such nuclei include but are not limited to .sup.2 H, .sup.3 H, .sup.13 C, .sup.14 N, .sup.19 F, .sup.29 Si, .sup.31 P, and .sup.32 P. Isotopically-labelled compounds of the invention are particularly useful as probes or research tools for spectrometric analyses, radioimmunoassays, binding assays based on .gamma.- or .beta.- scintillation, autoradiography, and kinetic studies such as the determination of primary and secondary isotope effects.
C. Embodiments
It will be apparent to those in the art that formulae I and IV are closely related, having substituents which are analogous. For example, R.sup.1, R.sup.5 and R.sup.7 in formula I are analogous to R.sup.21, R.sup.25, and R.sup.27 in formula IV, respectively. Thus, in this description, general guidance and preferred embodiments described for R.sup.1 are understood to apply to R.sup.21, those for R.sup.7 are understood to apply to R.sup.27, and so on. In addition, those in the art will recognize other relationships, such as that formula I is closely related to formulae II and III; that formulae (i)-(v) are closely related to formulae (vi)-(x); and that formulae VII-XI are related to formulae I and IV.
In one aspect, the invention is a compound having a formula selected from formulae I-III (or IV-VI), where R.sup.7 (or an analogous group such as R.sup.27 in formula IV) is any moiety compatible with the intended use of the compound. In one aspect, a compatible moiety is an organic moiety having fewer than 100 carbon atoms, such as fewer than 50, 35, 30 or 20 carbon atoms. In another aspect, a compatible moiety is a polymer backbone or matrix for drug release or delivery, which may contain 100, 150, or more carbon atoms, due to its polymeric nature.
A compatible organic moiety must not interfere with the intended use of the compound. For example, where the use is inhibition of one or more isoprenyl transferase enzymes, the remainder moiety may enhance the inhibition; perform a supplementary ras-associated function; perform a complementary different function; or perform no particular function, including undergoing chemical cleavage from the inhibitor moiety of the compound in the body.
Examples of an organic moiety include mono- or bifunctional thiol-protecting groups; detectable or bioimaging agents; systemic or specific anti-cancer agents; targeting agents intended to localize delivery of a compound of the invention to a selected class of cells, a tissue, or an organ; directing agents intended to selectively discourage uptake of a compound of the invention by a selected class of cells, a tissue, or an organ; other competitive, noncompetitive, uncompetitive or mixed inhibition inhibitors of an isoprenyl transferase enzyme. Such inhibitors include inhibitors of ras-associated enzymes, including suicide substrates of ras-associated enzymes.
In one aspect, the compound of the invention is a disulfide. An asymmetrical disulfide is a moiety set forth in a formula selected from the formulae I-III wherein R.sup.7 (or an analogous group such as R.sup.27 in formulae IV-VI) is deleted, the free sulfur atom being bonded to any moiety having a second reactive sulfur atom to form a disulfide. Preferably, "any moiety" is an organic moiety having fewer than 100 carbon atoms, such fewer than 50, 40, 30 or 20 carbon atoms. Examples of such organic moieties include but are not limited to the other moieties listed in a previous paragraph (such as detectable or bioimaging agents, anti- cancer agents, and drug-targeting agents) and the moieties defined by R.sup.7, or R.sup.7 and R.sup.1 when taken together.
Another embodiment of this aspect relates to an asymmetrical disulfide, wherein the organic moiety is itself a (different) moiety set forth in a formula selected from the formulae I-VI wherein R.sup.7 (or an analogous group such as R.sup.27 in formula IV) is deleted. In another embodiment, the invention relates to a symmetrical disulfide dimer, wherein R.sup.7 is a moiety of the same formula with R.sup.7 deleted, such as PD212, PE041, PE051, PM141, and PM022. Due to the reactivity of an unprotected thiol group, it may be desirable to store or handle a compound of the invention in the form of a symmetrical disulfide dimer or an asymmetrical disulfide.
Chemically-linked (e.g., disulfide) or formulated (mixture) combinations of two different compounds of the invention are useful not only to prevent premature sequestration in the patient, but also to formulate and deliver a dual-acting drug. For example, a first compound may be a more potent FTase inhibitor than a second compound and the second may be a more potent GGTase inhibitor than the first. Thus, to the extent that some farnesylated proteins may be alternatively geranylgeranylated, a GGTase inhibitor will also be available in the patient via the same drug dose.
Certain compounds (in fact a majority) of the invention are dual-acting compounds, wherein the compound has some degree of activity for both GGTase and FTase. The relative selectivity and specificity can be modulated by substitution (e.g., at the R.sup.7, R.sup.2, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, and Y positions). Therefore, to the extent that some farnesylated proteins may be alternatively geranylgeranylated, a GGTase inhibitor will also be available in the patient via the same compound.
In general, the preferred stereochemistry for the --CH.sub.2 --S--R.sup.7 moiety and for each of R.sup.2 and R.sup.5, independently, (and analogous groups such as R.sup.22, R.sup.52, and R.sup.76 ; and R.sup.25, respectively) is shown below. Note that a preferred species may have the indicated preferred stereochemistry at one, both, or neither of the R.sup.2 and R.sup.5 positions. Furthermore, while the invention encompasses both cis and trans geometries, trans is preferred at the carbon-carbon double bond shown below. ##STR7##

The enzyme specificity of the inhibitor compounds of the invention is determined, in part, by the amino acid defined by the side chain of substituent R.sup.5 (or analogous groups such as R.sup.25). Generally, where the amino acid is one of the preferred amino acids (methionine, glutamine, or serine), the inhibitor is specific for FTase. Where the amino acid defined by the side chain of substituent R.sup.5 is another amino acid, in particular leucine and phenylalanine, the inhibitor will generally inhibit GGTase. Compounds which inhibit FTase are preferred for their specificity. Potency and specificity for FTase and GGTase can be measured by methods well known in the art, including those disclosed herein, such as the in vitro inhibition assays in Example A below.

In vitro and in vivo data demonstrating utility
Ras proteins mediate the transformation of normal cells to cancer cells in many human cancers. Before becoming membrane associated and fully functional, ras proteins require post-translational processing. Compounds which inhibit prenylation will, therefore, inhibit the growth of ras-related cancers.
Compounds of the invention were screened in four art-accepted in vitro assays. First, each of over 60 tested inhibitor compounds was shown to inhibit FTase-mediated prenylation (Table 1). Second, each of over 60 tested compounds was shown to inhibit GGTase-mediated prenylation (Table 1). Third, each of over 60 tested compounds was shown to inhibit ras protein processing in whole cells (Table 2). Clearly, the compounds of the invention inhibit the prenylating activity of FTase, GGTase, or in most cases, both enzymes, with different potencies.
Furthermore, the compounds of the invention inhibit the anchorage-independent growth of ras-related tumor cell lines. For example, PD331 was shown to inhibit the growth of five tumor cell lines (Table 3). HT1080 is a neurofibrosarcoma with a N-ras mutation. MIApaca-2 is a pancreatic carcinoma and Sw620 is a colonic carcinoma; each of these has a K-ras mutation. T24 is a bladder carcinoma with a H-ras mutation; and zH1 is a H-ras-transformed NIH/3T3 mouse fibroblast. Additional compounds have been tested and have yielded positive results in these organ-specific or ras-protein specific anchorage-independent tumor cell models.
More importantly, an in vivo experiment demonstrated that compound PD331 effectively inhibited the growth of ras-associated tumors in mice (Table 4). The results of a second in vivo experiment demonstrated that another compound (PM061) effectively inhibited the growth of ras-associated tumors in mice (Table 5).
Thus, the ability of the compounds of the invention to inhibit protein processing has been demonstrated in three separate in vitro assays. The ability of the compounds of the invention to inhibit ras-related cancer growth has been demonstrated in an in vitro assay and two separate in vivo experiments.

As Inhibition of FTase and GGTase Prenylation
The ability of the disclosed inhibitor compounds to inhibit FTase was measured according to a published prenylation assay (Moores et al., J. Biol. Chem. 266:14603 (1991). Partially purified FTase with 3 .mu.M recombinant H-ras and 440 nM �.sup.3 H!FPP (FTase) were used. The inhibitors were diluted in assay buffer, and each assay mixture was incubated 15 min. at 37.degree. C. Where inhibition of GGTase was measured, partially purified GTTase with 5 .mu.M recombinant H-ras (61L, CAIL) and 1 .mu.M �.sup.3 H! geranylgeranyl diphosphate were used.
The IC.sub.50 (concentration of compound needed to cause 50% inhibition) values are presented in Table 1. Nanomolar concentrations of the indicated compounds were sufficient to inhibit farnesylation of ras proteins in vitro. For screening candidate compounds useful for the treatment of ras-associated tumors, the FTase assay is preferred. One embodiment of the invention selectively inhibits FTase. Substitutions which confer GGTase specificity as taught herein also produced potent inhibitors of GGTase.

B. Inhibition of Prenylation in Whole Cells
The ability of compounds of the invention to inhibit H-ras farnesylation and rap1 geranylgeranylation in whole cells was determined. H-ras (61L) transformed NIH3T3 fibroblasts were generously provided by C. Der, Univ. N. Carolina. These fibroblasts were treated for 24 h with 50 .mu.M lovastatin (control) or the indicated concentrations of inhibitor. The cells were lysed in 1% NP-40, 5 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 5 mM EDTA, 0.1 mM N-tosyl-L-phenylalanine chloromethyl ketone, 0.1 mM N-tosyl-L-lysine chloromethyl ketone, and 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride. The lysate was centrifuged (15000.times.g, 5 min.) and the supernatant was used as a cell extract. Total protein was separated by SDS-PAGE in 15% acrylamide gel. After transfer to IMMOBILON P.TM. membrane (Millipore), the blots were probed with LA069 mouse monoclonal antibody to H-ras (Quality Biotech), or rabbit polyclonal antibody to rap1/Krev (Santa Cruz Biotechnology). All Western blots were developed using ECL chemiluminescent reagents (Amersham).
The IC.sub.50 values for H-ras are presented in Table 2. Sub-micromolar concentrations of the indicated compounds are sufficient to inhibit farnesylation of ras proteins in whole cells. In contrast, inhibition of geranylgeranylation of rap1 required compound concentrations in excess of 100 .mu.M (data not shown). Thus, many compounds of the invention inhibit farnesylation more specifically than geranylgeranylation.

C. Inhibition of Anchoraae-Independent Tumor Cell Growth
Five tumor cell lines were seeded at 600 cells/well (12-well plates) in 0.6 mL of 0.3% Noble agar in culture medium over a bottom agar layer (0.5% Noble agar in culture medium). The culture medium was Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (Nissui Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan), supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated calf serum (GIBCO, Grand Island, N.Y.). A 10 mM stock solution of inhibitor compound PD331 in DMSO was diluted with culture medium to 3.times. the final concentration and 0.6 mL of the diluted inhibitor solution was overlayed on each well. Controls contained the same amount of DMSO as inhibitor samples. Plates were incubated at 37.degree. C. in 5% CO.sub.2 for 14 days. Colonies were counted by replacement of the overlaying medium with 0.6 mL of 2 mg/mL MTT in PBS, incubation for 30 min, and quantitation of scanned photographs. IC.sub.50 concentrations for each cell line are shown below in Table 3.

D. Inhibition of Human Tumor Xenoaraft in Mice
H-ras (61L) transformed NIH3T3 fibroblasts were grown in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated calf serum. 100 U/mL penicillin, 100 .mu.g/mL streptomycin, and 0.75 mg/mL G418 (GIBCO) and incubated at 37.degree. C. in 5% CO.sub.2. Cells were harvested from exponential-phase maintenance cultures (T-225 cm.sup.2 culture flasks, Corning Inc., Corning, N.Y.) with trypsin-EDTA (GIBCO), centrifuged at 160 .times.g for 5 min, washed once with 10 mL cold Hank's balanced salt solution (HBSS, GIBCO), and resuspended at a concentration of 1.times.10.sup.6 cells/mL.
Five week old female athymic nude mice were obtained from SLC (3371-8, Kotoummachi, Hamamatsu-shi, Shizuoka 431-11, Japan) and maintained under pathogen-free conditions. The mice were subcutaneously injected in the lateral flank with 1.times.10.sup.5 H-ras transformed cells/mouse.
Inhibitor compound PD331 was suspended in saline containing 2% Tween-80 in a total injection volume of 0.2 mL. Two dosage concentrations were prepared, 0.3 mg/mouse or 1.0 mg/mouse. Compound PD331 was subcutaneously injected daily at the site of tumor cell implantation for 5 consecutive days, starting approximately 8 h after the implantation (day 0). The control group was injected with vehicle only. Body weight and tumor dimensions were measured at days 7, 10, and 14. Tumor volume was estimated by the following calculation: tumor volume =(0.5)(length.times.width.times.width). At day 14, each mouse was euthanized with CO.sub.2 (g), and each tumor was excised and weighed. The statistical significance was estimated by the Student's T-test. Final tumor volumes are presented in Table 4.

Compound PD331 has a significant effect on H-ras tumor growth in mice. At every concentration, both the weight and the volume of the tumors from the treated group were less than the weight and volume of tumors from the control group. These data clearly demonstrate that the compounds of the invention inhibit the formation and growth of in vivo tumors caused by the ras oncogene.
E. Inhibition of Human Tumor Xenoaraft in Mice
The same in vivo experiment as Example D above was performed, using compound PM061. Instead of 0.3 mg/mouse and 1.0 mg/mouse, three injection concentrations were prepared (0.5 mg/mouse, 1.0 mg/mouse, and 2.0 mg/mouse). Body weight and tumor size were measured at days 7, 10, and 15. Tumors were excised at day 15. Final tumor volumes are presented in Table 5.
Compound PM061 had a significant effect on H-ras tumor growth in mice. An injection of 2.0 mg of compound PM061 decreased the tumor volume to 53.2% of the tumor volume in the control mouse. These data clearly demonstrate that the compounds of the invention inhibit the formation and growth of in vivo tumors caused by the ras oncogene.

Amine R001A
The solid hydrochloride salt of phenylalaninyl methionine methyl ester was added to a solution of aldehyde R020D (488 mg, 1.492 mmol) in THF (20 mL). The mixture was stirred at room temp for 15 min until homogeneous. Triacetoxy sodium borohydride (1.392 g, 6.565 mmol) was added and the solution was stirred at room temp for 16 h. The reaction mixture was then diluted with ethyl acetate (100 mL) and water (50 mL) and the two phases were separated. The aqueous phase was extracted twice with ethyl acetate ( 20 mL).

Bromoolefins R002E
Sodium hydride (250 mg, 10.4 mmol) was added to a solution of L-(-)-methyl .alpha.-hydroxy-.beta.-phenyl propionate (3.6 g, 20 mmol) and 1,3-dibromo propene (8.24 g, 41 mmol) in CH.sub.3 CN (60 mL) under argon at ambient temperature. Additional quantities of sodium hydride (650 mg, 27 mmol) were added batchwise at 2, 6, and 20 h. TLC (1:4 ethyl acetate:hexanes) showed complete consumption of starting material 5 h after the final sodium hydride addition. The resulting brown mixture was quenched with brine and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was dried with brine, dried with MgSO.sub.4 and evaporated to give 5.7 g of crude product. Purification by FC (eluting with 1:9 ethyl acetate:hexanes) afforded the desired bromoolefins R002E (3.68 g, 62%) as a mixture of cis:trans olefins in a ratio of approximately 1:1. Separation of the olefin isomers could be achieved by more exhaustive chromatography. A small amount of alkyne derived from elimination of the desired bromoolefinic products was also isolated (136 mg, 3%).
