Analogues of geranyl pyrophosphate as inhibitors of prenyltransferase.

G Popják, P W Holloway, R P Bond, M Roberts.   

Abstract

Six analogues of geranyl pyrophosphate (the monophosphates of geraniol and tetrahydrogeraniol, and the pyrophosphates of nerol, octan-1-ol, tetrahydrogeraniol and citronellol) were synthesized, and were found to be inhibitors of pig liver prenyl- (geranyl-)transferase. The effects of each analogue were analysed in kinetic experiments, which showed the pyrophosphates of citronellol, tetrahydrogeraniol and octan-1-ol to be the most potent inhibitors. The results are interpreted to support a previous hypothesis that the main forces in the binding of substrates to prenyltransferase are non-specific lipophilic forces and a pyrophosphate-binding force.
