Lonafarnib (SCH66336, Sarasar) is an potent, selective, orally, bioavailable tricyclic nonpeptidyl nonsulfhydry inhibitor of farnesyltransferase (FTase).[1] It is a small molecular with the formula of C27H31Br2ClN4O2 and molecular weight of 638.82. Farnesylated Ras proteins was found to regulate signal transduction pathways which drive cell proliferation, growth and survival and be required for its membrane localization.[1, 2] Lonafarnib inhibits the post-translational farnesylcation of ras proteins, therefore blocking translocation of RAS to the plasma membrane.[3]

Cell lines |
UMSCC10B, UMSCC14B, UMSCC17B, UMSCC22B, UMSCC35 and UMSCC38 cells |
|
Preparation method |
The solubility of this compound in DMSO is > 10 mM. General tips for obtaining a higher concentration: Please warm the tube at 37 °C for 10 minutes and/or shake it in the ultrasonic bath for a while. Stock solution can be stored below -20 °C for several months. |

Reaction Conditions |
0.1 ~ 8 μM; 24 hrs |
|
Applications |
In human head and neck squamous carcinoma cells (HNSCCs), SCH66336 (0.1 ~ 8 μM) suppressed cell growth and induced apoptosis of in a dose- and time- dependent manner. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
|
Animal models |
NOD/SCID mice bearing XEN08 tumors |
|
Dosage form |
50 mg/kg; p.o.; b.i.d., for 20 days |
|
Applications |
In NOD/SCID mice bearing XEN08 tumors, SCH66336 (50 mg/kg, p.o., b.i.d.) significantly inhibited tumor growth, with a mean growth inhibition of 63.8 ± 5.0%. |
|
Other notes |
Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal. |
