Description: Cysmethynil is an indole-based time-dependent inhibitor of Icmt with antitumour activity and inhibitory effects on RAS membrane-binding and EGF signalling.Cysmethynil induces cell cycle arrest in G1 phase and induces cellular autophagy, and can be used for the study of solid tumours. Target: Autophagy,...

Post-translational protein prenylation is a 3-step process that occurs at the C-terminus of a number of proteins involved in cell growth control and oncogenesis. Isoprenylcysteine carboxyl methyltransferase (Icmt) catalyzes the methylation of C-terminal prenylcysteine residues, the last step in this process....
