L-779450（Cat No.:I003063）is a potent and selective inhibitor of farnesyltransferase, an enzyme involved in the post-translational modification of proteins such as Ras, which plays a critical role in cell signaling pathways related to cancer. By inhibiting farnesyltransferase, L-779450 prevents the proper localization and function of Ras proteins, thereby disrupting cancer cell growth and survival. It has been studied in preclinical models for its potential in targeting Ras-driven tumors, including pancreatic and lung cancers. L-779450 is a valuable tool in cancer research, particularly for exploring therapeutic interventions against Ras-dependent malignancies.
