The Ras inhibitor S-trans,trans-farnesylthiosalicylic acid (FTS, Salirasib) interferes with Ras membrane interactions that are crucial for Ras-dependent transformation. It remains unknown whether modifications of the carboxyl group of FTS can affect its activity. Here we show that specific modifications of the FTS carboxyl group by esterification or amidation yield compounds with improved growth inhibitory activity, compared to FTS, as shown in Panc-1 and U87 cells.

Background: Because hyperglycemia-induced oxidative stress may be a cause of retinopathy, this study examined the hypothesis that administration of exogenous antioxidants, stobadine (ST) and vitamin E (vitE), can restore retinal abnormalities in experimental diabetes.

Methods: Normal and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced male Wistar rats received daily intraoral doses of ST (24.7 mg/kg) and vitE (alpha-dl-tocopherol acetate, 400-500 IU/kg) individually or in combinations for 8 months.
