Tipifarnib is a farnesyltransferase inhibitor. Farnesyltransferase inhibitors block the activity of the farnesyltransferase enzyme by inhibiting prenylation of the CAAX tail motif, which ultimately prevents Ras from binding to the membrane, rendering it inactive. — Wikipedia

Mechanism of action
- Protein farnesyltransferaseINHIBITOR
Protein farnesyltransferase inhibitor
Inhibits isolated human FPT with IC50s of 0.86 nm and 7.9 nm observed for a lamin B peptide and for the K-RasB peptide, respectively. Competitive inhibitor for both the K-ras and lamin B1 peptide substrates (Ki = 0.5 nm) and noncompetitive for the farnesylpyrophosphate substrate.
