NCIt definition : A nonpeptidomimetic quinolinone with potential antineoplastic activity. Tipifarnib
binds to and inhibits the enzyme farnesyl protein transferase, an enzyme involved
in protein processing (farnesylation) for signal transduction. By inhibiting the farnesylation
of proteins, this agent prevents the activation of Ras oncogenes, inhibits cell growth,
induces apoptosis, and inhibits angiogenesis. (NCI04);
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A substance that is being studied in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia
(AML) and other types of cancer. It belongs to the family of drugs called farnesyltransferase
inhibitors.;
