GGTI298, a CAAZ peptidomimetic and potent geranylgeranyltransferase I (GGTase I) inhibitor, efficiently blocks the processing of geranylgeranylated Rap1A while exerting minimal impact on the processing of farnesylated Ha-Ras. The inhibitor displays in vivo IC50 values of 3 μM for Rap1A and >20 μM for Ha-Ras, respectively.

Ha-Ras:> 20 μM , Rap1A:3 μM

GGTI298/TRAIL activates NF-κB and inhibits Akt. knockdown of DR5, preventes GGTI298/TRAIL-induced IκBα and p-Akt reduction, suggesting that DR5 mediates reduction of IκBα and p-Akt induced by GGTI298/TRAIL. In contrast, DR4 knockdown further facilitates GGTI298/TRAIL-induced p-Akt reduction.Both RhoA inhibitor (GGTI298) and ROCK inhibitor (H1152) significantly reduce cAMP agonist-stimulated IK(ap), whereas the latter additionally reduces colocalization of KCNN4c with the apical membrane marker wheat germ agglutinin in T84WT cells.?Knockdown of DR4 abolishes NF-κB activation, leading to sensitization of DR5-dependent apoptosis induced by the combination of GGTI298 and TRAIL.

The vivo mouse ileal loop experiments show fluid accumulation is reduced in a dose-dependent manner by TRAM-34, GGTI298, or H1152 when injected together with cholera toxin into the loop.
