Abstract
A set of synthetic approaches was developed and applied to the synthesis of eight frame-shifted isoprenoid diphosphate analogues. These analogues were designed to increase or decrease the methylene units between the double bonds and/or the pyrophosphate moieties of the isoprenoid structure. Evaluation of mammalian GGTase-I and FTase revealed that small structural changes can result in substantial changes in substrate activity.
