Abstract

The methanolic extract of the aerial parts of Centipeda minima was found to show inhibitory activity on farnesyl protein transferase (FPTase). Bioassay-guided fractionation of the methanolic extract resulted in the isolation of 6-O-angeloylprenolin, as an inhibitor on FPTase. This compound inhibited FPTase activity in a dose-dependent manner, and the $IC_{50}$ value of 6-O-angeloylprenolin was 18.8 ${\mu}M$.
