Cysmethnil is a small molecule inhibitor of ICMT that has been shown to reduce proliferation of cancer cell lines by promoting apoptosis (Winter-Vann et al, 2005; Wang et al, 2010; Judd et al, 2011; Sun et al, 2016; Manu et al, 2017). Cysmethynil is a poor candidate for clinical trials due to low solubility and other physical characteristics. A number of related small molecule inhibitors with improved physical properties are under investigation (Lau et al, 2014; Ramanujulu et al, 2013).
