Description	BQU57 is a potent and selective GTPase Ral Inhibitor. It showed selectivity for Ral relative to the GTPases Ras and RhoA and inhibited tumour xenograft growth to a similar extent to the depletion of Ral using RNA interference. It inhibited the binding of Ral to its effector RALBP1, as well as inhibiting Ral-mediated cell spreading of murine embryonic fibroblasts and anchorage-independent growth of human cancer cell lines. The binding of the BQU57 to RalB was confirmed by isothermal titration calorimetry, surface plasmon resonance and 1H-15N transverse relaxation-optimized spectroscopy (TROSY) NMR spectroscopy. The Ras-like GTPases RalA and RalB are important drivers of tumour growth and metastasis. BQU57 that blocks Ral function would be valuable as research tools and for cancer therapeutics.
