Article Synopsis
  • * The vaccinia H1 (VH1) phosphatase is a unique protein that can act on different types of phosphorylated residues and plays a crucial role in viral replication and immune response.
  • * VH1 is a promising target for anti-poxvirus drug development due to its conservation across poxviruses and differences from a related human phosphatase, making it a viable candidate for creating inhibitors that disrupt its dimer structure.

Disturbance of the dynamic balance between protein tyrosine phosphorylation and dephosphorylation, modulated by protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) and protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs), is known to be crucial for the development of many human diseases. The discovery of agents that restore this balance has been the subject of many drug research efforts, most of which have focused on tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), resulting in the development of more than 50 FDA-approved TKIs during the past two decades. More recently, accumulating evidence has suggested that members of the PTP superfamily are also promising drug targets, and efforts to discover tyrosine phosphatase inhibitors (TPIs) have increased dramatically.

Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is an attractive molecular target for anti-diabetes, anti-obesity, and anti-cancer drug development. From the seeds of Silybum marianum, nine flavonolignans, namely, silybins A, B (1, 2), isosilybins A, B (3, 4), silychristins A, B (5, 6), isosilychristin A (7), dehydrosilychristin A (8), and silydianin (11) were identified as a novel class of natural PTP1B inhibitors (IC 1.3 7-23.
