Discovery of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibitors has been actively pursued with the aim to develop therapeutics for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. We have been able to identify 9 novel PTP1B inhibitors by means of a computer-aided drug design protocol involving virtual screening with docking simulations under consideration of the effects of ligand solvation in the binding free energy function. Because the newly discovered inhibitors are structurally diverse and reveal a significant potency with IC(50) values lower than 50 microM, all of them can be considered for further development by structure-activity relationship studies. Structural features relevant to the interactions of the newly identified inhibitors with the active-site residues of PTP1B are discussed in detail.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood glucose levels, generally due to defects of insulin action or secretion. Inhibition of α-glucosidase, an enzyme responsible for carbohydrate degradation, is a promising strategy for managing postprandial hyperglycemia in diabetic patients. In this study, two new C-linked diarylheptanoid dimers, kaemgalanganols A (1) and B (2), were isolated from K.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), a metabolic disorder, has the hallmarks of persistent hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and dyslipidemia. Protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) was found to be overexpressed in many tissues in the case of T2DM and involved in the negative regulation of insulin signaling. So, PTP1B inhibition can act as a therapeutic target for T2DM.

Natural products (NPs) play an important role in drug discovery and drug development due to their diverse chemical properties and biological activities. In the present work, an on-line capillary electrophoresis (CE) method was developed and applied to screen protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibitors in NPs. As a generic technique, transverse diffusion of laminar flow profiles (TDLFP) was utilized to mix all reactants in the capillary for on-line enzymatic reaction.

We have successfully designed and assembled a 66-member library of protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTP) inhibitor candidates using α-ketoacid-hydroxylamine (KAHA) ligation. Subsequent in situ enzymatic screening revealed a potent hit (IC = 1.67 μM) against PTP1B, which displayed 6.
