Benzylidene-2,4-thiazolidinedione derivatives with substitutions on the phenyl ring at the ortho or para positions of the thiazolidinedione (TZD) group were synthesized as PTP1B inhibitors with IC50 values in a low micromolar range. Compound 3e, the lowest, bore an IC50 of 5.0 microM. In vivo efficacy of 3e as an antiobesity and hypoglycemic agent was evaluated in a mouse model system. Significant improvement of glucose tolerance was observed. This compound also significantly suppressed weight gain and significantly improved blood parameters such as TG, total cholesterol and NEFA. Compound 3e was also found to activate peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) indicating multiple mechanisms of action.

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.

Background: Patients with Alzheimer's Disease (AD) frequently suffer from comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), accompanied by shared common pathologies such as increased inflammation and impaired glucose homeostasis. Beta-secretase 1 (BACE1), the rate limiting enzyme in AD associated beta-amyloid (Aβ) production, is also implicated in metabolic dysfunction and can increase central and peripheral protein levels of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B). PTP1B is a validated target in diabetes and obesity, and is a neuroinflammatory regulator involved in degenerative processes.

Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1b (PTP1b) is a member of the protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) enzyme group and encoded as PTP1N gene. Studies have evidenced an overexpression of the PTP1b enzyme in metabolic syndrome, anxiety, schizophrenia, neurodegeneration, and neuroinflammation. PTP1b inhibitor negatively regulates insulin and leptin pathways and has been explored as an antidiabetic agent in various clinical trials.

The prevalence of small multi-target drugs containing a fluorinated aromatic moiety among approved drugs in the market is due to the unique properties of this halogen atom. With the aim to develop potent antidiabetic agents, a series of phenylsulfonic esters based on the conjugation of the 5-substituted 2-hydroxy-3-nitroacetophenones - with phenylsulfonyl chloride derivatives substituted with a fluorine atom or fluorine-containing (-CF or -OCF) group were prepared. Their structures were characterized using a combination of spectroscopic techniques complemented with a single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis on a representative example.
