Title: Formylchromone derivatives as a novel class of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B inhibitors.

Authors: Shim YS, Kim KC, Chi DY, Lee KH, Cho H.

Abstract: Formylchromone inhibits a human protein tyrosine phosphatase PTP1B with a IC(50) value of 73 microM. The chemical reactivity of formylchromone was adjusted by substitution at various positions of the formylchromone skeleton. In an initial assessment of the structure-activity relationship, the most potent inhibitor showed an IC(50) of 4.3 microM against PTP1B and strong or medium selectivity against other human PTPases, LAR and TC-PTP. This compound, however, was not selective against microbial PTPases, YPTP1 and YOP. The potency and selectivity of the formylchromone derivatives expecting further improvements provides a novel pharmacophore for the design of drugs for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity.
