Abstract: Known PTP1B inhibitors with bis-anionic moieties exhibit potent inhibitory activity, good selectivity, however, they are incapable of penetrating cellular membranes. Based upon our finding of a new pharmacophoric group in inhibition of PTP1B and the structural characteristics of the binding pocket of PTP1B, a series of bis-arylethenesulfonic acid ester derivatives were designed and synthesized. These novel molecules, particularly Y-shaped bis-arylethenesulfonic acid ester derivatives, exhibited high PTP1B inhibitory activity, moderate selectivity, and great potential in penetrating cellular membranes (compound 7p, CLogP=9.73, Papp=9.6×10-6cm/s; IC50=140, 1290 and 920nM on PTP1B, TCPTP and SHP2, respectively). Docking simulations suggested that these Y-shaped inhibitors might interact with multiple secondary binding sites in addition to the catalytic site of PTP1B.
