In all, 15 aryl-containing phosphonates have been synthesized and tested for their effect on protein-tyrosine phosphatase (PTPase) activity. Two compounds, (naphth-2-yl) difluoromethylphosphonic acid (12) and (napthy-1-yl) difluoromethylphosphonic acid (13) have been found to inhibit dephosphorylation of [32P]insulin receptors by PTP-1B, a protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTPase), with IC50 values of 40-50 microM. Compound 12 competitively inhibited insulin-receptor dephosphorylation by PTP-1B. Compound 12 also inhibited PTP-1B-catalysed dephosphorylation of a synthetic tyrosine phosphorylated substrate poly(Glu80-Tyr20) at the same potency, indicating that 12 acted via interaction with the PTPase. Additionally, 12 inhibited insulin-receptor PTPase(s) and epridermal-growth-factor-receptor PTPase(s) present in solubilized membranes from CHO (Chinese-hamster ovary)/HIRc and A431 cells respectively. IC50 values of 40-50 microM were obtained in all cases with compound 12. Of note is the fact that these compounds did not have any effect on insulin-receptor autophosphorylation. Nine out of the 15 compounds potently inhibited serine/threonine phosphatase PP-2A activity without any effect on serine/threonine phosphatase PP-1 when tested at a concentration as high as 675 microM. The most potent compounds acting toward PP-2A had IC50 values of 45-50 microM. These PP-2A inhibitors could be useful tools for studying serine/threonine-phosphatase-mediated signal transduction. Two compounds, 12 and 13, inhibited both tyrosine phosphatase PTP-1B and serine/threonine phosphatase PP-2A with similar potency; IC50 values being 40-50 microM in both cases. Details of the synthesis of compounds 10, 11 and 13 are given in Supplementary Publication SUP 50177 (6 pages), which has been deposited at the British Library Document Supply Centre, Boston Spa, Wetherby, West Yorkshire LS23 7BQ, U.K., from whom copies can be obtained on the terms indicated in Biochem.

We have shown previously that protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) 1B interacts with insulin receptor and negatively regulates insulin signalling by an N-terminal binding domain [Dadke, Kusari and Chernoff (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275, 23642–23647] and it also negatively regulates integrin signalling through a proline-rich region present in the C-terminus [Liu, Hill and Chernoff (1996) J. Biol. Chem. 271, 31290–31295; Liu, Sells and Chernoff (1998) Curr. Biol. 8, 173–176]. Here we show that PTP1B mutants that are defective in Src homology 3 domain binding fully retain the ability to inhibit insulin signalling, whereas mutants defective in insulin-receptor binding fully retain the ability to inhibit integrin signalling. In contrast, both the C-terminal proline-rich region and the tandem tyrosine residues present in the N-terminal region are required for the activation of Src family kinases. These data show that PTP1B can independently regulate insulin and integrin signals, and that Src might represent a convergence point for regulating signal transduction by this phosphatase.

Methanol extract from Lippia graveolens (Mexican oregano) was studied in order to identify inhibitory bioactives for protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B). Known flavone as lutein (1), and another flavone glycoside such as lutein-7-o-glucoside (2), 6-hydroxy-lutein-7-ohexoside (3) and lutein-7-o-ramnoide (4) were isolated from methanol extract of aerial parts of the Lippia graveolens. All isolates were identified based on extensive spectroscopic data analysis, including UV, IR, NMR, MS and compared with spectroscopic data previously reported. These flavones were evaluated for PTP1B inhibitory activity. Among them, compounds 1 and 3 displayed potential inhibitory activity against PTP1B with IC50 values of 7.01 ± 1.25 μg/ml and 18.4 μg/ml, respectively. In addition, compound 2 and 4 showed moderate inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 23.8 ± 6.21 and 67.8 ± 5.80 μg/ml respectively. Among the four compounds, luteolin was found to be the most potent PTP1B inhibitor compared to the positive control ursolic acid, with an IC50 value of 8.12 ± 1.06 μg/ml. These results indicate that flavonoids constituents contained in Lippia graveolens can be considered as a natural source for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

Background: There has been growing interest in the development of highly potent and selective protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP1B) inhibitors for the past 2-3 decades. Though most PTPs share a common active site motif, the interest in selective inhibitors, particularly against PTP1B is increasing to discover new chemical entities as antidiabetic agents. In the current paradigm to find potent and selective PTP1B inhibitors, which is currently considered as one of the best validated biological targets for non-insulin-dependent diabetic and obese individuals, resistance to insulin due to decreased sensitivity of the insulin receptor is a pathological factor and is also genetically linked, causing type II diabetes. Objectives: Insulin receptor sensitization is performed by a signal transduction mechanism via a selective protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP1B). After the interaction of insulin with its receptor, autophosphorylation of the intracellular part of the receptor takes place, turning it into an active kinase (sensitization). PTP1B is involved in the desensitization of the receptor by dephosphorylation. PTP1b inhibitors delay the receptor desensitization, prolonging insulin effect and making PTP1B as a drug target for the treatment of diabetes II. Therefore, it has become a major target for the discovery of potent drugs for the treatment of type II diabetes and obesity. An attempt has been made in the present study to discuss the latest design and discovery of protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP1B) inhibitors. Methods: Many PTP1B inhibitors such as diaminopyrroloquinazoline, triazines, pyrimido triazine derivatives, 2-(benzylamino)-1-phenylethanol, urea, acetamides and piperazinylpropanols, phenylsulphonamides and phenylcarboxamide, benzamido, arylcarboxylic acid derivatives, arylsupfonyl derivatives, thiazoles, isothiozolidiones and thiazolodinones have been discussed, citing the disease mechanisms. Results: The reader will gain an overview of the structure and biological activity of recently developed PTPs inhibitors. Conclusion: The co-crystallized ligands and the screened inhibitors could be used as a template for the further design of potent congeners.

AbstractProtein tyrosine phosphatase 1B plays a significant role in type 2 diabetes mellitus and other diseases and is therefore considered a new drug target. Within this study, an acetone extract from the lichen Stereocaulon evolutum was identified to possess strong protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B inhibition in a cell-free assay (IC50 of 11.8 µg/mL). Fractionation of this bioactive extract led to the isolation of seven known molecules belonging to the depsidones and the related diphenylethers and one new natural product, i.e., 3-butyl-3,7-dihydroxy-5-methoxy-1(3H)-isobenzofurane. The isolated compounds were evaluated for their inhibition of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B. Two depsidones, lobaric acid and norlobaric acid, and the diphenylether anhydrosakisacaulon A potently inhibited protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B with IC50 values of 12.9, 15.1, and 16.1 µM, respectively, which is in the range of the protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B inhibitory activity of the positive control ursolic acid (IC50 of 14.4 µM). Molecular simulations performed on the eight compounds showed that i) a contact between the molecule and the four main regions of the protein is required for inhibitory activity, ii) the relative rigidity of the depsidones lobaric acid and norlobaric acid and the reactivity related to hydrogen bond donors or acceptors, which interact with protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B key amino acids, are involved in the bioactivity on protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B, iii) the cycle opening observed for diphenylethers decreased the inhibition, except for anhydrosakisacaulon A where its double bond on C-8 offsets this loss of activity, iv) the function present at C-8 is a determinant for the inhibitory effect on protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B, and v) the more hydrogen bonds with Arg221 there are, the more anchorage is favored.

ABSTRACT The human protein tyrosine phosphatase TCPTP exists as two forms: an endoplasmic reticulum-targeted 48-kDa form (TC48) and a nuclear 45-kDa form (TC45). Although targeted to the nucleus, TC45 can exit in response to specific stimuli to dephosphorylate cytoplasmic substrates. In this study, we investigated the downregulation of insulin receptor (IR) signaling by TCPTP. In response to insulin stimulation, the TC48-D182A and TC45-D182A “substrate-trapping” mutants formed stable complexes with the endogenous tyrosine-phosphorylated IR β-subunit in 293 cells. Moreover, in response to insulin stimulation, the TC45-D182A mutant accumulated in the cytoplasm of cells overexpressing the IR and in part colocalized with the IR β-subunit at the cell periphery. These results indicate that the IR may serve as a cellular substrate for both TC48 and TC45. In immortalized TCPTP−/− murine embryo fibroblasts, insulin-induced IR β-subunit tyrosine phosphorylation and protein kinase PKB/Akt activation were enhanced relative to the values in TCPTP+/+ cells. Importantly, the expression of TC45 or TC48 to physiological levels suppressed the enhanced insulin-induced signaling in TCPTP−/− cells. These results indicate that the differentially localized variants of TCPTP may dephosphorylate the IR and downregulate insulin-induced signaling in vivo.
