Abstract
Development of allosteric inhibitors may be a viable strategy to discover hypoglycemic drugs targeting PTP1B. Allosteric inhibitors occupying the BB site that is a hydrophobic pocket restrict the WPD loop in an open conformation, preventing the physiological dephosphorylation reaction. Toward the BB site, sixty bromocatechol-chalcone derivatives were designed and synthesized as allosteric inhibitors of PTP1B against diabetes mellitus. The most potent compound LXQ-87 (C8) inhibited PTP1B noncompetitively with an IC50 value of 1.061 ± 0.202 μM. Oral administration of LXQ-87 reduces the fasting blood glucose level and improves glucose tolerance and dyslipidemia in BKS db/db mice suffering from T2DM. LXQ-87 alleviates insulin resistance and promotes cellular glucose uptake by directly binding to intracellular PTP1B.
期刊介绍:
The European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry is a global journal that publishes studies on all aspects of medicinal chemistry. It provides a medium for publication of original papers and also welcomes critical review papers.
A typical paper would report on the organic synthesis, characterization and pharmacological evaluation of compounds. Other topics of interest are drug design, QSAR, molecular modeling, drug-receptor interactions, molecular aspects of drug metabolism, prodrug synthesis and drug targeting. The journal expects manuscripts to present the rational for a study, provide insight into the design of compounds or understanding of mechanism, or clarify the targets.
