Abstract:

Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is a key negative regulator of insulin signaling pathway, and more and more studies have shown that it is a potential target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In this study, 17 new 4-thiazolinone derivatives were designed and synthesized as novel PTP1B inhibitors, and ADMET prediction confirmed that these compounds were to be drug-like. In vitro enzyme activity experiments were performed on these compounds, and it was found that a plurality of compounds had good inhibitory activity and high selectivity against PTP1B protein. Among them, compound 7p exhibited the best inhibitory activity with an IC50 of 0.92 μM. The binding mode of compound 7p and PTP1B protein was explored, revealing the reason for its high efficiency. In addition, molecular dynamics simulations for the PTP1BWT and PTP1Bcomp#7p systems revealed the effects of compound 7p on PTP1B protein at the molecular level. In summary, the study reported for the first time that 4-thiazolinone derivatives as a novel PTP1B inhibitor had good inhibitory activity and selectivity for the treatment of T2DM, providing more options for the development of PTP1B inhibitors.
