Abstract:
Guided by X-ray crystallography, we have extended the structure-activity relationship (SAR) study on an isoxazole carboxylic acid-based PTP1B inhibitor (1) and more potent and equally selective (>20-fold selectivity over the highly homologous T-cell PTPase, TCPTP) PTP1B inhibitors were identified. Inhibitor 7 demonstrated good cellular activity against PTP1B in COS 7 cells.
