Monocyclic thiophenes as protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B inhibitors: capturing interactions with Asp48

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2006 Sep 15;16(18):4941-5. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2006.06.051. Epub 2006 Jun 27.

Abstract

A series of monocyclic thiophenes was designed and synthesized as PTP1B inhibitors. Guided by X-ray co-crystal structural information and computational modeling, rational design led to key interactions with Asp48 and improved inhibitory potency against PTP1B.
