• evaluated against their antioxidant activity and exhibited promising activity. Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is essential in the dephosphorylation of the activated insulin receptor, and inhibition of this enzyme would be an excellent strategy for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Ahn and co

• -workers [82] synthesized and evaluated several 1,2-naphthoquinones substituted at position C4 with alkyl- or arylamino groups for their inhibition of the PTP1B protein. Furthermore, to discover new effective anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents, Gouda and co-workers [83] synthesized various compounds in

• extensive spectroscopic analysis and by comparison with the previously reported analogues. In a bioassay, compounds 1, 2 and 4 exhibited interesting inhibitory activities in vitro against PTP1B and NF-κB. Keywords: Clavularia viridis; Lemnalia flava; NF-κB; PTP1B; sesquiterpenoid; soft coral, terpenes

• further support of the assigned structure for 6 (Figure 1). Thus, compound 6 was determined as a C-1 isomer of ent-1-hydroxyalloaromadendrene (6a), namely, claaromadendrene. In bioassays, all the isolated compounds were tested for protein tyrosine phosphase-1B (PTP1B) and NF-κB inhibitory activity. In the

• PTP1B inhibitory assay, the inhibitory effects of compounds 1–8 were evaluated against PTP1B, and the result showed that compounds 1, 2 and 4 had a moderate PTP1B inhibitory activity with IC50 values of 18.8, 21.8 and 15.6 μM, respectively. The known PTP1B inhibitor oleanolic acid (IC50 = 3.0 μM) were

• , Wu and co-workers found some pyrazolo[5,1-a]isoquinoline derivatives showing activities for the inhibition of CDC25B, TC-PTP, and PTP1B [4]. It has been proved that the physical, chemical, and biological activity of organic molecules can be dramatically improved by substitution of hydrogen with

• inhibitors (2000) Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) are part of a superfamily of enzymes that catalyze protein tyrosine dephosphorylation. They are key regulators in various, crucial kinase-dependent signal transduction pathways and act to counterbalance the kinases. In particular, PTP1B has attracted

• considerable attention for its role in the complex insulin-signaling pathway. It has been shown that overexpression of PTP1B contributes to diabetes and obesity [105][106]. Therefore, inhibititors of PTP1B may have potential as treatment for type-2 diabetes [107][108][109][110]. Hydrolytically-stable

• phosphotyrosyl mimetics have been developed as PTP1B inhibitors, including molecules such as 131 containing an α,α-difluoromethylenephosphonic (DFMP) moiety (Figure 7). In particular, peptides bearing a phosphonodifluoromethylphenylalanine (F2Pmp) group such as 130 have been shown to be among the most potent
