Abstract
Two series of 5-aryl-furan derivatives bearing a phenylalanine- or isoleucine-derived rhodanine moiety were identified as competitive protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibitors. Among the compounds studied, 5g was found to have the best PTP1B inhibitory potency (IC50 = 2.66 ± 0.16 µM) and the best cell division cycle 25 homolog B (CDC25B) inhibitory potency (IC50 = 0.25 ± 0.02 µM). Enzymatic data together with molecular modeling results demonstrated that the introduction of a sec-butyl group at the 2-position of the carboxyl group remarkably improved the PTP1B inhibitory activity.
