Abstract

Inhibiting the Inhibitors, PTP1B as a Therapeutic Target in Myocardial Infarction

Highlights

  • Protein kinase activities are regulated at multiple levels from transcription e.g. mRNA stability and splicing, to translational control and protein turnover through degradation

  • Pharmacological inhibition using a small molecule inhibitor of protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B), trodusquemine (MSI-1436) has been tested over the last 10 years in completed Phase I trials for obesity and diabetes and in breast cancer (NCT02524951)

  • A small-scale (n=92) Phase II trial in diabetes is complete in which inhibition of PTP1Bwas achieved by downregulation using antisense technology (IONISPTP-1BRx, Ionis Pharmaceuticals, https://clinicaltrials.gov/ ID NCT01918865)
