Site-Specifically Modified Peptide Inhibitors of Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase 1B and T-Cell Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase with Enhanced Stability and Improved In Vivo Long-Acting Activity.

ABSTRACT: Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) and TC-PTP can function in a coordinated manner to regulate diverse biological processes including insulin and leptin signaling, T-cell activation, and tumor antigen presentation, which makes them potential targets for several therapeutic applications. We have previously demonstrated that the lipidated BimBH3 peptide analogues were a new class of promising PTP1B inhibitors with once-weekly antidiabetic potency. Herein, we chemically synthesized two series of BimBH3 analogues via site-specific modification and studied their structure-activity relationship. The screened analogues S2, S6, A2-14, A2-17, A2-20, and A2-21 exhibited an improved PTP1B/TC-PTP dual inhibitory activity and achieved good stability in the
