A library of natural products and their derivatives was screened for inhibition of protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) 1B, which is a validated drug target for the treatment of obesity and type II diabetes. Of those active in the preliminary assay, the most promising was compound <b>2</b> containing a novel pyrrolopyrazoloisoquinolone scaffold derived by treating radicicol (<b>1</b>) with hydrazine. This nitrogen-atom augmented radicicol derivative was found to be PTP1B selective relative to othe ...[more]
