[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is a validated target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. The discovery of selective inhibitors with drug-like properties has proven to be challenging because there are [about]80 PTP family members that share a similar and positively charged active site. To overcome these challenges, we have pursued two novel approaches for the covalent inactivation of PTP1B. Exo-affinity labeling agents exploit covalent reactions with amino acids outside the enzyme active site to gain both affinity and selectivity. We prepared several affinity labeling agents using a 12-step convergent synthesis. Enzyme assays revealed that some of these agents are capable of inactivating the enzyme by covalent modification. In another project, we prepared a low molecular weight mimic of the oxidized form of PTP1B that is generated in cells, during insulin signaling events. Seeking molecules capable of covalent capture of oxidized PTP1B, we treated this chemical model with several carbon nucleophiles, such as 1,3-diketones and sulfone-stabilized carbon anions. These carbon nucleophiles readily reacted with the model compound, under mild conditions to give stable adducts. Inactivation experiments revealed that 1,3-diketones are capable of inactivating the oxidized PTP1B at micromolar concentrations.

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Phytochemical are compounds that occur naturally in plants. These compounds are what give many foods their distinct color and flavor. There are five major types of phytochemicals; phenolic compounds, terepenes, betalains, glucosinolates, and organic acids. This work focused on a breakdown product of glucosinolates, isothiocyanates, which are found in Brassica, and are common in most diets. Isothiocyanates have a general structure of R-N=C=S, with an electron deficient carbon that is subject to nucleophilic attack by thiols to produce dithiocarbamates. This work investigated the inactivation of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B by isothocyanates, and found that this occurs via a covalent, reversible mechanism. Affinity labels were originally used to elucidate the active site of many proteins. More recently however, much attention has been given to the use of an affinity label to covalently label a protein. It is with this technique of covalent attachment to our protein of interest that an exo-affinity labeling molecule was designed. The kinetics, stability, and mechanism of these molecules with protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B are evaluated here.

Exo-affinity labeling agents are compounds that achieve selectivity by modifying non-catalytic residues in a protein. They have been utilized as tools in molecular biology and to make successful drugs for protein targets. Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is a validated drug target for type II diabetes, obesity and cancer. However, no compounds have been FDA approved for PTP1B due to selectivity and bioavailability issues with traditional compounds. We propose that exo-affinity labeling agents can be used to achieve selectivity in PTP1B. In this work we have designed, synthesized, and characterized the first exo-affinity for PTP1B. Using this work we can design better exo-affinity labeling agents that can be selective for PTP1B. This may have implications on drug design and general knowledge of protein signaling pathways.

Methanol extract from Lippia graveolens (Mexican oregano) was studied in order to identify inhibitory bioactives for protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B). Known flavone as lutein (1), and another flavone glycoside such as lutein-7-o-glucoside (2), 6-hydroxy-lutein-7-ohexoside (3) and lutein-7-o-ramnoide (4) were isolated from methanol extract of aerial parts of the Lippia graveolens. All isolates were identified based on extensive spectroscopic data analysis, including UV, IR, NMR, MS and compared with spectroscopic data previously reported. These flavones were evaluated for PTP1B inhibitory activity. Among them, compounds 1 and 3 displayed potential inhibitory activity against PTP1B with IC50 values of 7.01 ± 1.25 μg/ml and 18.4 μg/ml, respectively. In addition, compound 2 and 4 showed moderate inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 23.8 ± 6.21 and 67.8 ± 5.80 μg/ml respectively. Among the four compounds, luteolin was found to be the most potent PTP1B inhibitor compared to the positive control ursolic acid, with an IC50 value of 8.12 ± 1.06 μg/ml. These results indicate that flavonoids constituents contained in Lippia graveolens can be considered as a natural source for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
