Abstract

We have synthesized and evaluated a series of triaryl sulfonamide-based PTP1B inhibitors in which a difluoro-methylenephosphonate group of a potent lead has been replaced by potential bioisosteric replacements. Several mono- or di-charged compounds (8a, 8b, and 15a) were shown exhibit inhibitory activity in the low micromolar range, demonstrating the feasibility of using this approach in identifying non-phosphonate pTyr mimetics in a small molecular scaffold. These results also provide a useful indication of the relative effectiveness of these pTyr mimetics.
