Abstract

Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP-1B) is an enzyme that plays a critical role in down-regulating insulin signaling through dephosphorylation of the insulin receptor. Studies have shown that PTP-1B knockout mice showed increased insulin sensitivity in muscle and liver as well as resistance to obesity. A series of hydroxy benzofuran methyl ketones and their naturally mimicking dimers and linear and angular furanochalcones and flavones have been evaluated as PTP-1B inhibitors. Screened compounds displayed good inhibitory activity.
