(S)-isothiazolidinone ((S)-IZD) heterocyclic phosphotyrosine
(pTyr) mimetics that when incorporated into dipeptides are
exceptionally potent, competitive, and reversible inhibitors of
protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B). The crystal structure of PTP1B in complex with our most potent inhibitor 12
revealed that the (S)-IZD heterocycle interacts extensively with
the phosphate binding loop precisely as designed in silico. Our
data provide strong evidence that the (S)-IZD is the most
potent pTyr mimetic reported to date.
