Biochemical and Structural Studies of Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase PTP‐PEST (PTPN12) in Search of Small Molecule Inhibitors

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

An in-house molecule library was screened using in silico molecular docking, and a myo-inositol derivative was identified as a potent hit molecule. The invitro biochemical assays validated that J1-65 inhibits PTP-PEST activity competitively and the inhibitor binding stabilizes the protein-ligand complex. ABSTRACT PTP-PEST (also known as PTPN12) regulates cellular signaling and transduction pathways by dephosphorylating its substrate.
