Abstract
This study describes the design, synthesis, and evaluation of a novel series of phenylthiosemicarbazide-phenoxy-1,2,3-triazole-N-phenylacetamide derivatives (7a-l) as dual inhibitors of α-glucosidase and protein tyrosine phosphatase 1-B (PTB-1B). The latter enzymes are two important targets in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The in vitro obtained data demonstrated that all title compounds 7a-l were more potent than the standard inhibitor acarbose against α-glucosidase while only four derivatives (7a, 7g, 7h, and 7h) were more potent than the standard inhibitor suramin against PTP-1B. Furthermore, these data showed that the most potent α-glucosidase inhibitor was compound 7i, with sixfold higher inhibitory activity than acarbose, and the most potent PTP-1B inhibitor was compound 7a with 3.5-fold higher inhibitory activity than suramin. Kinetic studies of compounds 7i and 7a revealed that they inhibited their target enzymes in a competitive mode. The docking study demonstrated that compounds 7i and 7a well occupied the active site pockets of α-glucosidase and PTP-1B, respectively. In silico pharmacokinetic and toxicity assays of the most potent compounds were performed, and the obtained results were compared with those of the standard inhibitors.

Trifonov RE, Ostrovskii VA. Tetrazoles and Related Heterocycles as Promising Synthetic Antidiabetic Agents. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:17190. [PMID: 38139019 PMCID: PMC10742751 DOI: 10.3390/ijms242417190] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2023] [Revised: 12/01/2023] [Accepted: 12/04/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Tetrazole heterocycle is a promising scaffold in drug design, and it is incorporated into active pharmaceutical ingredients of medications of various actions: hypotensives, diuretics, antihistamines, antibiotics, analgesics, and others. This heterocyclic system is metabolically stable and easily participates in various intermolecular interactions with different biological targets through hydrogen bonding, conjugation, or van der Waals forces. In the present review, a systematic analysis of the activity of tetrazole derivatives against type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been performed. As it was shown, the tetrazolyl moiety is a key fragment of many antidiabetic agents with different activities, including the following: peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) agonists, protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibitors, aldose reductase (AR) inhibitors, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) agonists, G protein-coupled receptor (GPCRs) agonists, glycogen phosphorylases (GP) Inhibitors, α-glycosidase (AG) Inhibitors, sodium glucose co-transporter (SGLT) inhibitors, fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) inhibitors, IkB kinase ε (IKKε) and TANK binding kinase 1 (TBK1) inhibitors, and 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1). In many cases, the tetrazole-containing leader compounds markedly exceed the activity of medications already known and used in T2DM therapy, and some of them are undergoing clinical trials. In addition, tetrazole derivatives are very often used to act on diabetes-related targets or to treat post-diabetic disorders.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a serious global health concern affecting over 500 million people. To put it simply, it is one of the most dangerous metabolic illnesses. Insulin resistance is the root cause of 90% of all instances of diabetes, all of which are classified as Type 2 DM. Untreated, it poses a hazard to civilization since it can lead to terrifying consequences and even death. Oral hypoglycemic medicines presently available act in a variety of ways, targeting various organs and pathways. The use of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibitors, on the contrary, is a novel and effective method of controlling type 2 diabetes. PTP1B is a negative insulin signaling pathway regulator; hence, inhibiting PTP1B increases insulin sensitivity, glucose absorption, and energy expenditure. PTP1B inhibitors also restore leptin signaling and are considered a potential obesity target. In this review, we have compiled a summary of the most recent advances in synthetic PTP1B inhibitors from 2015 to 2022 which have scope to be developed as clinical antidiabetic drugs.

Abstract
Lead optimization represents the tedious process of fine-tuning lead compounds from biologically active hits to suitable drug candidates for clinical trials. By chemically modifying a hit structure, an improved compound can be obtained in terms of activity, selectivity, and pharmacokinetic ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion) properties. The carboxylic acid moiety is known to be a crucial functionality in many pharmaceutically active compounds. Despite its common use as a key functionality in drugs, its presence in a lead molecule is often associated with poor pharmacokinetic properties and toxicity. In this literature overview, we discuss how the shortcomings of a carboxylic acid can be circumvented by replacing this functionality with bioisosteres. In this way, the positive aspects of this moiety, such as its activity, for example, by virtue of its capacity to form hydrogen bonds, can be maintained or even improved. To that end, we provide an overview of the most promising carboxylic acid bioisosteres and discuss a selection of synthetic routes towards the main functionalities.

Design, synthesis, kinetic, molecular dynamics, and hypoglycemic effect characterization of new and potential selective benzimidazole derivatives as Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase 1B inhibitors.

Abstract
Protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is a negative regulator of insulin signaling pathway and has been validated as a therapeutic target for type 2 diabetes. A wide variety of scaffolds have been included in the structure of PTP1B inhibitors, one of them is the benzimidazole nucleus. Here, we report the design and synthesis of a new series of di- and tri- substituted benzimidazole derivatives including their kinetic and structural characterization as PTP1B inhibitors and hypoglycemic activity. Results show that compounds 43, 44, 45, and 46 are complete mixed type inhibitors with a Ki of 12.6 μM for the most potent (46). SAR type analysis indicates that a chloro substituent at position 6(5), a β-naphthyloxy at position 5(6), and a p-benzoic acid attached to the linker 2-thioacetamido at position 2 of the benzimidazole nucleus, was the best combination for PTP1B inhibition and hypoglycemic activity. In addition, molecular dynamics studies suggest that these compounds could be potential selective inhibitors from other PTPs such as its closest homologous TCPTP, SHP-1, SHP-2 and CDC25B. Therefore, the compounds reported here are good hits that provide structural, kinetic, and biological information that can be used to develop novel and selective PTP1B inhibitors based on benzimidazole scaffold.

Abstract
Rohitukine (RH) was extracted from the stem bark of Dysoxylum binectariferum Hook. It was derivatized to different arylsulphanmides by treating with the corresponding aryl sulphonyl chlorides. These derivatives were tested in-vitro on protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibition. Among these the active compounds K2, K3, K5, and K8 significantly inhibited the PTP1B by 51.3%, 65.6%, 71.9%, and 55.9% respectively at 10 µg/ml, the results were also supported by in-silico docking experiments. The most potent compound K5 was analyzed for antidiabetic and antidyslipidemic activity in vivo. It showed a marked reduction in blood glucose level (random and fasting) and serum insulin level in db/db mice. It improved glucose intolerance as ascertained by the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). These NCEs (New Chemical Entities) also lowered cholesterol and triglyceride profiles while improved high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in db/db mice. The K5 was further evaluated for antiadipogenic activity on MDI (Methylisobutylxanthine, dexamethasone, and insulin)-induced adipogenesis. where it significantly inhibited MDI-induced adipogenesis in 3 T3-L1 preadipocytes, at 10 µM and 20 µM concentration. These results were compared with the parent compound RH which inhibited 35% and 45% lipid accumulation while the RH analog K5 inhibited the lipid accumulation by 41% and 51% at 10 and 20 µM concentration, respectively. These results well corroborated with in-silico studies.

Abstract
Developing protein tyrosine phosphatase-1B (PTP1B) inhibitors is an important strategy to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Most existing ionic PTP1B inhibitors aren't of clinical useful due to their low cell-permeability, however. Herein, we introduced a series of lipid-like acid-based (salicylic acid) modules to prepare PTP1B inhibitors, and demonstrated a marked improvement of cell-permeability while maintaining excellent PTP1B inhibitory activity (e.g. compound B12D, IC50 = 0.37 μM against PTP1B and Papp = 1.5 × 10-6 cm/s). We believe that this strategy can be widely utilized to modify potent lead compounds with low cell-permeability.
