Abstract
Cdc25 phosphatases have been considered promising targets for anticancer development due to the correlation of their overexpression with a wide variety of cancers. In the last two decades, the interest in this subject has considerably increased and many publications have been launched concerning this issue. An overview is constructed based on data analysis of the results of the previous publications covering the years from 1992 to 2021. Thus, the main objective of the current review is to report the chemical structures of Cdc25s inhibitors and answer the question, how to design an inhibitor with better efficacy and lower toxicity?

Abstract
The importance of protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) in the regulation of cellular signalling is well established. Malfunction of PTP activity is also known to be associated with cancer, metabolic syndromes and autoimmune disorders, as well as neurodegenerative and infectious diseases. However, a detailed understanding of the roles played by the PTPs in normal physiology and in pathogenic conditions has been hampered by the absence of PTP-specific small molecule agents. In addition, the therapeutic benefits of modulating this target class are underexplored as a result of a lack of suitable chemical probes. Potent and specific PTP inhibitors could significantly facilitate functional analysis of the PTPs in complex cellular signal transduction pathways and may constitute valuable therapeutics in the treatment of several human diseases. We highlight the current challenges to and opportunities for developing PTP-specific small molecule agents. We also review available selective small molecule inhibitors developed for a number of PTPs, including PTP1B, TC-PTP, SHP2, lymphoid-specific tyrosine phosphatase, haematopoietic protein tyrosine phosphatase, CD45, PTPβ, PTPγ, PTPRO, Vaccinia H1-related phosphatase, mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase-1, mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase-3, Cdc25, YopH, mPTPA and mPTPB.

Abstract
The synthesis of a 5,10-seco steroid containing two double bonds in a AB-macrocycle as well as the preparation of a steroidal skeleton with a cyclobutane fragment is described. The structures of these compounds are different from those of natural steroids, but they are very similar with respect to conformation of the carbon skeleton.

Abstract
Based on molecular modeling studies, macrocyclic inhibitors of phosphatase cdc25B were synthetically derived from steroids. A preliminary SAR for this new template was elaborated. A series of compounds shows inhibition of cdc25B in the low micromolar range and good selectivity versus other phosphatases. The compounds did not show a significant antiproliferative effect in MaTu or HaCaT cells.

Abstract
Dual-specificity protein phosphatases are a subclass of protein tyrosine phosphatases that are uniquely able to hydrolyse the phosphate ester bond on both a tyrosine and a threonine or serine residue on the same protein. Dual-specificity phosphatases have a central role in the complex regulation of signalling pathways that are involved in cell stress responses, proliferation and death. Although this enzyme family is increasingly the target of drug discovery efforts in pharmaceutical companies, a summary of the salient developments in the biology and medicinal chemistry of dual-specificity phosphatases has been lacking. We hope that this comprehensive overview will stimulate further progress in the development of small-molecule inhibitors that could form the basis for a new class of target-directed therapeutic agents.

Abstract
Biologically active natural products can be regarded as evolutionary selected and biologically validated starting points in structural space for the development of compound libraries. For libraries designed and synthesized around a given natural product, a higher hit rate and the identification of biologically relevant hits can be expected, justifying a probably higher investment in the development of the corresponding syntheses. This approach requires the development of complex multistep reaction sequences on the solid phase. Employing the protein phosphatase Cdc25 inhibitor dysidiolide as an example, we demonstrate that this goal can be achieved successfully. The reaction sequences developed led to dysidiolide analogues in overall 8-12 linear steps with the longest sequence on the solid support amounting to up to 11 sequential transformations. The desired products were obtained in overall yields ranging from 6% to 27% and in multimilligram amounts starting from 100 mg of resin. The transformations applied include a variety of very different reaction types widely used in organic synthesis (i.e., an asymmetric cycloaddition employing a removable chiral auxiliary, different organometallic transformations, olefination reactions, different oxidation reactions, acidic hydrolyses, and a nucleophilic substitution). Biological investigation of the eight dysidiolide analogues synthesized showed that they inhibit Cdc25C in the low micromolar range with the IC(50) value varying by a factor of 20 and that they display considerable and differing biological activities in cytotoxicity assays employing different cancer cell lines.

Abstract
Silica gel supported pyrolysis of an azido-homo-oxa steroid led to rearrangement, presumably by a mechanism similar to that of solution phase Schmidt fragmentation, to produce a group of novel inhibitors for the oncogenic cell cycle regulator Cdc25A phosphatase. Cyano-containing acid 17, one of the best inhibitors in this group, inhibited the activity of Cdc25A protein phosphatase reversibly and noncompetitively with an IC(50) value of 2.2 microM. Structure-activity relationships revealed that a phosphate surrogate such as a carboxyl or a xanthate group is required for inhibitory activity, and a hydrophobic alkyl chain, such as the cholesteryl side chain, contributes greatly to the potency. Without the cyano group, acid 26 and xanthate 27 were found to be more selective over Cdc25A (IC(50) = 5.1 microM and 1.1 microM, respectively) than toward CD45 (IC(50) > 100 microM, in each case), a receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase. Several of these inhibitors showed antiproliferative activities in the NCI 60-human tumor cell line screen. These steroidal derived Cdc25 inhibitors provide unique leads for the development of dual-specificity protein phosphatase inhibitors.

Abstract
Based on a previously identified lead structure, SC-alphaalphadelta9, we have developed a versatile new chemical scaffold that can be readily modified to generate libraries of both Tyr and dual specificity phosphatase inhibitors with reduced molecular weight and lipophilicity. The most potent analogue identified to date, aminothiazole 8z, inhibits the dual specificity phosphatase Cdc25B with a Ki of 4.6+/-0.4 microM and a Hill coefficient of 2.

Abstract
One hallmark of neoplasia is the deregulation of cell cycle control mechanisms, which is secondary to altered protein phosphorylation. Dual specificity protein phosphatases uniquely dephosphorylate both phosphoserines/threonines and phosphotyrosines on the same protein substrate. As a class they regulate intracellular signaling through the mitogen activated and stress activated kinases and govern cellular movement through G1/S and G2/M cell cycle checkpoints by affecting the activity of cyclin-dependent kinases. In particular, the Cdc25 phosphatases, which dephosphorylate cyclin-dependent kinases, are overexpressed in many human tumors and this increased expression is associated with a poor prognosis. In addition to expression levels, the intracellular activity of Cdc25 phosphatases is determined by their subcellular distribution and physical proximity to substrates. Small molecules that either inhibit the catalytic activity or alter the subcellular distribution of these dual specificity protein phosphatases could provide effective tools to interrogate the role of phosphorylation pathways and may afford new approaches to the management of cancer.
