Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is an attractive target for the treatment of metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and obesity. In this study, a novel fluorescent probe with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics was designed and synthesized. Within the fluorescent probe, a tetraphenylethene core is connected to a peptide sequence that can be specifically recognized and hydrolysed by PTP1B. Due to the dephosphorylation of PTP1B, the fluorescent probe exhibited AIE in a turn-on manner, indicating PTP1B activity. This probe was successfully used to detect PTP1B activity in HepG2 cell lysates. Then, a probe-based method was applied to screen for potential PTP1B inhibitors from a natural product library, and three novel PTP1B inhibitors were discovered. These findings indicated that the proposed approach offered a new avenue for discovering potential PTP1B inhibitors.
期刊介绍:
Spectrochimica Acta, Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy (SAA) is an interdisciplinary journal which spans from basic to applied aspects of optical spectroscopy in chemistry, medicine, biology, and materials science.
The journal publishes original scientific papers that feature high-quality spectroscopic data and analysis. From the broad range of optical spectroscopies, the emphasis is on electronic, vibrational or rotational spectra of molecules, rather than on spectroscopy based on magnetic moments.
Criteria for publication in SAA are novelty, uniqueness, and outstanding quality. Routine applications of spectroscopic techniques and computational methods are not appropriate.
Topics of particular interest of Spectrochimica Acta Part A include, but are not limited to:
Spectroscopy and dynamics of bioanalytical, biomedical, environmental, and atmospheric sciences,
Novel experimental techniques or instrumentation for molecular spectroscopy,
Novel theoretical and computational methods,
Novel applications in photochemistry and photobiology,
Novel interpretational approaches as well as advances in data analysis based on electronic or vibrational spectroscopy.
