pentas/phosphatase

α,α-Difluoro-benzyl phosphonates are currently the most popular class of phosphotyrosine mimetics. Structurally derived from the natural substrate phosphotyrosine, they constitute classical bioisosteres and have enabled the development of potent inhibitors of protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTP) and

Protein phosphatase-1 (PP1) and protein phosphatase-2A (PP2A) are responsible for the dephosphorylation of the majority of phosphoserine/threonine residues in cells. In this study, we show that (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) and 1,2,3,4,6-penta-O-galloyl-β-D-glucose (PGG), polyphenolic

The inhibition of Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity by various constituents of Moutan Cortex and Paeoniae Radix was studied. 1,2,3,4,6-Penta-O-galloyl-beta-D-glucose (PGG), a major component of both crude drugs, strongly inhibited Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity (IC50 = 2.5 x 10(-6) M), whereas galloylpaeoniflorin,

The inhibition of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is of substantial interest for the treatment of type-2 diabetes mellitus. Using an in vitro enzyme assay with human recombinant PTP1B 1,2,3,4,6-penta-O-galloyl-D-glucopyranose was isolated from the roots of Paeonia lactiflora as an inhibitor

This review briefly covers recent literature of research on the phosphoryl transfer mechanism of PKA. Combining experimental and theoretical calculation results on enzymes with experimentally observed biomimic activities of phosphoryl amino acids and a small molecular model of catalytic core in PKA,

There is an urgent clinical need for chemotherapeutic and chemopreventive drugs for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBCa). Extending on our recent work, we hypothesize that the herbal compound 1,2,3,4,6-penta-O-galloyl-beta-D-glucose (PGG) can inhibit the growth and metastasis of TNBCa xenograft and
