Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) plays a key role as a negative regulator in insulin signal transduction by deactivating the insulin receptor. Thus, PTP1B inhibition has emerged as a potential therapeutic strategy for curing insulin resistance. In this study, 40 extracts from 18 different plant species were investigated for PTP1B inhibitory activity in vitro. The most promising one, the EtOAc extract of Ficus racemosa, was investigated by high-resolution PTP1B inhibition profiling combined with HPLC-HRMS-SPE-NMR analysis. This led to the identification of isoderrone (1), derrone (2), alpinumisoflavone (3) and mucusisoflavone B (4) as PTP1B inhibitors. IC50 of these compounds were 22.7 +/- 1.7, 12.6 +/- 1.6, 21.2 +/- 3.8 and 2.5 +/- 0.2 mu M, respectively. Kinetics analysis revealed that these compounds inhibited PTP1B non-competitively with K-i values of 21.3 +/- 2.8, 7.9 +/- 1.9, 14.3 +/- 2.0, and 3.0 +/- 0.5 mu M, respectively. These findings support the important role of F. racemosa as a novel source of new drugs and/or as a herbal remedy for treatment of type 2 diabetes.
