A critical biological event that contributes to the appearance and progress of cancer and diabetes is the reversible phosphorylation of proteins, a process controlled by protein tyrosine-kinases (PTKs) and protein tyrosine-phosphatases (PTPs). Within the PTPs, PTP1B has gained significant interest since it is a validated target in drug discovery. Indeed, several PTP1B inhibitors have been developed, from both, synthesis and natural products. However, none have been approved by the FDA, due to their poor selectivity and/or pharmacokinetic properties. One of the most significant challenges to the discovery of PTP1B inhibitors (in vitro or in silico) is the use of truncated structures (PTP1B(1-300)), missing valuable information about the mechanisms of inhibition, and se-lectivity of ligands. The present study describes the biochemical characterization of a full-length PTP1B (hPTP1B(1-400)), as well as the description of phenalenones 1-4 and ursolic acid (5) as allosteric modulators. Compounds 1-5 showed inhibitory potential on hPTP1B(1-400), with IC50 values ranging from 12.7 to 82.1 mu M. Kinetic studies showed that 1 and 5 behave as mixed and non-competitive inhibitors, respectively. Circular dichroism experiments confirmed that 1 and 5 induced conformational changes to hPTP1B(1-400). Further insights into the structure of hPTP1B1(-400) were obtained from a homology model, which pointed out that the C-terminus (residues 301-400) is highly disordered. Molecular docking with the homologated model suggested that com-pounds 1 and 3-5 bind to the C-terminal domain, likely inducing conformational changes on the protein. Docking positions of compounds 1, 4, and 5 were refined with molecular dynamics simulations. Importantly, these simulations confirmed the high flexibility of the C-terminus of hPTP1B(1-400), as well as the changes to its rigidity when bound to 1, 4, and 5.
