Design, synthesis and evaluation of novel 19F magnetic resonance sensitive protein tyrosine phosphatase inhibitors†‡
Abstract
Fluorine is a highly attractive element for both medicinal chemistry and imaging technologies. To facilitate protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP)-targeted drug discovery and imaging-guided PTP research on fluorine, several highly potent and 19F MR sensitive PTP inhibitors were discovered through a structure-based focused library strategy.
