The medical eld now needs more novel drugs to treat obesity and type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) than ever before. Obesity and T2D are both characterized by resistance to the hormones leptin and insulin. PTP-1B is a promising target for drug growth as strong genetic, pharmacological and biochemical evidence points to the possibility of treating diabetes and obesity by blocking the PTP-1B enzyme.Studies have also found that PTP-1B is over expressed in patients with diabetes and obesity, suggesting that inhibiting PTP-1B may be a useful technique in their care. There aren't any clinically used PTP-1B inhibitors, despite the fact that numerous naturally occurring PTP-1B inhibitors demonstrated great therapeutic promise. This is most likely because of their low activity or lack of selectivity. It is still important to look for more effective and focused PTP-1B inhibitors. A few organo vanadium metal complexes were synthesized, characterized, and binding studies on vanadium complexes with PTP-B were also performed using Fluorescence Emission Spectroscopy. Additionally, we theoretically (molecular modeling) and experimentally (enzyme kinetics) examined the PTP-1B inhibitory effects of these vanadium metal complexes and found that they have excellent PTP-1B inhibitory properties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
