“…Our efforts to develop modulators of protein tyrosine phosphatases started from 1 H -2,3-dihydroperimidines. 9–14 Using the scaffold hopping strategy, 15,16 we developed 3-aryl-1-oxa-2,8-diazaspiro[4.5]dec-2-enes 11 as PTP1B inhibitors, bis-aryl amides 9 and benzo[ c ][1,2,5]thiadiazoles as SH2-Containing Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase-2 (SHP2) inhibitors. 13 We noticed that the scaffold of thieno[2,3- b ]quinolines showed high similarity with that of 1 H -2,3-dihydroperimidines and might provide novel scaffold to develop novel PTP1B inhibitors ( Fig.…”
