proliferation and activating T cell immune responses toward cancer cells. In this study, we report the identification of an allosteric SHP2 inhibitor 1-(4-(6-bromonaphthalen-2-yl)thiazol-2-yl)-4-methylpiperidin-4-amine (23) that locks SHP2 in a closed conformation by binding to the interface of the N-terminal SH2, C-terminal SH2, and phosphatase domains. Compound 23 suppresses MAPK signaling pathway and YAP
