Synthesis, in vitro and computational studies of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B inhibition of a small library of 2-arylsulfonylaminobenzothiazoles with antihyperglycemic activity
interactions between the nitrogroup in both compounds and the catalytic amino acid residues Arg 221 and Ser 216. Both compounds were evaluated for their in vivo antihyperglycemic activity in a type 2 diabetes mellitus rat model, showing significant lowering of plasma glucose concentration, during the 7 h post-intragastric administration.
