RESUMO
The isatin group is widespread in nature and is considered to be a privileged building block for drug discovery. In order to develop novel SHP1 inhibitors with fluorescent properties as tools for SHP1 biology research, this work designed and synthesized a series of isatin derivatives. The presentive compound 5a showed good inhibitory activity against SHP1PTP with IC50 of 11 ± 3 µM, displayed about 92% inhibitory rate against MV-4-11 cell proliferation at the concentration of 20 µM, exhibited suitable fluorescent properties with a long emission wavelength and a large Stokes shift, and presented blue fluorescent imaging in HeLa cells with low cytotoxicity. This study could offer chemical tool to further understand SHP1 biology and develop novel SHP1 inhibitors in therapy.
