Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a serious global health concern affecting over 500 million people. To put it simply, it is one of the most dangerous metabolic illnesses. Insulin resistance is the root cause of 90% of all instances of diabetes, all of which are classified as Type 2 DM. Untreated, it poses a hazard to civilization since it can lead to terrifying consequences and even death. Oral hypoglycemic medicines presently available act in a variety of ways, targeting various organs and pathways. The use of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibitors, on the contrary, is a novel and effective method of controlling type 2 diabetes. PTP1B is a negative insulin signaling pathway regulator; hence, inhibiting PTP1B increases insulin sensitivity, glucose absorption, and energy expenditure. PTP1B inhibitors also restore leptin signaling and are considered a potential obesity target. In this review, we have compiled a summary of the most recent advances in synthetic PTP1B inhibitors from 2015 to 2022 which have scope to be developed as clinical antidiabetic drugs.
