Therapeutic inhibition of protein tyrosine phosphatase activity is a compelling yet challenging approach to the treatment of human disease. Toward this end, a library of 40 gold complexes with the general formula R(3)P-Au-Cl was screened to identify novel inhibitors of PTP activity. The most promising inhibitor obtained for the lymphoid tyrosine phosphatase LYP, (2-pyridine)(Ph(2))P-Au-Cl, is one of the most potent and selective LYP inhibitors identified to date with an IC(50) of 1.5 +/- 0.3 mic ...[more]
