Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Inhibitors of SHIP2 (SH2 domain-containing inositol 5’-phosphatase 2) are considered to have great potential of treating type 2 diabetes accompanying dementia of Alzheimer's type. In this study, we first identified two novel inhibitors of SHIP2 using in silico screening, in vitro assay for detecting SHIP2 inhibition, and cell based assay for evaluating effect on insulin signaling. These two inhibitors were found to possess more potent SHIP2 inhibitory activities than those of known inhibitors such as AS1949490 and CPDA. We next constructed docking models of two new inhibitors with SHIP2 and evaluated interaction energies using quantum mechanics-based method. It was suggested that these inhibitors could form more stable hydrogen bonds with SHIP2 than CPDA, which would contribute their more potent inhibitory activities.
