| Description |
JTT 551 is selective a protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibitor, with Kis of 0.22 μM and 9.3 μM for PTP1B and TCPTP (T-cell protein tyrosine phosphatase), respectively; JTT 551 can be used in the research of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

JTT 551 is selective a protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibitor, with Kis of 0.22 μM and 9.3 μM for PTP1B and TCPTP (T-cell protein tyrosine phosphatase), respectively. JTT 551 shows low affinity at CD45 PTP (CD45) and leucocyte common antigen-related (LAR) PTP with Kis of both >30 μM. Furthermore, JTT-551 (10 and 30 μM) enhances the insulin-induced deoxyglucose uptake in a dosedependent manner[1].

| In Vivo |
JTT 551 (3 mg/kg, 30 mg/kg, p.o.) dose-dependently decreases blood glucose level on Days 7, 14 and 28 in db/db Mice. JTT 551 also significantly reduces triglyceride (TG) level at 30 mg/kg on Day 7 but does not alter insulin and total cholesterol (TC) levels[1].

| Animal Admin |
Mice[1] Db/db mice are used in the assay. JTT 551 at doses of 3 or 30 mg/kg or pioglitazone at 3 mg/kg is administered orally to 6-week-old male db/db mice (n = 5) once daily for 4 weeks. Body weight is measured twice weekly and blood samples are collected from the orbital venous plexus before dosing on Days 7, 14 and 28. Blood glucose, insulin, triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) levels are determined at the respective blood-sampling time points, and the haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level is determined before dosing on Day 28. HbA1c level is measured[1].
