MSI-1436 lactate (Trodusquemine lactate)
MSI-1436 lactate (Trodusquemine lactate) is a selective, non-competitive inhibitor of the enzyme protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B), with an IC50 of 1 μM, 200-fold preference over TCPTP (IC50 of 224 μM).

MSI1436 lactate is a selective, non-competitive inhibitor of the enzyme protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTB-1B), with an IC50 of 1 μM, 200-fold preference over TC-PTP (IC50 of 224 μM).
In HepG2, MSI-1436 (10 µM, 30 min) alone has no effect on phosphorylation of IRβ, but in conjunction with 100 nM insulin, MSI-1436 increases p-IRβ 18-fold over untreated cells and by approximately threefold over cells treated with insulin alone. MSI-1436's inhibition of TCPTP is approximately two logs less than the effect on PTP1B activity, with a resulting IC50 value of 224 µM[1]. MSI-1436 (Trodusquemine, 10 μM) restores ERK phosphorylation in response to mGluR1/5 agonist DHPG in F11 neuronal cells. MSI-1436 (10 uM) rescues DHPG-induced holding currents and restores DSI in LMO4KO BLA neurons[2]. MSI-1436 (0.1-100 µM) blocks PTP1B activity, has insulin-mimetic effects in cultured neuronal cells[3].
MSI-1436 (10 mg/kg, i.p.) causes obesity-dependent body weight, reduces total body fat content and adipocyte size and lipid content of white adipose tissue of mice. MSI-1436 treatment significantly reduces plasma insulin levels. MSI-1436 (10 mg/kg, i.p.) increases phosphorylation of STAT-3 2.7-fold and, in conjunction with 100 U/kg insulin, p-IRβ increases threefold over insulin alone-treated rats[1]. MSI-1436 (Trodusquemine) exhibits anxiolytic effect through a restoration of endocannabinoid (eCB) signaling within the amygdala[2]. MSI-1436 (5 mg/kg, i.p.) has an anti-diabetic effect on diabetic mice, and is sufficient to suppress food intake and cause weight loss in CD1 mice[3].

Protocol
Kinase experiment: Human kinases activities are measured. In brief, 256 DNA-tagged kinases, ligand affinity beads, and MSI-1436 lactate (10 μM) are incubated at room temperature, washed, and then eluted. Phage titer in the eluates is quantitated by real-time quantitative PCR[1].
Cell experiment: Quantitation of phosphatase activity is measured using an intact cell assay. Hep G2 cells are pretreated with 10 μM MSI-1436 lactate or sodium orthovanadate (100 μM, postive control) for 10 min at 37 °C, then incubated with 10 μM pNPP (a cell permeable hydrolysable substrate) for 30 min at 37 °C. Samples of the supernatants are spectrophotometrically analyzed at OD405 for hydolyzed pNP, a direct end product of phosphatase activity[1].
Animal experiment: Male AKR/J mice are randomly placed on ad libitum 10, 45, or 60% fat kcal diets. After 14 weeks, mice are randomly assigned to three treatment groups (n=5 to 8 mice/group); MSI-1436 lactate (initial dose of 10 mg/kg with three subsequent weekly doses of 5 mg/kg, intraperitoneally), vehicle (saline, 10 mL/kg, weekly 4×), or pair-fed (PF). PF animals are injected with saline (weekly 4×) and allotted the amount of food consumed daily by MSI-1436 lactate -treated animals. On day 23, mice are anesthetized and euthanized for blood and tissue collection, respectively. Plasma is obtained following centrifugation of blood 14,000 rpm for 10 min at 4°C[1].
