RESUMO
A series of di-indolinone derivatives was designed and synthesized to optimize our lead compounds basing on molecular docking study as PTP1B inhibitors. Successive enzymatic assay identified the synthetic di-indolinone as novel PTP1B inhibitors with low micromole-ranged inhibitory activity and at least several-fold selectivity over other tested homologous PTPs.

A series of noscapine analogues have been synthesized via 13-step reaction starting from 2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde. Anti-tumor activities of these compounds were evaluated against HL-60 cell lines in vitro by the standard MTT assay. It was found that most of these derivatives showed appreciable inhibitory activity against HL-60 and tubulin polymerization. The results also indicated that the potency of compound 31 is about three times more than that ofnoscapine against HL-60 cell line and tubulin polymerization. Moreover, it induced a massive accumulation of cells in G2/M phase. These results showed noscapine and its derivatives were worth to be intensively studied further.
