Since its development, the ionophore BAPTA (1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)-ethane-N,N,N’,N’-tetraacetic acid) has been used unchanged in calcium sensing applications. In this work we present a comprehensive experimental and theoretical study of novel alterations in the structure of BAPTA, with a focus on the systematic modification of the chain connecting the two aromatic rings of the molecule (denoted as “linker”). A bis-(diethylamino)xantene fluorophore was also attached to the structures in a fixed position and the structure-fluorescence response relationship of these molecules was investigated in addition. The effect of the linker's length, the number of oxygen atoms in this chain and even the removal of one of the rings was tested; these all proved to significantly alter the characteristics of the compounds. For example, it was found that the second aromatic ring of BAPTA is not essential for the turn-on of the fluorescence. We also demonstrated that successful sensing can be realized even by replacing the chain with a single oxygen atom, which suggests the availability of a new calcium binding mode of the chelator. The reliable turn-on characteristic, the steep Ca2+ fluorescence titration curve and the intense fluorescence emission combine to make this compound a prospective candidate as a calcium sensing molecular probe in diagnostic neurobiological applications.

The overexpression of PTP-LAR could cause the insulin resistance, so PTP-LAR might be a promising target for treating diabetes. In this study, we applied the computer modeling methods with fragment replace approach to screen the fragment database by targeting PTP domain and site B with the aim to discover potent and selective PTP-LAR inhibitors. A series of novel 4-thiazolidone derivatives were gained. The results of their ADMET predictions indicated that these new compounds might become drug candidates. The series of these derivatives were synthesized. Subsequently, their PTP-LAR inhibitory activities were assayed. The compound7d showed highly selectivity for PTP-LAR (10.41 μM) over its close homolog PTP1B (IC50=44.40 μM), SHP2 (IC50>122.81 μM) and CDC25B (IC50>122.81 μM) and docking and molecular dynamics simulation were applied to propose the most likely binding mode of compound7d with PTP-LAR. Thus, our findings reported here may pave a way for discovering potential selective PTP-LAR inhibitors.
