used for docking studies.29 The crystal structure of SHP2 (PDB
code : 5EHR) obtained from the Protein Data Bank was used as
the receptor with structural defects fixed by the Protein

The predicted binding pose of 1 in the allosteric binding site
of SHP2 (Figure 5). The activity of 1 was mainly attributed to
several strong hydrogen bond interactions and hydrophobic
interactions. The carboxylate makes hydrogen bond interactions
with Arg111 and nitrogen of Thr218 and Thr219. This hydrogen
bond is crucial for the activity, which explains the high activity
of 1 and 11. The hydroxyl groups also make hydrogen bonds
with Glu110, Phe113, Glu249 and Thr253. 2-F in compound 11
makes halogen-π interaction with His114. Bigger substituents in
9 and 10 may result in steric collision with His114, resulting in
loss of activity.
In conclusion, compound 1 with IC50 of 0.097 μM was
obtained from high-throughput screening using chemical libraries
from Korea Chemical Bank. Efforts by structure-activity
relationship to improve SHP2 inhibition activities was not
superior to this parent compound. Compound 1 exerted higher
potency against SHP2 expressing 2D and 3D MDA-MB468 than
SHP099. Further study is underway and will be reported in due
course.
