Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) are a family of enzymes essential for numerous cellular processes, and several PTPs have been validated as therapeutic targets for human diseases. Historically, development of drugs targeting PTPs has been highly challenging, leading to stigmatization of these enzymes as undruggable targets. Despite these difficulties, efforts to drug PTPs have persisted, and recent years have seen an influx of new probes, providing opportunities for biological examination of old and new PTP targets. Here we will discuss progress towards drugging PTPs, with special emphasis on development of selective probes with biological activity. We will describe development of new small-molecule orthosteric, allosteric and oligomerization PTP inhibitors, and discuss new studies targeting the receptor PTP subfamily with biologics.
