A series of 2,4,6‐trihydroxychalcone derivatives were synthesized and identified as reversible and competitive protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) 1B inhibitors with IC 50 values in the micromolar range. Compound 4a had the greatest in vitro inhibition activity against PTP1B (IC 50 = 0.27 ± 0.01 μ m ) and the best selectivity (6.9‐fold) for PTP1B relative to T‐cell protein tyrosine phosphatases. The compounds identified herein provide a foundation on which to design specific inhibitors of PTP1B and other PTPs.
