RK-682 is the calcium salt of 3-hexadecanoyl-5-hydroxymethyl-tetronic acid, a naturally-occurring specific inhibitor of protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTPase). specifically PTP1B. RK-682 is reported to inhibit dephosphorylation activity of CD45 (IC50 = 54 microM) and VHR (IC50 = 2.0 microM), and to arrest cell cycle progress at the G1/S transition. Studies with RK-682 and derivatives have demonstrated efficacy in inhibiting HIV-1 protease activity. RK-682 also displays activity against heparanase function, a protein indicated as operative in tumor cell invasion and angiogenesis.
