SHP-2 (IC50 = 0.07 μM)
Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase, Non-Receptor Type 11 (SHP2/PTPN11) (binds to the allosteric pocket at the interface of N-terminal SH2, C-terminal SH2, and PTP domains, stabilizing the autoinhibited conformation) [1]
Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase, Non-Receptor Type 11 (SHP2/PTPN11) (IC50 = 0.071 μM, binds to the interface of N-terminal SH2, C-terminal SH2, and PTP domains to exert allosteric inhibition) [2]

SHP099 exhibits a bioavailability of 46% F and an acceptable oral exposure of 5 mg/kg PO and 565 μM/h. With dose-dependent pathway inhibition and antitumor activity demonstrated in xenograft models, SHP099 is a powerful, selective, highly soluble, orally bioavailable, and effective SHP2 inhibitor[1]. SHP099 taken orally is well tolerated and exhibits dose-dependent anti-tumor activity in the KYSE520 xenograft model[2].

1. SHP099 HCl (referred to as SHP099 in the literature) demonstrates efficacy in mouse tumor xenograft models. When administered to nude mice bearing RTK-driven human cancer cell xenografts, it inhibits tumor growth by suppressing the RAS–ERK signaling pathway in tumor tissues, confirming its in vivo antitumor activity [2]

Biochemical assay. The binding of bis-tyrosylphorphorylated peptides to SHP2's Src Homology 2 (SH2) domains causes allosteric activation of the protein. The release of SHP2's auto-inhibitory interface during the latter activation step makes the SHP2 PTP active and ready for substrate recognition and reaction catalysis. The surrogate substrate DiFMUP was used in a prompt fluorescence assay format to track the catalytic activity of SHP2. Phosphatase reactions were carried out in a 384-well black polystyrene plate with a flat bottom, low flange, and non-binding surface (Corning, Cat# 3575) at room temperature. A final reaction volume of 25 μL was used, and the assay buffer conditions were as follows: pH 7.2, 75 mM NaCl, 75 mM KCl, 1 mM EDTA, 0.05% P-20, and 5 mM DTT are all present in 60 mM HEPES. Using an assay where 0.5 nM of SHP2 was incubated with 0.5 μM of peptide IRS1_pY1172(dPEG8)pY1222 (sequence:H2NLN(pY)IDLDLV(dPEG8)LST(pY)ASINFQK-amide), the inhibitory effect of the tested compounds (concentrations ranging from 0.003 – 100 μM) was observed. The reaction was incubated at 25 oC for 30 minutes (200 μM for 2-593, 100 μM for 1-525 construct) after the surrogate substrate DiFMUP (Invitrogen, cat# D6567, 200 μM) was added. The next step involved adding 5 μL of a 160 μM bpV(Phen) solution (Enzo Life Sciences cat# ALX-270-204) to quench the reaction. At excitation and emission wavelengths of 340 nm and 450 nm, respectively, the fluorescence signal was observed using a microplate reader (Envision, Perki-Elmer). Normalized IC50 regression curve fitting with control-based normalization was used to analyze the inhibitor dose response curves.

1. High-throughput screening assay: A large library of small molecules was screened to identify compounds that can inhibit SHP2 activity. Assays were performed using recombinant SHP2 protein, and the phosphatase activity of SHP2 was measured using a suitable substrate. Compounds that reduced SHP2 phosphatase activity were selected as hit compounds, and SHP099 HCl (SHP099) was identified as a potential candidate from these hits [1]
2. X-ray crystallography assay for binding site identification: Recombinant SHP2 protein was incubated with SHP099 HCl (SHP099) to form a protein-ligand complex. The complex was then crystallized, and X-ray diffraction data were collected. Structural analysis of the diffraction data revealed the binding location of SHP099 HCl at the interface of the N-terminal SH2, C-terminal SH2, and PTP domains of SHP2, confirming the existence of the allosteric binding pocket [1]
3. SHP2 phosphatase activity inhibition assay: Recombinant SHP2 protein was mixed with different concentrations of SHP099 HCl (SHP099) and a specific phosphopeptide substrate. The reaction was initiated under optimized buffer conditions, and the amount of dephosphorylated product was measured using a detection method (e.g., fluorescence or absorbance-based assay) to calculate the phosphatase activity of SHP2. The IC50 value of SHP099 HCl against SHP2 was determined to be 0.071 μM by fitting the dose-response curve of activity inhibition [2]

In a 96-well plate culture, KYSE-520 cells (30,000 cells/well) are grown overnight and then treated with SHP2 inhibitors for two hours at 37 °C at concentrations of 20, 6.6, 2.2, 0.74, 0.24, 0.08, and 0.027 μM. 30 μL of the lysis buffer included with the SureFire p-ERK assay kit is added to end the incubations.

1. RTK-driven cancer cell proliferation assay: Human cancer cell lines with activated RTK signaling (e.g., lung cancer or breast cancer cell lines with RTK mutations) were seeded in culture plates. After adherence, the cells were treated with different concentrations of SHP099 HCl (SHP099) and cultured for a specific period (e.g., 48–72 hours). Cell viability was measured using a cell counting kit or colorimetric assay (e.g., MTT assay), and the inhibitory effect of SHP099 HCl on cell proliferation was evaluated by calculating the growth inhibition rate at each concentration [2]
2. Western blot analysis for signaling pathway detection: RTK-driven cancer cells treated with SHP099 HCl (SHP099) were lysed to extract total proteins. The protein lysates were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and transferred to a membrane. The membrane was incubated with primary antibodies against key proteins in the RAS–ERK signaling pathway (e.g., phosphorylated ERK, total ERK) and secondary antibodies. Chemiluminescent detection was used to quantify the expression levels of phosphorylated proteins, confirming that SHP099 HCl suppresses the activation of the RAS–ERK pathway [2]

10, 30, or 100 mg/kg qd by oral gavage.
Female nude mice were inoculated subcutaneously (3 x 106 cells) in a suspension containing 50% phenol red-free matrigel (BD Biosciences) in Hank’s balanced salt solution with parental KYSE-520 cells.

1. Mouse tumor xenograft model establishment and treatment: Nude mice (both male and female) were subcutaneously injected with RTK-driven human cancer cells to establish tumor xenograft models. When tumors reached a specific volume (e.g., 100–200 mm³), the mice were randomly divided into treatment and control groups. SHP099 HCl (SHP099) was formulated in a suitable vehicle (e.g., aqueous solution with solubilizers or organic solvent mixtures, specific formulation not detailed) and administered orally at a predetermined frequency (e.g., once or twice daily, specific frequency not detailed). Tumor volume and mouse body weight were measured regularly (e.g., every 2–3 days) for the duration of the experiment (e.g., 2–3 weeks). At the end of the experiment, tumors were excised for further analysis (e.g., western blot to detect RAS–ERK pathway activity) [2]

1. SHP2, encoded by the PTPN11 gene, is a non-receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase that participates in cell growth and differentiation through the MAPK signaling pathway and plays a role in programmed cell death (PD-1/PD-L1) pathway. As an oncoprotein associated with various cancers and a potential immunomodulator, targeting SHP2 has important therapeutic significance. SHP099 HCl (SHP099) is a potent and selective allosteric inhibitor of SHP2 developed through high-throughput screening and structure-based drug design [1]. 2. SHP2 is the first reported oncogenic tyrosine phosphatase; activation mutations of SHP2 are associated with developmental disorders (e.g., Noonan syndrome) and various cancers (leukemia, lung cancer, breast cancer, neuroblastoma). It mainly regulates cell survival and proliferation through the RAS-ERK pathway and mediates the PD-1/BTLA immune checkpoint pathway. SHP099 HCl (SHP099) can inhibit SHP2 activity, thereby inhibiting tumor cell growth, verifying that the pharmacological inhibition of SHP2 is a promising cancer treatment strategy [2]
