Trodusquemine is an aminosterol (polyamine steroid conjugate) that inhibits protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) activity. The compound exhibits broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity and numerous regenerative, neuroprotective, anti-atherosclerotic, antitumor, antiangiogenic, antiobesity, and anxiolytic properties. Phase I clinical trials of trodusquemine have demonstrated good tolerability, but several planned phase II trials were halted due to financial difficulties of the developer.
