2-(oxalyl-amino)-benzoic acid

**Description:** 2-(Oxalyl-amino)-benzoic acid is a small molecule compound belonging to the class of acylaminobenzoic acids. It is functionally related to anthranilic acid and has been primarily studied as a general, reversible, competitive inhibitor of protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs). The compound binds to the active site of PTPs, mimicking the natural substrate and forming hydrogen bonds with key residues in the enzyme's signature motif. This mechanism makes it an important scaffold for developing selective PTP inhibitors, which are considered potential therapeutic agents for diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and inflammation. However, as of now it is classified as an experimental or discovery agent without approved clinical indications[1][3][4].
