Sulphostin-inspired N-phosphonopiperidones as selective covalent DPP8 and DPP9 inhibitors.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Covalent chemical probes and drugs combine unique pharmacologic properties with the availability of straightforward compound profiling technologies via chemoproteomic platforms. These advantages have fostered the development of suitable electrophilic "warheads" for systematic covalent chemical probe discovery. Despite undisputable advances in the last years, the targeted development of proteome-wide selective covalent probes remains a challenge for dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP) 8 and 9 (DPP8/9), intracellular serine hydrolases of the pharmacologically relevant dipeptidyl peptidase 4 activity/structure homologues (DASH) family. Here, we show the exploration of the natural product Sulphostin, a DPP4 inhibitor, as a starting point for DPP8/9 inhibitor development. The generation of Sulphostin-inspired N-phosphonopiperidones leads to derivatives with improved DPP8/9 inhibitory potency, an enhanced proteome-wide selectivity and confirmed DPP8/9 engagement in cells, thereby representing that structural fine-tuning of the warhead's leaving group may represent a straightforward strategy for achieving target selectivity in exoproteases such as DPPs.
