(a) Selected pharmacophore hypothesis 06 for PTP1B inhibitors consisting of two hydrogen bond acceptors A (green), two hydrophobic groups H (cyan), and an aromatic ring R (orange). Distances between the features were expressed in Å, with a tolerance sphere of radii ±0.8 Å. (b) Heatmap of Ligand Profiler revealed the best pharmacophore of hypothesis 06 by scaling the fit values.
