ABSTRACT
Pin1 (proline isomerase peptidyl-prolyl isomerase NIMA-interacting-1), as a member of PPIase family, catalyzes cis-trans isomerization of pThr/Ser-Pro amide bonds of its substrate proteins, further regulating cell proliferation, division, apoptosis, and transformation. Pin1 is overexpressed in various cancers and is positively correlated with tumor initiation and progression. Pin1 inhibition can effectively reduce tumor growth and cancer stem cell expansion, block metastatic spread, and restore chemosensitivity, suggesting that targeting Pin1 may be an effective strategy for cancer treatment. Considering the promising therapeutic effects of Pin1 inhibitors on cancers, we herein are intended to comprehensively summarize the reported Pin1 inhibitors, mainly highlighting their structures, biological functions and binding modes, in hope of providing a reference for the future drug discovery.
