| Biological Activity |
PIN1 inhibitor API-1 is a specific Pin1 (peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase NIMA-interacting 1) inhibitor (API-1) with an IC50 of 72.3 nM. PIN1 inhibitor API-1 directly and specifically binds to the Pin1 peptidyl-prolyl isomerase (PPIase) domain and potently inhibits Pin1 cis-trans isomerizing activity. PIN1 inhibitor API-1 retains the active conformation of pXPO5 and restores the ability of pXPO5 to transport pre-miRNAs from nucleus to cytoplasm, thus up-regulating the anticancer miRNA biogenesis to suppress both in vitro and in vivo hepatocellular carcinoma development[1].
