Generation of a cell-permeable cycloheptapeptidyl inhibitor against the peptidyl-prolyl isomerase Pin1.


ABSTRACT: Cyclic peptides are capable of binding and modulating challenging drug targets including protein-protein interactions. However, their lack of membrane permeability prevents their application against intracellular targets. In this study, we show that it is possible to design a cell-permeable and biologically active cycloheptapeptide inhibitor against the intracellular enzyme peptidyl-prolyl isomerase Pin1 by integrating cell-penetrating and target-binding sequences.
