A covalent PIN1 inhibitor selectively targets cancer cells by a dual mechanism of action

A covalent PIN1 inhibitor selectively targets cancer cells by a dual mechanism of action

PIN1 is a promising therapeutic target for cancer treatment. In this study, the authors identify a covalent inhibitor of PIN1 with anti-tumour and anti-metastatic properties thanks to PIN1 inactivation and to the release, after binding to PIN1, of a quinone-mimicking compound that elicits reactive o...
