  • Pin1 is a type of peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase) that catalyzes the cis/trans conformational change of proline in proteins, and has the characteristic of acting specifically on proline located next to phosphorylated serine or threonine to change the conformation. Therefore, Pin1 is a molecule that links protein phosphorylation to protein conformational change and is thought to play an important role in intracellular signal transduction. It has been reported that Pin1 expression levels are significantly increased in several tissues, such as the liver, muscle, adipose tissue, and kidney, of obese and diabetic mice (Non-Patent Documents 1-3).
  • Non-Patent Documents 4-10 It has also been reported that Pin1 promotes the proliferation of several viruses, such as cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus, human immunodeficiency virus, and feline coronavirus.
  • viruses such as cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus, human immunodeficiency virus, and feline coronavirus.
  • Pin1 knockout mice exhibit symptoms similar to those of Alzheimer's disease (Non-Patent Document 11).

  • Phenylalaninol phosphate derivatives, indole or benzimidazole alanine derivatives, fredericamycin A compounds, phenylimidazole derivatives, naphthyl-substituted amino acid derivatives, glutamic acid or aspartic acid derivatives, and the like have been reported as compounds that inhibit Pin1 (Patent Documents 1 to 4 and Non-Patent Documents 12 to 15). Furthermore, it is also known that Pin1 inhibitors having a specific structure can be used as therapeutic or preventive agents for fatty liver disease, obesity, inflammatory diseases, and cancer (Patent Documents 5 to 8 and Non-Patent Documents 12, 13, and 16).
  • Non-Patent Document 10 It has also been reported that the replication of feline coronavirus (FCoV) was inhibited by dipentamethylene thiuram monosulfide, a Pin1 inhibitor (Non-Patent Document 10), and that Pin1 inhibitors can suppress the proliferation of SARS-coronavirus 2 and may therefore be used as therapeutic or preventive agents for coronavirus infection (COVID-19) caused by SARS-coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) (Patent Documents 8 and 9).
  • Coronaviruses are viruses that infect not only humans but also animals, causing various diseases.
  • livestock such as dogs, cats, cows, pigs, chickens, horses, alpacas, and camels
  • coronaviruses specific to each animal have been detected in beluga whales, giraffes, ferrets, suncus, bats, and sparrows.
  • Coronaviruses are highly species specific, and they rarely cross species barriers to infect other animals.
  • Coronaviruses that infect humans include four types of coronaviruses (Human Coronaviruses: HCoV) that commonly infect humans: HCoV-229E, HCoV-OC43, HCoV-NL63, and HCoV-HKU1, and two types of severe pneumonia viruses that infect animals: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV).
  • SARS-CoV Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus

  • COVID-19 symptoms include fever, respiratory symptoms, headache, and fatigue, and may also cause olfactory and gustatory disorders.
  • the mortality rate of COVID-19 is particularly high in elderly people and patients with underlying diseases (cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, chronic kidney disease, hypertension, and obesity).
  • Coronaviruses are a type of RNA virus (single-stranded RNA virus) that carry RNA as genetic information, and have a double membrane made of lipids called an "envelope" on the outermost surface of the particle. They are spherical with a diameter of about 100 nm, with protrusions on their surface, and their shape resembles a crown. Coronaviruses cannot multiply on their own, but they attach to and penetrate human cells such as mucous membranes and grow there.
  • Virologically they are classified into the order Nidovirales, subfamily Orthocoronavirinae, and family Coronaviridae, and are divided into four groups based on genetic characteristics: ⁇ , ⁇ , ⁇ , and ⁇ .
  • HCoV-229E and HCoV-NL63 are classified as ⁇ coronaviruses, while MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2, HCoV-OC43, and HCoV-HKU1 are classified as ⁇ coronaviruses.
  • Herpes simplex virus Zika virus, respiratory syncytial virus, hantavirus, rhinovirus, Gamak virus, vaccinia virus, poliovirus, and coxsackievirus infections.
  • HSV which infects humans through the skin or mucous membranes, invades cells by fusing its envelope with the host cell membrane. Tegument and nucleocapsid are released into the cell. Viral protein synthesis and DNA synthesis proceed in the nucleus, producing child viruses, which finally escape outside the cell. At this point, it may infect neighboring cells.
  • Zika virus is a spherical virus with a diameter of 40-50 nm that belongs to the Flavivirus genus of the Flaviviridae family.
  • the viral RNA is present within a core particle with a diameter of 25-35 nm, which is composed of a basic protein core protein of about 12 kDa.
  • the core particle is surrounded by an envelope composed of two types of proteins, a membrane protein (M protein) of about 8 kDa and a glycoprotein (E protein) of about 53 kDa.
  • M protein membrane protein
  • E protein glycoprotein
  • the E protein is involved in host affinity and cell adsorption, and is the main protein that induces protective immunity against Zika virus.
  • the viral RNA is a single-stranded RNA of 10,794 bases, and is a positive-stranded RNA that acts as mRNA when released into the host cell due to viral infection.
  • Zika virus infection is mainly transmitted by mosquitoes in a human-mosquito-human cycle, and symptoms begin with generalized discomfort and fatigue, followed by fever, headache, and generalized muscle pain almost simultaneously.
  • the respiratory syncytial virus belongs to the Orthopneumovirus genus of the Pneumoviridae family and is a type of enveloped, spherical or filamentous negative single-stranded RNA virus with a diameter of 80-350 nm.
  • the viral RNA is approximately 15.2 Kb long and encodes 11 proteins.
  • the surface of the virus contains the G (large glycoprotein) protein (which adheres to the host), the F (fusion) protein (which causes membrane fusion), and the SH (small hydrophobic) protein, and two serotypes, A and B, are known.
  • RSV can cause severe symptoms in immunocompromised adults and in infants, leading to bronchitis and pneumonia.
  • Hantavirus is a general term for viruses belonging to the genus Hantavirus in the family Bunyavirales.
  • the natural hosts are small mammals such as rodents and shrecomorpha, and they are not pathogenic to these animals. However, when they infect humans, they cause severe diseases such as Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome (HFRS) and Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS).
  • HFRS Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome
  • HPS Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome
  • Hantavirus particles contain three negative-stranded RNAs, called the S, M, and L segments.
  • the S segment encodes the nucleoprotein (N)
  • the M segment encodes the glycoprotein precursor (GPC) of two envelope glycoproteins (Gn, Gc)
  • the L segment encodes the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp).
  • the base sequences at both ends of each genome are complementary to each other, so they combine to form a ring structure.
  • Hantavirus particles are spherical or ovoid, with a diameter of 80 to 120 nm. Hantaviruses infect vascular endothelial cells, epithelial cells, macrophages, follicular dendritic cells, lymphocytes, etc., through the binding of the envelope glycoprotein to a receptor on the host cell surface.
  • ⁇ 3 integrin, DAF/CD55, and gC1qR/p32 have been reported as receptors for hantaviruses. It has also been reported that nonpathogenic hantaviruses use ⁇ 1 integrin as a receptor. Hantaviruses are transported to early endosomes via clathrin-coated pits, and then transported to late endosomes or lysosomes. When the pH in the endolysosomal compartment drops below 6.4, they fuse with the cell membrane and uncoat. The entire replication process of hantaviruses takes place in the cytoplasm.
  • RdRp synthesizes positive-strand mRNA from genomic S, M, and L segments (vRNA) using the N cap-snatching mechanism.
  • the replicated viral genome binds to nucleoproteins to form nucleocapsids.
  • the nucleocapsids bind to envelope glycoproteins on the cytoplasmic side of the Golgi apparatus and bud off into the Golgi apparatus.
