The invention relates to the technical field of medicines, and in particular discloses a novel application of RDV (Registevir, RDV) in preparation of a
medicine for treating NUDT1 (NUDT1, also known as MTH1) high-expression
cancer, in particular to a novel application of RDV in preparation of a
medicine for treating NUDT1 (NUDT1, also known as MTH1) high-expression
cancer. According to the application disclosed by the invention, various means such as an ATP
competitive binding experiment, a molecular docking experiment, a thermal shift
assay (TSA) experiment, a
Western blot experiment, a long-chain PCR (
Polymerase Chain Reaction) experiment and a
cell proliferation experiment are used for verifying that the redefovir can be combined with an ATP
binding site of NUDT1
protein, the
protein stability is reduced, and the degradation of the NUDT1
protein is promoted, so that the level of 8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG) in
DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) under
oxidative stress is increased, and the proliferation of
cancer cells is obviously inhibited. According to the application, the potential of the ridecevir as the NUDT1 inhibitor is disclosed for the first time, high expression of the NUDT1 is used as an accompanying diagnosis index of treatment by using the ridecevir, and a brand-new scheme is provided for realizing accurate anti-
cancer treatment. The application is essentially different from known antiviral effects and mechanisms of the ridecevir.
