Provided in the present invention is the use of a compound of general formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt,
hydrate, solvate,
prodrug,
tautomer or stereoisomer thereof acting as an MALT1 inhibitor. The MALT1 tumor inhibitor can inhibit the expression of an MALT1
gene or inactivate the function of an MALT1
protein. The compound of the general formula achieves the effect of inhibiting the expression of the MALT1
gene or inactivating the function of the MALT1
protein by means of affecting the expression of an MALT1
protein death domain. The screened
small molecule compound is capable of inhibiting the
RNA expression of a marker in
tumor cells and delaying
tumor progression in tumor model mice. In addition, the use of the compound in combination with an
immune checkpoint inhibitor can produce a synergistic effect and significantly enhance the
efficacy.
