This invention relates to the field of biopharmaceutical technology, and in particular to the application of myrotoxin A in the preparation of drugs for treating prostate cancer. This invention is the first to discover the function of myrotoxin A in inducing ferroptosis in DU145 prostate cancer cells by targeting and inhibiting ACSL3 protein, and its inhibitory effect on prostate cancer proliferation. Specific embodiments of this invention reveal for the first time that myrotoxin A can precisely utilize the unique metabolic vulnerability of prostate cancer cells, significantly downregulating the expression of ACSL3 protein in DU145 cells at the protein level. This, in turn, by relieving the inhibition of ferroptosis by ACSL3 protein, specifically induces ferroptosis in prostate cancer cells, ultimately effectively inhibiting tumor cell growth and achieving the therapeutic goal of targeting prostate cancer development.

The application discloses a combined drug for treating prostate cancer and application, the combined drug is a combined drug of FEN1-IN-4 and TRi-1 administered respectively or simultaneously, the FEN1-IN-4 is an inhibitor targeting Flap endonuclease 1, and the TRi-1 is an inhibitor targeting thioredoxin (TXN) antioxidant system.The combined treatment scheme of FEN1-IN-4 and TRi-1 provided by the application firstly shows a strong antitumor effect superior to single drug in vitro experiment.FEN1-IN-4 as FEN1 specific inhibitor can block the endonuclease function of FEN1 by combining with the active site of FEN1, and can achieve significant growth inhibition to various prostate cancer cell lines such as LNCaP, 22RV-1, PC3, DU145, and the like, and TRi-1 as TXN antioxidant system inhibitor can target to destroy the oxidative stress balance of tumor cells, and the two act on different key pathways (DNA replication / damage repair pathway and antioxidant defense pathway) of tumor cells, forming a "double targeting" synergistic effect.
