The invention relates to the technical field of drugs for treating
thyroid cancer, in particular to application of
honeysuckle polysaccharide in preparation of drugs for treating
thyroid cancer. According to the technical scheme, on the basis of separating and purifying the
honeysuckle polysaccharide with relatively good uniformity, the
honeysuckle polysaccharide is found to have no toxic effect on normal
thyroid follicular cells, but selectively inhibits proliferation of recurrent metastatic papillary
thyroid carcinoma cells, and has an inhibiting effect on transplanted tumors of nude mice inoculated with a recurrent metastatic papillary
thyroid carcinoma cell line. According to the scheme, the honeysuckle flower polysaccharide is good in homogeneity, the molecular weight is 23 + / -4 kDa, the honeysuckle flower polysaccharide is mainly composed of five monosaccharides, and alpha-(1-> 4)-D-GalpA is mainly connected to form a main chain. The polysaccharide has no toxic effect on normal thyroid cells while effectively inhibiting the
cell viability of IHH-4. According to the technical scheme, the technical problem that drugs for treating recurrent metastatic papillary
thyroid carcinoma with small side effects and high specificity are lacked in the prior art can be solved, and the
drug has an ideal application prospect.
