The invention provides application of cevaltinib in preparation of a
medicine for treating tendinopathy, the tendinopathy is a
tendon degenerative disease caused by
tendon stem cell senescence and
tendon degeneration, and the
medicine for treating the tendinopathy can target tendon stem cells, inhibit
tyrosine kinase receptors and inhibit expression of tendon
stem cell senescence markers p16 and p21. Therefore, histological
pathologic progresses such as tendon degeneration and the like are inhibited. The invention further provides a
medicine, and the effective component of the medicine is the cevaltinib. According to the application disclosed by the invention, the remarkable effect of the cevaltinib in the aspect of treating the tendinopathy is found for the first time, and the
senescence of tendon stem cells is inhibited and the tendon degeneration is delayed by highly selectively inhibiting MET
tyrosine kinase. In addition, the used cevaltinib is high in
biological safety, the synthesis method is mature, intensive production has been achieved, the requirements for storage and transportation conditions are not high, and the cost of the cevaltinib serving as a medicine is greatly reduced.
