Background
Colorectal cancer (cancer of colon and rectum) belongs to common malignant tumors in gastrointestinal tracts, has unobvious early symptoms, shows symptoms such as defecation habit change, hematochezia, diarrhea and constipation alternation, local abdominal pain and the like along with the increase of cancer, and shows general symptoms such as anemia, weight loss and the like at late stage. Its incidence and mortality is high in cancer.
Since the concept of tumor-targeted therapy comes out, the drug has become the core of precise medicine, and the development of small-molecule inhibitor drugs has become a research hotspot in clinical oncology. With the continuous development of new clinical oncology technologies, the small molecule inhibitors are more and more valued as powerful tools for tumor targeted therapy, and the development of new drugs has been shifted to the development of tumor targeted small molecule inhibitors. Small molecule targeted drugs are drugs that are chemically synthesized and target specific mutations of tumor cells, mainly focusing on protein tyrosine kinases, proteases and other species. With the rapid development of the major health industry in China and the changing demand of precise medical treatment, the small-molecule targeted drug is rapidly developed due to the expanding medical insurance coverage and the approval of more and more innovative small-molecule targeted drugs.
In China, small-molecule targeted antitumor drugs are developed in a blowout manner in recent years, but most of the research and development bases of innovative drugs come from action mechanisms and action targets adopted in European and American countries. In the development of targeted drugs, the procedures of confirmation of drug targets, manual design, clinical trials, drug screening and the like are mainly included, the targets serving as the origins of the whole technical chain are always key core technologies, however, no effective method or technology exists in the current Chinese research and development on drug targeting, and the domestic research and development of targeted drugs are still mainly me-to and me-beter. China has a large population and a high colorectal cancer prevalence rate, and is an important consumption market of small molecule targeted anticancer drugs in the world. However, at present, a targeted therapeutic drug capable of effectively targeting colorectal cancer patients is lacking in China, and the difficulty is mainly in target point confirmation and artificial design.

Normal food intake and water adaptation were given, AOM 10mg/kg was given 1 intraperitoneal injection 1 time after one week, then 2.5% DSS drinking water was given for 7 days, and normal water was changed for 14 days, and 3 cycles were repeated. Intraperitoneal injections of various concentrations of ENPP2 inhibitor were started after the end of cycle 2, with a total of 70 days for the low dose group of 30mg/kg Ziritaxostat (GLPG1690) and 60mg/kg Ziritaxostat (GLPG1690) for the high dose group, and the procedure is shown in FIG. 5A.
During the modeling process, the degree of damage to the colon was assessed daily for all mice by DAI scoring. The DAI score ranged from 0 to 4, and included weight change, degree of hematochezia, and degree of diarrhea, from the DAI assessment curve we can see that ENPP2 inhibitor Ziritaxestat (GLPG1690) significantly improved the health status of the mice, alleviating the clinical signs of colonic lesions, and the DAI results are shown in figure 5B. After 70 days of sacrifice, the colon of the mice was removed and washed in normal saline to remove residual stool, and then the colorectal status was recorded, as shown in fig. 5C. The results show that the ENPP2 inhibitor Ziritaxestat (GLPG1690) significantly inhibited the development of intestinal colorectal tumors in AOM/DSS model mice compared to the model group.
Intestinal tissue samples are taken and placed on a precooled carrying plate, the intestinal tissue samples are placed under a high-resolution stereomicroscope for photographing and observation, the splicing of full intestinal tissue micrographs is completed by adopting a 'large-field jigsaw puzzle' mode, tumor tissues are quantitatively analyzed by adopting professional graphic processing software, the number and the load of tumors are recorded, and the result shows that the number and the load of the tumors of an ENPP2 inhibitor Ziritaxestat (GLPG1690) treatment group are obviously lower than those of a model group, and the results are shown in figures 5D and 5E. Calculating tumor load, fixing a small part of colon in 4% paraformaldehyde, and storing the rest part of colon at-80 deg.C after quick freezing with liquid nitrogen. And (3) dehydrating the fixed colon tissues and other steps to prepare HE pathological sections, observing the relevant change of the pathological morphology of the colon by the prepared pathological sections, wherein HE staining shows that the degree of tumor dysplasia of the treatment group is obviously lower than that of the model group, and the result is shown in a figure 5F.
