Abstract

Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is one of key enzymes in glucose metabolism pathway, which plays a critical role in cell metabolism. Inhibition of LDH can inhibit glycolysis process, thereby inhibiting the occurrence and development of tumor cells. Two kinds of LDH inhibitors, apigenin and emodin, were obtained by testing the IC50 of several natural products in LDH enzyme reaction. The IC50 of apigenin was about 1/3 of LDH inhibitor sodium oxalate. A new method to evaluate the performance of LDH inhibitors based on CdTe QDs was established at the same time, which provides a new idea for research on LDH enzyme inhibitors.
