Abstract:

Tumor is a metabolic disease that is involved in various factors and causes the disorder of the function balance of various systems of the body. Metabolic reprogramming is an important sign of malignant tumor. Metabolomics of studying “metabolic fingerprint” can be used to mine the key metabolites related to tumor and their metabolic reprogramming pathways,and is widely used in the screening of tumor target drugs. However,there are few overall reviews on metabonomics in tumor drug target screening. This paper firstly introduces the process of metabolomics screening tumor drug targets,then elaborates the metabolomics in the screening of tumor drug targets in the fields of glucose metabolism,amino acid metabolism,lipid metabolism and other fields,revealing tumor drug-resistant mechanism,and in the application of screening target drugs. Finally the paper discusses the existing issues and future development trend of metabolomics in the research of tumor drug targets,aiming to provide reference and scientific basis for further studying and understanding the important role of metabolomics in tumor pathogenesis and drug target uncovering.

Key words: metabolomics, tumor, metabolic reprogramming, drug targets
