Ecto-nucleotide pyrophosphatases/phosphodiesterases(ENPPs)are involved in the hydrolysis of different purine nu-cleotides in a range of physiological processes.In recent years,it has also been found to be involved in tumor progression,with ENPP1 often overexpressed in local recurrence and tumor metas-tasis,which is associated with poor prognosis and survival in a range of solid tumors.The role of ENPP1 in tumors is mainly fo-cused on tumor proliferation,metastasis,immunity,recurrence,etc.,and it is speculated that ENPP1 can be used as a prognos-tic indicator for a variety of tumors.ENPP1 promotes the immu-nosuppressive tumor microenvironment by being obliquely in-volved in the regulation of ATP/adenosine homeostasis by com-bining with other components,which crosses with interferon gene stimulators to impair its potent immune response through the hy-drolysis of the effector 2',3'-cyclic GMP-AMP.Therefore,EN-PP1 blockade has become an effective means to induce immune remodeling and inhibit tumorigenesis and development.The ex-isting ENPP1 inhibitors mainly include natural small molecule compounds,nucleotide ENPP1 inhibitors,non-nucleotide EN-PP1 inhibitors,and novel small molecule ENPP1 inhibitors.So far,a small number of ENPP1 inhibitors have been developed and are rarely suitable for in vivo experiments,and they are still in the stage of developing effective compounds or lead com-pounds,and the research on ENPP1 inhibitors needs to be fur-ther studied.This review summarizes and discusses the role of ENPP1 in tumors,and summarizes the current research progress of various ENPP1 agents and their current research progress,in order to provide a reference for further research on the prepara-tion of drug candidates.
