This application discloses a D-3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase allosteric inhibitor and the use thereof. In one class is the benzoyl hydrazine compound for the allosteric site MDL-1 of the enzyme, and the other class is the furan compound for the allosteric site MDL-2 of the enzyme. In vitro enzymatic activity tests, cell viability tests and mouse xenograft model experiments confirm that the two classes of allosteric inhibitors can specifically inhibit the activity of D-3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase and delay the growth of cancer cells by reducing the overexpression of the enzyme in cancer cells. Same are used alone or in combination, or in combination with other anti-cancer drugs and can treat, prevent, or inhibit tumor diseases, including breast cancer, colon cancer, melanoma and non-small cell lung cancer.
