Pancreatic cancer is one of the most common cancers with an extremely low survival rate. Metastasis, as one of the key reasons of cancer-related death, is found in more than 50% pancreatic cancer patients at diagnosis. Novel therapeutic targets and drugs blocking cancer metastasis are urgently needed. Herein, we report a series of 1,5-diaryl-1,2,4-triazole derivatives as potent antimetastatic agents. Lead compound 3-(3-ethyl-5-(5-methoxy-2-pyrimidinyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazolyl)-N-(4-phenylbutyl)benzamide (6y) displayed effective antimetastatic activities in pancreatic cancer in vitro and in vivo. Concomitant studies indicated that 6y probably binds with myoferlin (MYOF), a novel potential antitumor metastasis target, which regulates vesicle trafficking and metastasis-related proteins. Subsequent biophys. and biochem. methods verified that 6y bound to MYOF. Mechanism studies revealed that 6y inhibited pancreatic cancer metastasis through reversing the epithelial mesenchymal transition, inhibiting the secretions of matrix metalloproteinase and blocking the receptor tyrosine kinases. Our findings suggest that targeting MYOF with 6y may be a promising therapeutic strategy to prevent pancreatic cancer metastasis.
