Lung cancer is the leading cause of death in Taiwan cancer patients. The cancer cells are capable of spreading by metastasis and invasion. When tumors spread to distant parts of the body, it is difficult to treat by surgery. In this study, we discovered the novel anti-invasion drugs DMHMPC and DE-DMPC that can inhibit the metastasis and invasion of human lung cancer cell A549. From screening of a chemical library of 420 small molecule compounds using Boyden chamber and MTT assay, the compound DMHMPC and DE-DMPC showed the inhibitory activity toward the invasiveness but not proliferation in human lung cancer cell A549. The results of wound healing assay also showed that DMHMPC and DE-DMPC inhibited the motility of A549 in a dose dependent manner. Moreover, the results of growth curve assay and colony formation assay also showed that DMHMPC and DE-DMPC are not effect proliferation in A549. Together, these results suggested that DMHMPC and DE-DMPC could be the potential drugs to inhibit the invasion of cancer cells that may lead to the new avenue of the cancer prevention therapy.
