Ezrin is a member of the ERM (ezrin, radixin, moesin) family of proteins and
functions as a linker between the plasma membrane and the actin cytoskeleton.
Ezrin is a key driver of tumor progression and metastatic spread of osteosarcoma.
We discovered a quinoline-based small molecule, NSC305787, that directly binds to
ezrin and inhibits its functions in promoting invasive phenotype. NSC305787
possesses a very close structural similarity to commonly used
quinoline-containing antimalarial drugs. On the basis of this similarity and of
recent findings that ezrin has a likely role in the pathogenesis of malaria
infection, we screened antimalarial compounds in an attempt to identify novel
ezrin inhibitors with better efficacy and drug properties. Screening of Medicines
for Malaria Venture (MMV) Malaria Box compounds for their ability to bind to
recombinant ezrin protein yielded 12 primary hits with high selective binding
activity. The specificity of the hits on ezrin function was confirmed by
inhibition of the ezrin-mediated cell motility of osteosarcoma cells. Compounds
were further tested for phenocopying the morphologic defects associated with
ezrin suppression in zebrafish embryos as well as for inhibiting the lung
metastasis of high ezrin-expressing osteosarcoma cells. The compound MMV667492
exhibited potent anti-ezrin activity in all biologic assays and had better
physicochemical properties for drug-likeness than NSC305787. The drug-like
compounds MMV020549 and MMV666069 also showed promising activities in functional
assays. Thus, our study suggests further evaluation of antimalarial compounds as
a novel class of antimetastatic agents for the treatment of metastatic
osteosarcoma.
