Abstract

Metastasis is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death worldwide. Fascin is involved in this process by bundling actin filaments and producing protrusions in cancer cells, which facilitate their migration. It has been shown that the overexpression of this protein is related to the appearance of different types of cancer, such as colorectal cancer. In this study, we conducted an in silico screening against the enamine library, a compound library with a broad chemical space ({approx}1.4M compounds), followed by further validation with physicochemical assays and cellular migration and cytotoxicity tests, thereby obtaining a molecule with considerable fascin inhibitory and migration-arresting capacity similar to other inhibitors already known in the literature.
