The present disclosure provides a novel biphenyl derivative compound, an optical isomer thereof or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The biphenyl derivative compound, optical isomer thereof or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof according to the present disclosure may induce cancer cell death by damaging mitochondria and inducing ATP depletion in cells which are in a nutrient-starved state such as a glucose-starved state, which is the normal environment of cancer cells. In addition, it is an Nm23-H1/NDPK activity-increasing substance that may suppress cancer metastasis and growth. Thus, it exhibits excellent effects not only on the prevention, alleviation and treatment of cancer, but also on the suppression of cancer metastasis.

Biphenyl derivative compound and use thereof

The present disclosure provides a novel biphenyl derivative compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The biphenyl derivative compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof according to the present disclosure is a compound that increases Nm23-H1/NDPK activity and can inhibit cancer metastasis and growth. Thus, it exhibits excellent effects not only on the prevention, alleviation and treatment of cancer, but also on the suppression of cancer metastasis.

The present disclosure relates to a pharmaceutical composition for suppressing cancer metastasis containing, as an active ingredient, an activator compound of the cancer metastasis inhibitor Nm23, a stereoisomer thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The compound according to the present disclosure may suppress the metastasis of cancer cells by promoting the activity of Nm23 associated with cancer metastasis, and thus may be useful as a pharmaceutical composition for suppressing cancer metastasis.
