Abstract
A series of new phthalazine derivatives 3a–i and 4a–c were synthesized via the reaction of 1-chlorophthalazine derivative 2 with either N-substituted-piperazines, primary or their secondary amines. The structure of the synthesized, new compounds were characterized by spectral data. The anti-proliferative activity on human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 of the synthesized compounds was determined. The results showed that six of the test compounds (3a, 3g, 3i, and 4a–c) displayed potent cytotoxic activity ranging from 1.4 to 2.3 μmol.
