A novel series of 2-[(3-substituted-4(3H)-quinazolin-2-yl)thio]-N-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)acetamide (15-21) and 3-[(3-substituted-4(3H)-quinazolin-2-yl)thio])-N-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)propanamide (23-29) were designed, prepared and estimated for their anticancer activity in a solo dose 10 μM of the test compounds in the NCI 57 cell lines panel assay. Compounds 20, 23, 26, 27 and 28 revealed extensive-spectrum antitumor efficiency to numerous cell lines that belong to various tumor subpanels, while compounds 15, 16 and 19 possessed perceptive activity toward A498 and UO-31 renal cancer cell lines, and compound 17 showed selective effectiveness against NSC lung cancer NCI-H522 cell line. Additionally, compound 18 showed advanced activity against SR leukemia cell line, NSC lung cancer HOP-92 and renal cancer UO-31 cell lines.
