Abstract
Under the guidance of our previous work, we synthesized 21 new structures of quinazolines (3a~3u) and evaluated their in vitro anticancer activity against A549, HCT116 and MCF-7 cell lines using the MTT method. Most compounds showed good to excellent anticancer activity. In particular, 3o (regarded as erlotinib analogues) has marked anticancer activity against A549, HCT116 and MCF-7 cell lines (IC50s: 4.26, 3.92 and 0.14 μM, respectively) as compared with the standard anticancer drug gefitinib (IC50s: 17.9, 21.55 and 20.68 μM, respectively), and which can be regarded as the best candidate for development of anticancer drugs.

Induction of cell death in cancer cells by modulating telomerase activity using small molecule drugs
Telomeres are distinctive but short stretches present at the corners of chromosomes and aid in stabilizing chromosomal makeup. Resynthesis of telomeres supported by the activity of reverse transcriptase ribonucleoprotein complex telomerase. There is no any telomerase activity in human somatic cells, but the stem cells and germ cells undergone telomerase ...read more
Role of natural compounds as anti anti-cancer agents
Cancer is considered the leading cause of worldwide mortality, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths in 2022. Cancer outcome can be improved through an appropriate screening and early detection and through an efficient clinical treatment. Chemotherapy remains an important approach in treatment o f several types of cancers, even though ...read more
