Quinoline derivatives possess several therapeutic properties. Aim: studying the anticancer effect of 3-(4-methyl-2-oxo-2-H-quinoline-7-yloxy)-3-phenylacrylic acid's sodium solution on the Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC). Median lethal dose (LD) and dose response curve was determined for sodium salt solution of 3-(4-methyl-2-oxo-2-H-quinoline-7-yloxy)-3-phenylacrylic acid, then diving a group of one hundred Swiss albino mice, which are all females, into five groups: group 1: (negative control) where intraperitoneally injected with saline into mice for 10 successive days; group 2 (positive control), also namely (EAC-bearing group): where the EAC cells were intraperitoneally injected into mice (2.

Background: Due to the emergence of resistance to available anticancer agents, the demand for new cytotoxic agents has grown.

Objective: This study aims at synthesis and cytotoxic evaluation of new acrylic acid derivatives bearing quinolinone and halogenated quinolinone derivatives against three cancer cell lines.

Methods: New acrylic acid derivatives bearing quinolinone and halogenated quinolinone moieties were synthesized and screened for their cytotoxic activity against breast MCF-7, liver HepG2, and colon HCT-116 cancer cell lines.
