In a search for new anticancer agents with better activity and selectivity, the present work described the synthesis of several new series of sulfachloropyridazine hybrids with thiocarbamates 3a-e, thioureids 4a-h, 5a-e and 4-substituted sulfachloropyridazines 6a, b, 7a, b and 8. The synthesized compounds were screened in vitro against a panel of 60 cancer cell lines in one dose assay. The most potent derivatives 3a, 3c, 4c, 4d, 5e, 7a and 7b were tested for their antiangiogenic activity by measuring their ability to inhibit VEGFR-2.

Three new sets of quinazolinones bearing sulfachloropyridazine 4a-f, 6a-i and 8a-i were designed and synthesized. All the synthesized compounds were screened for their in vitro cytotoxicity against a panel of 60 cancer cell lines. The most potent compounds 4b, 4d, 6f, 6g, 8c, 8f and 8g were evaluated as VEGFR-2 inhibitors.

Sphingosine kinase 1 (SphK1) has emerged as an attractive drug target for different diseases. Recently, discovered SphK1 inhibitors have been recommended in cancer therapeutics; however, selectivity and potency are great challenges. In this study, a novel series of benzimidazoles was synthesized and evaluated as SphK1 inhibitors.
