Abstract Design and synthesis of some new thienopyridazine derivatives as anticancer agents were the goal of this work. Accordingly, a series of novel compounds were synthesized via reacting thienopyridazine carboxylic acid hydrazide with different organic reagents. Twelve novel compounds were selected by National Cancer Institute for a full anticancer screening assay where seven of the investigated compounds showed non-selective broad spectrum and promising activity almost against all cancer cell lines. One of the most active compounds was chosen to be evaluated against 60-cell line panel at five concentration levels and revealed a remarkable growth inhibition activity.

Introduction During the last four decades, intensive research have been conducted on pyridazine chemistry because many derivatives were found to have a wide variety of biological activities, e.g. psychomimetic (Wermuth et al., 1989), anti inflammatory (Tewari and Mishra, 2001; Takaya et al., 1979), analgesics (Rohet et al., 1997), anticonvulsant (Moreau et al., 1994), antiasthmatic and bronchodilator (Yamaguchi et al., 1995), antihypertensive (Pifferi et al., 1975; Tomil et al., 1998; McEvoy and Allen, 1974; Curran and Ross, 1974), phosphodiesterase IV inhibitors (Piaz et A.

Likewise fused pyridazines, e.g. imidazopyridazines were designed as potent selective CDK2 inhibitors and provided useful leads for discovery and development of CDK inhibitors (Byth et al., 2004). Pyrazolopyridazines and their analogues were identified in a high-throughput screening as potent inhibitor of CDK1/ cyclin B and have selectivity for the CDK family (Brana et al., 2005). Moreover, thieno[2,3-d]pyridazines were prepared and found to have I.Kappa.B kinase (IKKs) inhibitors that are useful as anticancer (Shenvei et al., 2005). Thieno[2,3-c]pyridazines bearing several pharmacophores that hopin
