The synthesis, cytotoxic activities and selectivities of 35 derivatives related to quinazoline and pyrido [2, 3-d] pyrimidine are described. The synthesized compounds were screened in vitro against four tumoral cell lines–leukemia (CCRF-CEM), colon (HT-29), lung (HTB-54) and breast (MCF-7)–and two cell lines derived from non-malignant cell lines, one mammary (184B5) and one from bronchial epithelium (BEAS-2B). MCF-7 and HTB-54 were the most ...
