Abstract
Our recent studies on 2-benzylthiobenzenesulfonamides revealed that a number of their N-substituted derivatives possess substantial in vitro antitumor activity [1-5]. This prompted us to develop a facile method for the synthesis a new series of sulfonamides bearing heterocyclic rings attached to the sulfonamide nitrogen atom. The synthesis of the target 2-alkylthio-4-chloro-N-(4-R3-quinazolin-2-yl)benzenesulfonamides were achieved by reacting of the corresponding N-(2-alkylthiobenzenesulfonyl)cyanamide potassium salts with suitable ortho-substituted anilines, such as o-aminoacetophenone or o-aminobenzophenone derivatives in glacial acetic acid.

Fourteen of compounds obtained were screened at the NCI (Bethesda MD, USA) for their in vitro activities against NCI-60 panel of human cancer cell lines. Many of these compounds exhibited a pronounced activity against numerous cancer cell lines. They noticed that, the susceptibility of individual subpanels to the tested compounds was being arranged in the following order: leukemia, non-small cell lung cancer, melanoma, colon, prostate and renal cancer, while the number of leukemia and lung cancer cell lines was largest.
