Abstract

An array of newly synthesized thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine-based derivatives and thienotriazolopyrimidines hybridized with some pharmacophoric anticancer fragments were designed, synthesized and assessed for their in vitro antiproliferative activity against MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines using erlotinib and pictilisib as reference standards in the MTT assay. In general, many compounds were endowed with considerable antiproliferative activity (IC
