Structure-based design, synthesis and biological evaluation of new small molecules anti-cancer agents were described. On continuation of applying scaffold hopping theory, a series of 5-arylthieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines based on the structural features of lapatinib was designed, synthesized and characterized using IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, mass and microanalyses. Biological evaluation of the cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 cell line and the inhibition of the enzymatic activity of epidermal growth factor tyrosine kinase were carried out in vitro for the target compounds. Substituting the 4-anilino-5-arylthieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines with different pharmacophoric groups at ortho, meta and/or para positions led to discovery of two potent lead compounds 3b and f with excellent cytotoxic activity and enzymatic inhibition activity.
