Synthesis and antiproliferative activity of 2,6-Dibenzylamino-3,5-dicyanopyridines on human cancer cell lines

A new series of 2,6-dibenzylamino-3,5-dicyanopyridines were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro anticancer activity toward cell lines of nine different types of human cancer. Some of newly prepared compounds demonstrated remarkable anticancer activity against most of the tested subpanel tumor cell lines.
