In this work we synthesized new derivatives from Phenyl Hydrazine and series of different Aldehydes (derivatives of benzylidenes). The synthesized compounds contain different aromatic Aldehydes which attached by Benzene ring via Hydrazine moiety in glacial acetic acid. These derivatives were characterized by TLC, melting points, Infrared Red, Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Carbon Thirteen Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and Mass Spectroscopy. Finally, these synthesized derivatives were tested for antiproliferative activity against multiple normal and cancerous cell lines, HepG2 (Liver cancer) and MCF-7 (Breast cancer) cell lines were used for cytotoxic assay.
