Aim. Synthesis of a series of 2-(dichloromethyl)pyrazolo[1,5-a][1,3,5]triazines and evaluation in vitro of their anticancer activity against a panel of 60 cell lines derived from nine cancer types, namely leukemia, non-small cell lung cancer, colon cancer, CNS cancer, melanoma, ovarian cancer, renal cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer. Methods. Organic synthesis; biological tests; spectral methods; statistical methods. Results. In vitro screening of the anticancer activity showed that 5 of 26 tested compounds can effectively inhibit the growth of certain cancer cell lines. Conclusions. New type of N-(2,2-dichloro-1-cyanoethenyl)carboxamides heterocyclization with 1H-pyrazol-5-amines led to the formation of 2-(dichloromethyl)pyrazolo[1,5-a][1,3,5]triazines. Some of these compounds inhibit growth of certain cancer cell lines.
