A total of 30 quinoxalines with a substituted anilino group on position 2, a carboethoxy or carboxy group on position 3 and a trifluoromethyl group on position 6 or 7 of the heterocycle were prepared in order to evaluate in vitro anticancer activity. Preliminary screening performed at NCI showed that most derivatives exhibited a moderate to strong growth inhibition activity on various tumour panel cell lines between 10-5 and 10-4 molar concentrations. One single compound exhibited good activity against Candida albicans and another showed activity against HIV.
