Synthesis of six 2-{[bis-(2-chloroethyl)amino]methyl}-6,8-dinitro-1-(4substituted)- 1H-quinazoline-4-one derivatives is reported. The compounds contain nitro groups at positions 6 and 8 of quinazolinone moiety and a phenyl group at position 1. All the six compounds were incorporated with nitrogen mustard moiety. The synthesized compounds were screened for their anticancerous activity by short-term in vitro antitumor activity and in vivo anticancer activity by body weight analysis, mean survival time and percentage increase in life span methods in Swiss albino mice bearing DLA 1 x 10(6) cells/mL. Out of six compounds studied, compound IIIc (nitro-derivatives) showed significant anticancer activity.
