Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of New Oxadiazoline-Substituted Naphthalenyl Acetates as Anticancer Agents. -All new oxadiazoline-substituted naphthalenyl acetates (III), (V) are tested for their in vitro anticancer activity. Among them, new compounds (Va) and (Vb), bearing acetoxy groups at the phenyl ring show significant anticancer activity against all tested cancer cell lines. The selectivity of (Va) is greater for non-solid tumor cells. Computational prediction and pharmacokinetic properties reveal that both compounds are safe. Compound (Vb) has a good drug-likeness score. -(CHAABAN, I.; EL KHAWASS, E. S. M.; ABD EL RAZIK*, H. A.; EL SALAMOUNI, N. S.; REDONDO-HORCAJO, M.; BARASOAIN, I.; DIAZ, J.
