  ABSTRACT: In this work, some new oxadiazole derivatives have been prepared, by reacting phenyl hydrazine and acetic anhydride together, which furnished 2,4-dimethyl-4-phenyloxadiazole. This product was reacted with a series of aromatic aldehydes, to obtain a series of oxadiazole derivatives. These derivatives were characterized by TLC, melting points, infrared red, proton nuclear magnetic resonance, carbon thirteen nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectroscopy. Finally, these synthetized derivatives were tested for antiproliferative activity by two different cell lines. MCF-7 (Breast cancer cell line) and HepG2 (Liver cancer cell line) were used to assess the antiproliferative activity of the prepared compounds.
