Herein we report the design and synthesis of a new series of phthalazine derivatives as Topo II inhibitors and DNA intercalators. The synthesized compounds were in vitro evaluated for their cytotoxic activities against HepG-2, MCF-7 and HCT-116 cell lines. Additionally, Topo II inhibitory activity and DNA intercalating affinity were investigated for the most active compounds as a potential mechanism for the anticancer activity. Compounds 15h, 23c, 32a, 32b, and 33 exhibited the highest activities against Topo II with IC50 r
