Abstract: Cancer remains a primary cause of death globally, and effective treatments are still limited.
While chemotherapy has notably enhanced survival rates, it brings about numerous side effects.
Consequently, the ongoing challenge persists in developing potent anti-cancer agents with
minimal toxicity. The versatile nature of the quinazoline moiety has positioned it as a pivotal
component in the development of various antitumor agents, showcasing its promising role in innovative
cancer therapeutics. This concise review aims to reveal the potential of quinazolines in
creating anticancer medications that target histone deacetylases (HDACs).
