The structures were confirmed by elemental analysis, FT-IR, <sup>1</sup>H, <sup>13</sup>C, 2D-HSQC NMR and mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF). These derivatives bearing hydrolysable hydrazone linkages were evaluated for their in vitro antiproliferative activity against the human liver carcinoma cell line (HepG2) and human cervix carcinoma cell line (HeLa).enSynthesis, characterization and anticancer evaluation of novel tri-arm star shaped 1,3,5-triazine hydrazonesjournal article10.1016/j.molstruc.2011.12.023
