A series of Schiff bases of furan and thiophen rings has been synthesized in one step, in good and excellent yields, using acetic acid as catalyst. The synthesized products were evaluated for their anticancer activity toward breast (MDA-MB231) and colorectal (LoVo) human cell lines cancers. The in vitro antibacterial and antifungal potential of the products were also determined using tree bacterial strains (Echerichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, and Micrococcus luteus) and fungal strains (Fusarium oxysporum f.sp albedinis FAO). Significant activity against breast cancer cell lines and Fungal strains was observed.
