The current study presented the synthesis and in vitro biological assessment of two sets of 3-methylbenzofurans (4a–d, 6a–c, 8a–c and 11) and 3-(morpholinomethyl)benzofurans (15a–c, 16a–b, 17a–b and 18) as potential anticancer agents towards non-small cell lung carcinoma A549 and NCI-H23 cell lines, with VEGFR-2 inhibitory activity. Here, KDR is linked to non-small cell lung carcinoma.
