The synthesis, antileukemic and antiplatelet activity evaluation of 2,3-diaryl-6,7-dihydro-5H-1,4-diazepines are described. In general, it was found that compound 17o showed moderate antileukemic activity against MOLT3 human leukemic cancer cell lines. An arachidonic acid induced platelet aggregation effect on washed rat platelets was studied. Compound 17i was found to be the most potent. The antiplatelet properties may be mediated by interference with the arachidonic acid pathway.
