Synthesis and physico-chemical properties of nine 3-(4-fluoro or chlorobenzyl)-5-arylidène-imidazolidine-2,4-diones, four 3-(4-fluoro or bromobenzyl)-5-arylidène-thiazolidine-2,4-diones and three 3-)4-bromophénacyl)-5-arylidène-thiazolidine-2,4- diones has been described. These compounds were synthesized by aldolisation-crotonisation reaction from aromatic aldehydes and 3-substituted imidazolidine-2,4-diones or thiazolidine-2,4-diones. In vitro cytotoxic activity was determined for compounds 8, 17, 18, 21 and 22.
