Abstract :In this research, a new series of insert ignore into journalissuearticles values($E);$-3-insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(4-substitutedphenyl);-1-insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(4`-morpholinophenyl);prop-2-en-1-one derivatives 1-7 was synthesized, aiming to develop effective antiproliferative agents. The antiproliferative activities of compounds 1-7 were examined against HeLa and C6 cell lines at eight different concentrations using the BrdU ELISA assay. The activity results were compared with reference anticancer drug 5-fluorouracil insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(5-FU);. Compound 1 had almost the same antiproliferative activity as 5-FU. Compounds 1-7 were found to have greater effects against the C6 cell line than the HeLa cell line. These compounds were also tested in order to determine their effects on enzyme activities. Compounds 2 and 3 exhibited strong activator characteristics against pyruvate kinase isoenzyme M2 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PKM2); with AC$_{50}$ values of 2.2 and 14.28 $\mu $M\textbf. Compounds 2, 3, and 7acted as inhibitors with IC$_{50}$ values in the range of 84.08-165.38 $\mu $M for carbonic anhydrase isoenzyme I insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(hCA I);, and compounds 3 and 4 demonstrated inhibitory effects against carbonic anhydrase isoenzyme II insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(hCA II); with IC$_{50}$ values of 108.11 and 112.52 $\mu $M, respectively. hCA II was activated by derivatives 1, 2, 6, and 7} with AC$_{50}$ values in the range of 85.53-146.59 $\mu $M.
