The synthesis and biological evaluation of two series of salicylanilide derivatives on the EGFR and ErbB-2 tyrosine kinases inhibitory activities were conducted.Of the tested compounds those having an additional aryl group substituted on the anilino ring were active on the EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibition（7a-c and 13a,13c,13d,13f）.The inhibitory activities were all in the low micromolar or submicromolar range.In addition,compound 13a was found to have dual inhibitory activities both on EGFR and ErbB-2 tyrosine kinases（1.654±1.280 and 7.134±1.265μmol/L）.
