Abstract:

Four N,N-bis(8-flavonmethyl)geranylamine derivatives were designed and synthesized. The structures of the synthesized compounds were determined from the results of 1H NMR, MS and elemental analysis. The prelimilary cytotoxicity was evaluated on K562 and SMMC7721 cell lines by MTT assay. The results demonstrated that all compounds possessed antitumor actitity and compound 1c is the best among them with an IC50 value of 5.78 μmol/L or 3.85 μmol/L against K562 or SMMC7721 cell lines, respectively. The in vitro antitumor activities of compounds 1a and 1c against K562 were better than that of the commercial drug Melphalan. The interaction of compound 1c with herring sperm DNA was explored with ethidium bromide(EB) as a fluorescence probe. The result of the study on fluorescence quenching by DNAEB confirms the strong interaction of compound 1c with Herring Sperm DNA.

Key words: N,N-bis(flavonmethyl)geranylamine, synthesis, bioactivity, fluorescence
