Abstract: The title compound was synthesized by three methods from naphthopyrone. The structures of this compound and its precursors were fully characterized by 1H NMR, MS, IR and elemental analysis.Its DNA-intercalative activity was investigated in DMSO-Tris HCl system by fluorescence quenching technique and the apparent Scatchard binding constant was estimated. Results showed that it efficiently intercalated into DNA.The spectral properties and DNA-intercalative activity have been compared with those of its analogues.

Key words: naphthopyrones, DNA intercalation activity, synthesis, spectrum
