Abstract
    [Objective] To study of cytotoxic activity and DNA-binding properties of Euxanthone Cu(Ⅱ) complex. [Methods] Three tumor cell lines including esophagus cancer (ECA109),stomach cancer (SGC7901) and cervical cancer (Hela) are used to evaluate the cytotoxic activities of Euxanthone Cu(Ⅱ) complex by MTT. The interactions of Euxanthone Cu(Ⅱ) complex with calf thymus DNA are investigated by fluorescence emission,ultraviolet absorption and circular dichroic spectra. [Results] Euxanthone Cu(Ⅱ) complex exhibits more effective inhibition activity against three cancer cells than Euxanthone and can intercalate into the DNA base pairs. [Conclusion] Euxanthone Cu(Ⅱ) complex could intercalate between DNA base pairs and cause DNA damage in cancer cells,thus inhibiting the division of cancer cells.
