Abstract: Tryptanthrin is a type of important natural quinazolineindole alkaloids.In this study,the synthesis,anti-tumor activities and G-quadruplex DNA binding effect of 2,8-dibromo-tryptanthrins (Br-Try),8-indo-tryptanthrin (I-Try) were investigated.The in vitro anti-tumor activities against 4 tumor cell lines BEL7404, HepG2,NCI-H460,T-24 and HL-7702 showed that both Br-Try and I-Try exhibited stronger anti-tumor activity than tryptanthrin and cis-platium against certain cell lines.Br-Try exhibited better activities than cis-platium and Try against BEL-7404,NCI-H460 and T-24 with IC50 values of 7.08-9.68 μM.While,I-Try only inhibited against HepG2 with IC50 value of 15.78±0.33 μM.Spectroscopic experiments showed that the three compounds had stabilizing effect on Gquadruplex HTG21 DNA,in which Br-Try showed the strongest effect.

Key words: tryptanthrin, halogenated derivatives, anti-tumor activity, G-quadruplex DNA
