Abstract: Hydroxytanshinone IIA was synthesized with tanshinone IIA as lead compound.MTT assay was adopted to evaluate its inhibition effect against Hela,HepG-2 and SGC-7901 cells.Results indicated that hydroxytanshinone IIA inhibited cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner.The half inhibitory concentrations (IC50) of hydroxytanshinone IIA against SGC-7901,HeLa and HepG-2 cells were 4.18 μM,6.08 μM and 10.20 μM,respectively.But the IC50 of tanshinone IIA against SGC-7901,HeLa and HepG-2 cells were 17.15 μM,27.28 μM and 46.34 μM,respectively.The inhibition effect of hydroxytanshinone IIA to SGC-7901 cells was powerful.Compared with tanshinone IIA,hydroxytanshinone IIA significantly increased inhibition effect (P<0.05).

Key words: tanshinone IIA, hydroxytanshinone IIA, Hela cells, HepG-2 cells, SGC-7901 cells
