Abstract: Dehydroabietyl-2-hydroxy benzoylhydrazone (4) and dehydroabietyl-2-hydroxy-5-bromo benzoylhydrazone (6) were synthesized from dehydroabietic acid and characterized by IR, 1H NMR, MS spectra and elemental analysis . Their interactions with Salmon sperm DNA were investigated by viscosity analysis, UV, and fluorescence spectrometry, etc. The experimental results showed that they were bound to DNA by intercalation and the binding ability of 4 is stronger than that of 6. The anticancer experiments by MTT method indicated that the compounds has high growth inhibitory activities on the selected cancer cells (HeLa, MCF-7, HL-60, and HepG-2) with the inhibitory rates of 73.9%-92.3% at the concentrations of 25 and 50 μmol/L. Their anticancer activities were all close to or greater than that of Cisplatin (66.3%-92.7%)

Key words: dehydroabietic acid, dehydroabietyl benzoylhydrazone, DNA, anticancer
