Abstract: In this paper, the spectrophotometric, cyclic voltammetric methods and viscosity determination were used to study the interaction of the anti tumor active Et2SnCl2 with DNA. The results indicate that Et2SnCl2 mainly reacts electrostatically with the phosphate backbone of DNA, leading to an increase of the relative viscosity of DNAand the occurring of hypochromism of DNA. No hyperchromism was observed during the whole reaction process. The molecular action mechanism of Et2SnCl2 with DNAwas proposed.

Key words: Antitumor, Et2SnCl2, DNA
