Due to complexity of tumor diseases and resistance of targeted drug, targeted drug usually cannot meet the needs of cancer treatment. Therefore, the conjugate constructed by two anticancer agents maybe a better solution for the tumor diseases. As natural anticancer agents, icaritin and norcantharidin are selected for the construction of conjugate. In the condition of EDCI/DMAP, icaritin is reacted with norcantharidin esters to give the desired 7-esters selectively in a moderate yield. MTT method was used to test the cytotoxicity and intensity on Hep G2 and MCF-7 in vitro. Some of the compounds (4a, 4i and 4j) show a better inhibition against Hep G2 and MCF-7 cell lines in vitro, and are deserved to be a potential drug candidate to develop in vivo.
