Abstract: An investigation into the effect of several novel well-designed guanidinium salt ionic liquids(GILs) on inhibitting tumor growth is described. The GILs which have longer alkyl chain(6―18 carbon atoms) exhibit the high cytotoxicity to Hela299, B16 and SMMC-7721 cells so as to inhibit their proliferation. The inhibitory effect of the most effective GIL12 is about 10-fold higher than that of MMC(a common chemotherapy drug in clinic).

Key words: Ionic liquid, Inhibitor, Tumor, Cell
