     FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention is related to the field of antitumor agents, in particular to a α-(3,5-dimethoxybenzylidene)-α′-hydrocarbyl methylene cyclic ketone and preparation method thereof. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     Cancer has become one of major diseases which are increasingly common and threaten human life and the quality of life, and tumor has risen to No. 2 “killer” in the world after cardiovascular disease, but the lesions and metastasis of cancer cells as well as mechanism of action of drugs on cancer cells are still not clear. Now the treatment of cancer is still largely chemotherapy based on antitumor agent, but chemical drugs have toxic side effects, multi-drug resistance and other issues. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors acting on related tumor cells can enhance tumor cell destruction and reduce the adverse effects on normal tissue cells and so on. These drugs have non-cytotoxicity, targeting, regulation and cell stabilizing effects, its toxicity and clinical manifestations are very different from commonly used cytotoxic drugs, there will be better effects when combined with conventional chemotherapy or radiotherapy. 
     Resveratrol is a natural polyphenolic compound, mainly from the rhizome extract of  Polygonum cuspidatum , with a variety of biological effects, including the neuroprotective effect, cardiovascular protective effect, anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor effects, etc., which especially has important clinical value in inhibition of liver cancer, stomach cancer, leukemia, cervical cancer, esophageal cancer and other cancers. Resveratrol exhibits inhibition in the onset, promotion and development phases of cancer, making it apply to the field of chemoprevention and therapy of cancer. 
     Curcumin, extracted from rhizome of the ginger family plant turmeric,  curcuma zedoaria , is an important active ingredient with strong pharmacological activity and broad indications, which has a variety of pharmacological effects including anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-angiogenic, anti-mutagenic, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-oxidant and neuroprotectioneffects. The anti-tumor effect of curcumin includes in vitro growth inhibition and induction of apoptosis on a variety of tumor cells, and in vivo inhibition of tumorigenesis, but the properties of curcumin, e.g. low in vivo activity, little in vivo absorption less, fast metabolism and low bioavailability, greatly limit its application.

     The effects on tumor cell proliferation: the antiproliferative activities of α-(3,5-dimethoxy-benzylidene)-α′-hydrocarbonyl methylene cyclic ketone on human hepatoma HepG2 tumor cell lines and human cutaneous melanoma A16-F10 cell lines were evaluated using methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay. 
     Experimental procedures are performed as follows: tumor cells in DMEM culture medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum, 100 U·mL −1  penicillin and 100 U·mL −1  streptomycin were cultured in an incubator under 5% CO 2  and saturated humidity at 37. Test compounds were dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide and then diluted with DMEM culture medium to the corresponding concentration, wherein the final concentration of dimethyl sulfoxide was less than 0.01%. 
     The tumor cells in the exponential growth phase were taken out, digested with trypsin, counted, and the number of the cells was adjusted with the culture solution to 1×105 cells/mL, then the cells were inoculated into 96-well plates with each well 200 μL and cultured for 12 h, followed by added with the drug. Negative control group, the blank control group and experimental groups were separately set up, each group with three double-wells. The negative control group was only added with cells but without the drug, the blank control group wad only added with dimethyl sulfoxide solution. The experimental group was added at each well with 11 μL solution containing different concentrations of the sample to be tested, such that the final concentration of the drug were 40.0, 20.0, 10.0, 5.0, 1.0 and 0.1 g/mL. The cells were cultured for additional 48 h in a incubator with 5% CO 2  at 37, subsequently the culture solution was gently sucked out and each well was added with 200 μL 0.5 mg/mL of MTT solution. The cells were cultured for another 6 h, then the MTT culture solution was sucked out and each well was added with 150 μL dimethyl sulfoxide, followed by oscillation dissolved for 10 min. The absorbance OD values in each well were measured at the measurement wavelength 570 nm and the reference wavelength 630 nm using a microplate reader. The experiment was repeated three times, wherein the inhibition rate (%)=(negative control OD value−test compound OD value)/(negative control OD value−blank control OD value)×100%. The results are shown in Table 1 and Table 2. 
     Determination of the inhibitory effect of the compound on EGFR: the kinase activity of EGFR was detected according to time-resolved fluorescence detection technology to evaluate automatic phosphorylation levels. The test compound was dissolved in 100% DMSO, diluted with 25 mM HEPES (pH=7.4) to the desired concentration, added into each well with 10 μL of the test compounds and 10 μL solution containing 5 ng EGFR, then cultured for 10 min at room temperature using the recombinase diluted by 100 mM HEPES with a dilution ratio of 1:80, subsequently added with 10 μL solution containing 20 mM HEPES, 2 mM MnCl 2 , 100 μM Na 3 VO 4 , 1 mM DTT buffer, and 20 μL of 0.1 mM ATP and 50 mM MgCl 2  and cultured for 1 h. The positive group in each plate was added with ATP-MgCl 2  enzyme, the negative control group without adding with ATP-MgCl 2  enzyme, the liquid was sucked out completely after cultured for 1 h, and each well was washed with buffer for three times. The wells were added with 75 μL anti-phosphorylated tyrosine antibody containing 400 ng europium labeling and cultured 1 h, washed, then added with enhancing solution. At the excitation wavelength 340 nm and the emission wavelength 615 nm, the fluorescence intensities were detected by using Victor type 2 time-resolved luminoscope, wherein the inhibitory rate of the compound on automatic phosphorylation: the inhibitory rate of autophosphorylation=100%−[(negative control)/(positive control−negative control)]. The results are shown in Table 1.
