The invention relates to phenylbutyryl curcumin derivate and application thereof in anti-tumor drug preparation, in particular to 4-(di(2-chloroethyl) amino) phenylbutyryl curcumin, 4,4'-(di(2-chloroethyl)amino) diphenylbutyryl curcumin, pharmaceutically acceptable salts and a preparation method thereof, and applications of 4-(di(2-chloroethyl) amino) phenylbutyryl curcumin, and 4,4'-(di(2-chloroethyl)amino) di phenylbutyryl curcumin in anti-tumor drug preparation. The phenylbutyryl curcumin derivate can be used for (but not limited to) preparing drugs for treating leukemia, skin cancer, gastric cancer, colon cancer, liver cancer, breast cancer or prostatic cancer. The derivate has obvious inhibition on a plurality of animal tumor cell transplanting modules, especially for the human chronic granulocytic leukemia model constructed by NOD-SCID mice inoculated with the human chronic granulocytic leukemia K562 cell stain, the life prolonging rate is obviously enhanced, and the serious toxicity to mice does not exist.
