The invention discloses a new medicament application of cucurbitacins, namely an application of mixing effective monomers of cucurbitacins in medicament for treating leukaemia or an application of effective monomers of cucurbitacins to independently treating leukaemia, belonging to the technical field of medicament. The cucurbitacins with nano-mole concentration can obviously inhibit multiplication of leukaemia HL60 and K562 cells; the cucurbitacins have no cell toxic effect to human leukaemia cells in a multiplication inhibiting concentration range; and the multiplication inhibiting effect to leukaemia cells in vitro is stronger than that to solid tumour cells. Further researches suggest that the cucurbitacins with micro-mole concentration can induce apoptosis of leukaemia HL60 cells by increasing cucurbitacin concentration. Anti-tumour researches in vivo suggest that the cucurbitacins can prolong survival time of a small mouse P388 leukaemia animal model. The effective monomers of cucurbitacins in resisting leukaemia have obvious effect, low toxicity, long lasting drug administration, can be used for both chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and are promising to be further developed into the medicament for treating leukaemia.
