Abstract
11-Amino-11-deoxydaunorubicin and analogs represented by the formula: ##STR1## wherein: R is hydrogen, hydroxy or methoxy; R.sub.1 is hydrogen or hydroxy; and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.The compounds are useful in ameliorating tumor growth.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Adriamycin is one of the most widely used and useful anti-tumor drugs available. However, because of its cardiac toxicity, its use is limited. Various investigators have sought analogs of adriamycin which retain the antitumor activity of the parent antibiotic but which lack the undesirable cardiac toxicity. See for example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,046,878 which discloses daunorubicin derivatives, including 4-demethoxydaunorubicin and British Pat. No. 1,003,383 which discloses daunorubicin.
In addition to the search for agents with lessened toxicity, analogs which do not exhibit cross-resistivity to tumors which have become resistant to treatment with adriamycin, daunorubicin or 4-demethoxydaunorubicin continues.
The present invention provides analogs of daunorubicin and adriamycin.
SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE
The present invention provides 11-amino-11-deoxydaunorubicin derivatives and intermediates useful in their preparation. The compounds are useful as agents which ameliorate tumor growth.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
The present invention provides 11-amino-11-deoxydaunorubicin analogs represented by Formula I: ##STR2## wherein: R is hydrogen, hydroxy or methoxy; R.sub.1 is hydrogen or hydroxy; and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salts" refers to non-toxic acid addition salts of the compounds of this invention which are generally prepared by reacting the free base with a suitable organic or inorganic acid, or in situ during the final purification. Representative salts include the hydrochloride, hydrobromide, sulfate, bisulfate, laurate, borate, benzoate, lactate, phosphate, tosylate, citrate, maleate, fumarate, tartrate, napsylate and the like salts. It will be understood that the per-salts are included within the term, i.e. dihydrochloride, etc.
Compounds of Formula I are useful as agents to ameliorate tumor growth in mammals when administered parenterally, i.e. intravenously, at doses of from 40 to 50 mg/m.sup.2 as a single intravenous injection administered at 21 day intervals or 20 mg/m.sup.2 on each of three successive days repeated every four weeks.
Intermediates useful in the preparation of compounds of Formula I are represented by Formula II: ##STR3## wherein R.sub.1 is hydrogen, hydroxy or methoxy; R.sub.2 is ethynyl or acetyl; R.sub.3 is acetyl or hydroxy; and R.sub.4 is hydroxy, trimethylsilyl or ##STR4## wherein: R.sub.5 is hydrogen or trifluoroacetyl; R.sub.6 is 4-nitrobenzoyloxy or hydroxy; and R.sub.7 is hydrogen or trifluoroacetyl.
The preparation of the compounds of the present invention is summarized in the following reaction schemes: ##STR5##
The following examples further illustrate the present invention. The Roman numerals used in the examples correspond to those used to identify compounds in the preceding reaction scheme.

The antineoplastic activity of the compounds of this invention was first established against L-1210 leukemia. The relative activities against the L-1210 leukemia and the L cell cytotoxicity was determined and compared to that of adriamycin.
EXAMPLE 18
Comparison of Compound XII(R=H) Adriamycin and 4-Demethoxydaunorubicin Against L-1210 Leukemia
Donor mice were implanted with L-1210 leukemia cells i.p. On the sixth day following implant, the mice were sacrificed. Tumor cells were collected from the peritoneal cavity, suspended in saline solution, and 10.sup.5 cells per mouse were implanted i.v. into BDF.sub.1 male mice weighing 18-20 grams. Ten mice per treatment group were employed and the day of implantation considered as day 0. A single dose of test compound was administered by i.v. injection 24 hours following the implant of L-1210 tumor cells. The animals were observed and the survival pattern was compared with that of control mice which received the same tumor implant but were not treated with drug. Results are presented as %ILS (increase in life span over control animals) in Table 3 below.

The preferred route of administration is the intravenous route for Compound XII. The compound appears to be inactive against P-388 L-1210 leukemias when administered orally, and is less active when administered intraperitoneally.
