TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a novel baccatin derivative having an antitumor activity, and processes for preparing the same.
PRIOR ART
It has been known that taxol [4.alpha.,10.beta.-diacetoxy-13.alpha.-[(2R,3S)-3-benzoylamino-2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionyloxy]-2.alpha.-benzoyloxy-5.beta.,20-epoxy-1.beta.,7.beta.-dihydroxytax-11-en-9-one] is diterpenoide obtained from Taxus brevifolia, and has an excellent antitumor activity on various kinds of cancers, but its water-solubility is extremely low, i.e. 0.004 mg/ml or less [Nature, Vol. 346, p. 464 (1993)], which is a clinical problem.
In order to improve the antitumor activity of taxol, the modification of hydroxyl group at 10-position thereof and/or amino group in a side chain at 13-position thereof have been reported [e.g., Japanese Provisional Patent Publications Nos. 30478/1988 and 30479/1988, Tetrahedron Letters, Vol. 33, p. 5185 (1992) and Tetrahedron, Vol. 45, p. 4177 (1989) etc.]. Examples which improve the water-solubility of taxol by modifying hydroxyl group in a side chain at 13-position and/or hydroxyl group at 7-position thereof with a hydrophilic group are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,960,790, 5,059,699, and 5,283,253, and Japanese Provisional Patent Publication No. 1782/1994. U.S. Pat. No. 4,960,790 discloses taxol derivatives obtained by modifying hydroxyl group in a side chain at 13-position thereof and/or hydroxyl group at 7-position thereof directly with the residues obtained from amino acids such as alanine, leucine, isoleucine, and the like. There have been described taxol derivatives obtained by modifying hydroxyl group in a side chain at 13-position thereof with a group such as --CO--(CH.sub.y).sub.m --CO--NH--(CH.sub.2).sub.2 --SO.sub.3 -M (wherein y is 1 or 2, m is 1 to 3, M is hydrogen atom, an alkali metal atom, and the like, e.g., sodium 4-(2-sulfonatoethyl)amino-1,4-dioxobutyl group) in U.S. Pat. No. 5059699. In Japanese Provisional Patent Publication No. 1782/1994, there have been described taxol derivatives obtained by esterifing hydroxyl group in a side chain at 13-position, hydroxyl group at 7-position, and/or hydroxyl group at 10-position thereof with phosphoric acid or carbonic acid. Furthermore, in U.S. Pat. No. 5,283,253, taxol derivatives obtained by modifying amino group in a side chain at 13-position thereof with furancarbonyl group or thiophenecarbonyl group and hydroxyl group in a side chain at 13-position and/or hydroxyl group at 7-position thereof with a carboxyl group-substituted or carbamoyl group-substituted lower alkanoyl group and the like are disclosed. Meanwhile, WO 94-10997 discloses a taxol derivative, which is obtained by replacing phenyl group in a side chain at 13-position thereof by cyclopropyl group, and has acetoxy group at 10-position.
However, heretofore, it has not been reported that a taxol derivative having high water-solubility, stability, and excellent antitumor activity is used clinically.

(1) To 13.13 g of (1R,2R)-2-methylyclcopropyl-1,2-bis(isopropyloxycarbonyl)methylene acetal in a mixture of 40 ml of tetrahydrofuran and 80 ml of water is added 9.15 g of p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate. The reaction mixture is refluxed under heating of 8 hours. After the reaction mixture is cooled, a saturated aqueous solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate and 400 ml of toluene are added to the mixture. The aqueous layer is extracted with toluene twice. After the organic layer is dried over sodium sulfate, inorganic materials are removed by filtration. A 27.09 g of benzyloxycarbonylmethylenetriphenylphosphorane is added to the solution. The mixture is stirred at 80.degree. C. for 18 hours. The solvent is removed in vacuo and the residue is purified by silica gel column chromatography (solvent;hexane:ethyl acetate=15:1)to give 6.67 g of benzyl trans-3-(2-methyl)cyclopropylacrylate. Benzyl trans-3-(2-methyl)cyclopropylacrylate is treated in the same manner as described in Example 1 (2)-(8) to give (4S,5R)-3-tert-butoxycarbonyl-2,2-dimeth yl-4-[(1R,2R)-2-methyl]cyclopropyl-5-oxazolidinecarboxylic acid.

Effects of the Invention
The compound [I] or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in the present invention has high water-solubility, high stability, and also an excellent antitumor activity. For example, the taxol derivative in the present invention exhibits excellent antitumor activities and life-prolongating effects on mice to which P-388 cells are transplanted intraperitoneally, nude mice to which human breast carcinoma MX-1 cells are transplanted subcutaneously, or mice to which B16 melanoma cells are transplanted intraperitoneally or subcutaneously.
Further, the taxol derivative or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in the present invention has low toxicity. For example, when 4.alpha.-acetoxy-13.alpha.-{(2R,3S)-3-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-2-[((3S)-3-amino-3-ethoxycarbonylpropionyloxy)acetoxy]-3-cyclopropylpropionyloxy}-2.alpha.-benzoyloxy-5.beta., 20-epoxy-1.beta.,7.beta.,10.beta.-trihydroxytax-11-en-9-one methanesulfonate is intravenously administered (25 mg/kg) for 5 days once a day to BDF.sub.1 mice to which B16 melanoma cells transplanted subcutaneously, no death of mice is observed in more than 30 days.
Thus, the compound [I] in the present invention can be suitably used for rnedical treatment of a wide range of tumors such as breast cancer, ovary cancer, lung cancer, malignant melanoma, and the like.
