Platinum complexes and uses therewith

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to water-soluble platinum complexes of cis-diaminocyclohexanol or cis-diaminocyclohexane, and to anti-tumor agents containing the same.
2. Description of the Background
Since the high anti-tumor activity of cisplatin [cis-dichlorodiamineplatinum(II)] was reported in Nature, 222, 385 (1969), extensive studies have been made on this compound as an anti-tumor agent. As a result, it is widely used clinically as an anti-cancer agent of high efficacy throughout the world. However, it has severe side effects, such as toxicity to the kidney, nausea, emesis and bradyacusia, and readily causes drug resistance. Under the circumstances, researchers over the world have attempted to synthesize second-generation platinum complexes which have medical efficacy comparable with cisplatin or but which are free from toxicity to the kidney and other side effects, and show no cross resistance with cisplatin. As a result, the platinum(II) complex of cis-dichloro-1,2-diaminocyclohexane has been found to have some promise [Chem. Biol. Interactions, 5, 415 (1972)], but this substance has low solubility in water. Additionally, platinum complexes have been prepared by using diaminocyclohexanols as the amine component, which complexes show high inhibitory action particularly against the growth of L 1210 (mouse leukemia cells) and S-180. See Japanese Patent Kokai No. 286396 (1986).
However, all of these complexes have poor water solubility, which make them impractical for clinical use.
Thus, a need continues to exist for a platinum-containing anti-tumor agent which is readily soluble in water, exhibits high anti-tumor activity, has low toxicity and exhibits no cross-resistance with cis-platin.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a platinum-containing anti-tumor agent which has high anti-tumor activity but low toxicity.
It is also an object of this invention to provide such an anti-tumor agent having good water-solubility.
Further, it is an object of the present invention to provide such an anti-tumor agent which exhibits no cross-resistance to cis-platin.
The above objects and other objects which are described hereinbelow are provided by platinum complexes of cis-diaminocyclohexanol or cis-diaminocyclohexane having one or more of the following formulas: ##STR1## wherein X.sub.2 is a radical having one or more of the following structural formulas: ##STR2## wherein each of R.sup.1 -R.sup.8, which are the same or different, are a hydrogen atom or hydroxyl group, in which at least one of said R groups is a hydroxyl group, and wherein at least one of the two hydrogen atoms on each carbon atom constituting a cyclohexane ring is unsubstituted; R.sup.9 is hydrogen, hydroxyl, a lower alkyl, or phenyl; and R.sup.10 is hydrogen, hydroxyl, an unsubstituted amino group or an amino group which is substituted by a dimethylamino, N-acetylamino, piperidyl and pyrrolidyl group; a lower alkyl, a lower alkoxy, phenyl, or phenoxy, wherein platinum complexes of 2-deoxystreptamine in which X.sub.2 is the residue of a dicarboxylic acid derivative are excluded.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
In accordance with the present invention are provided platinum complexes of cis-diaminocyclohexanol cis-diaminocyclohexane having one or more of the following formulas: ##STR3##
In the above formulas, X.sub.2 denotes a radical represented by any one of the following structural formulas: ##STR4## wherein each of R.sup.1 -R.sup.8, which are the same or different, are a hydrogen atom or hydroxyl group, in which at least one of the R groups is a hydroxyl group, and wherein at least one of the two hydrogen atoms on each carbon atom constituting the cyclohexane ring is unsubstituted; R.sup.9 stands for hydrogen, hydroxyl, a lower alkyl of 1 to 5 carbon atoms, or phenyl; R.sup.10 is hydrogen, hydroxyl, an unsubstituted amino group or amino group which is substituted by, for example, a dimethylamino, N-acetylamino, piperidyl and pyrrolidyl group, a lower alkyl of 1 to 5 carbon atoms, a lower alkoxy of 1 to 5 carbon atoms, phenyl, or phenoxy; and wherein platinum complexes of 2-deoxystreptamine in which X.sub.2 is the residue of a dicarboxylic acid derivative are excluded.
The present platinum complexes are highly soluble in water, have inhibitory action, for example, against the growth of L 1210 (mouse leukemia cells), S-180 and Colon-38, also show inhibitory action against the growth of cisplatin-resistance cells, and hence can be used as anti-tumor agents having surprisingly superior characteristics.
The platinum sulfate complexes of the present invention may be prepared by mixing a cis-dichlorodiaminocyclohexanolplatinum(II), or a cis-dichloro-1,3-diaminocyclohexaneplatinum(II), with silver sulfate, filtering off the silver chloride thus formed, concentrating the filtrate, and adding ethanol to the concentrate.
Salts of organic acids may be prepared by mixing a cis-dichloro-diaminocyclohexanolplatinum(II), or a cis-dichloro-1,3-diaminocyclohexaneplatinum(II), with silver nitrate, filtering off the silver chloride thus formed, adding an organic acid, such as oxalic, glycolic and cyclobutane-1,1-dicarboxylic acids, to the filtrate, neutralizing the mixture with caustic soda, allowing the resulting solution to stand, collecting the precipitate thus formed, and purifying the same by known techniques, such as recrystallization and treatment with activated charcoal.
The starting material cis-dichlorodiaminocyclohexanolplatinum(II) can be easily obtained by adding an aqueous solution of a diaminocyclohexanol hydrochloride or hydrobromide to an aqueous solution of potassium chloroplatinate, neutralizing the reaction mixture with sodium bicarbonate, allowing the resulting solution to stand in a refrigerator, collecting the crystals thus formed by filtration, and then washing the same. Diaminocyclohexanols can be synthesized according to the method reported by some of the present inventors. See Bull. Chem. Soc. Jpn., 37, 733 (1964); 38, 758 (1965); 38, 2026 (1965); 39, 170 (1966); 40, 1295 (1967) or by the method reported in J. Amer. Chem. Soc., 80, 752 (1958).
Another starting material, cis-dichloro-1,3-diaminocyclohexaneplatinum(II), can also be prepared by the reaction of 1,3-diaminocyclohexane and potassium chloroplatinate in the same manner as described above.
The platinum complexes thus obtained may be used as an anti-tumor agent, for example, in the form of a suspension.
The suitable unit dose of active ingredient is in the range of about 0.01 to 2000 mg, i.e., a total of 0.02 to 500 mg a day. The amount actually used may be varied within the above range depending on the severity of disease, body weight of patient and other factors generally accepted by those skilled in the art.
The present compounds may be mixed with physiologically acceptable additives, such as a vehicle, carrier, excipient, binder, preservative, stabilizer and perfume, and fabricated into commonly used dosage forms so that each unit dose will contain the active ingredient in the amount of 0.02 to 500 mg.
Parenteral injections can be prepared by dissolving or suspending the active ingredient in sterile water together with a vegetable oil, such as sesame oil, coconut oil, peanut oil and cottonseed oil, or a synthetic oily vehicle, such as ethyl oleate, and, as required, a buffering agent, preservative, antioxidant or other additives.

EXAMPLE 12
Test inhibitory activity against the growth of cis-platin-resistant cells
L1210 cells and cisplatin-resistant L1210 cells under subcultivation were incubated in RPMI1640 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum at 37.degree. C. for 46 hours in an atmosphere containing 5% carbon dioxide. [.sup.3 H]-thymidine was added to the grown cells, and incubation was continued for an additional two hours. The growth inhibition rate of a drug was calculated from the amounts of [.sup.3 H]-thymidine taken into the cells in the presence and absence of that drug, and the 50% growth inhibition concentration (IC.sub.50) was determined from the graph of inhibition rate plotted against drug concentration. The degree of drug resistance was calculated from the ratio of IC.sub.50 for cisplatin-resistant L1210 cells to that for L1210 cells.
The results are summarized in Table 4, which indicate that the platinum complexes of this invention show practically no cross reference with cisplatin.
