C.
The protection of the hydroxyl functional group of the product of general formula (VIII) defined by --O--G'.sub.2 in the form of an alkoxyacetyl radical is preferably carried out by reacting with an acid halide of general formula:

C.
The product of general formula (XI) can be obtained by electrolytic reduction of a product of general formula: ##STR11## in which G'.sub.1 and G'.sub.2 are defined as above and G'.sub.3 represents a hydrogen atom or a protective group of the hydroxyl functional group identical to G'.sub.1, the reaction being carried out under conditions identical to those used for the electrolytic reduction of a product of general formula (VIII).

The new products of general formula (I) manifest significant inhibitory activity with respect to abnormal cell proliferation, and possess therapeutic properties that enable patients having pathological conditions associated with an abnormal cell proliferation to be treated. The pathological conditions include the abnormal cell proliferation of malignant or nonmalignant cells of various tissues and/or organs comprising, without implied limitation, muscle, bone or connective tissue, the skin, brain, lungs, sex organs, lymphatic or renal systems, mammary or blood cells, liver, digestive system, pancreas and thyroid or adrenal glands. These pathological conditions can also include psoriasis, solid tumors, cancers of the ovary, breast, brain, prostate, colon, stomach, kidney or testicles, Kaposi's sarcoma, cholangiocarcinoma, choriocarcinoma, neuroblastoma, Wiims' tumor, Hodgkin's disease, melanomas, multiple myeloma, chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, and acute or chronic granulocytic lymphoma. The new products according to the invention are especially useful for the treatment of cancer of the ovary. The products according to the invention may be used to prevent or delay the appearance or reappearance of the pathological conditions, or for treating these pathological conditions.
The products according to the invention may be administered to a patient according to different forms suited to the chosen administration route, which is preferably the parenteral route. Parenteral administration comprises intravenous, intraperitoneal, intramuscular or subcutaneous administrations. Intraperitoneal or intravenous administration is more especially preferred.
The present invention also comprises pharmaceutical compositions containing at least one product of general formula (I) in a sufficient amount suitable for use in human or veterinary therapy. The compositions may be prepared according to the customary methods, using one or more pharmaceutically acceptable adjuvants, vehicles or excipients. Appropriate vehicles include diluents, sterile aqueous media and various nontoxic solvents. Preferably, the compositions take the form of aqueous solutions or suspensions, injectable solutions which can contain emulsifying agents, colorants, preservatives or stabilizers.
The choice of adjuvants or excipients may be determined by the solubility and chemical properties of the product, the particular mode of administration and good pharmaceutical practice.
For parenteral administration, sterile aqueous or nonaqueous solutions or suspensions are used. For the preparation of nonaqueous solutions or suspensions, natural vegetable oils such as olive oil or sesame oil or liquid paraffin or injectable organic esters such as ethyl oleate may be used. The sterile aqueous solutions can consist of a solution of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt dissolved in water. Aqueous solutions are suitable for intravenous administration provided the pH is appropriately adjusted and the solution is made isotonic, for example with a sufficient amount of sodium chloride or glucose. The sterilization may be carried out by heating or by any other means which does not adversely affect the composition.
It is obvious that all the products participating in the compositions according to the invention must be pure and nontoxic in the amounts used.
The compositions can contain at least 0.01% of therapeutically active product. The amount of active product in a composition is such as to enable an appropriate dosage to be prescribed. Preferably, the compositions are prepared in such a way that a single dose contains from 0.01 to 1,000 mg approximately of active product for parenteral administration.
The therapeutic treatment may be carried out conjointly with other therapeutic treatments including antineoplastic medicinal products, monoclonal antibodies, immunological therapies or radiotherapies or biological-response modifiers. The response modifiers include, without implied limitation, lymphokines and cytokines such as interleukins, interferons (.alpha., .beta. or .delta.) and TNF. Other chemotherapeutic agents which are useful in the treatment of disorders due to abnormal cell proliferation include, without implied limitation, alkylating agents such as nitrogen mustards, for instance mechlorethamine, cyclophosphamide, melphalan and chlorambucil, alkyl sulphonates such as busulphan, nitrosoureas such as carmustine, lomustine, semustine and streptozocin, triazenes such as dacarbazine, antimetabolites such as folic acid analogues, for instance methotrexate, pyrimidine analogues such as fluorouracil and cytarabine, purine analogues such as mercaptopurine and thioguanine, natural products such as vinca alkaloids, for instance vinblastine, vincristine and vendesine, epipodophyllotoxins such as etoposide and teniposide, antibiotics such as dactinomycin, daunorubicin, doxorubicin, bleomycin, plicamycin and mitomycin, enzymes such as L-asparaginase, various agents such as coordination complexes of platinum, for example cisplatin, substituted ureas such as hydroxyurea, methylhydrazine derivatives such as procarbazine, adrenocorticoid suppressants such as mitotane and aminoglutethimide, hormones and antagonists such as adrenocorticosteroids such as prednisone, progestins such as hydroxyprogesterone caproate, methoxyporogesterone acetate and megestrol acetate, oestrogens such as diethylstilboestrol and ethinyloestradiol, antioestrogens such as tamoxifen, and androgens such as testosterone propionate and fluoxymesterone.
The doses used for implementing the methods according to the invention are those which permit a prophylactic treatment or a maximum therapeutic response. The doses vary according to the form of administration, the particular product selected and the features distinctive to the subject to be treated. In general, the doses are those which are therapeutically effective for the treatment of disorders due to an abnormal cell proliferation. The products according to the invention may be administered as often as necessary to obtain the desired therapeutic effect. Some patients may respond rapidly to relatively high or low doses, and then require low or zero maintenance doses. Generally, low doses will be used at the beginning of the treatment and, if necessary, increasingly higher doses will be administered until an optimum effect is obtained. For other patients, it may be necessary to administer maintenance doses 1 to 8 times daily, preferably 1 to 4 times, according to the physiological requirements of the patient in question. For some patients, it is also possible for it to be necessary to use only one to two daily administrations.
In humans, the doses are generally between 0.01 and 200 mg/kg. Intraperitoneally, the doses will generally be between 0.1 and 100 mg/kg, and preferably between 0.5 and 50 mg/kg, and still more specifically between 1 and 10 mg/kg. Intravenously, the doses are generally between 0.1 and 50 mg/kg, and preferably between 0.1 and 5 mg/kg, and still more specifically between 1 and 2 mg/kg. It is understood that, in order to choose the most suitable dosage, account should be taken of the administration route, the patient's weight, general state of health and age and all factors which may influence the efficacy of the treatment.
The following example illustrates a composition according to the invention.
Example
40 mg of the product obtained in Example 1 are dissolved in 1 cm.sup.3 of Emulphor EL 620 and 1 cm.sup.3 of ethanol and the solution is then diluted by addition of 18 cm.sup.3 of physiological saline.
The composition is administered by perfusion for 1 hour by introduction in physiological solution.
Although the invention has been described in conjunction with specific embodiments, it is evident that many alternatives and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the foregoing description. Accordingly, the invention is intended to embrace all of the alternatives and variations that fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims. The above references are hereby incorporated by reference.
