BACKGROUND ART
Peptides having a cytostatic activity and/or an antineoplasm activity have been isolated from marine molluscs, sea hare Dolabella auricularia and these peptides are called dolastatins 1 to 15. Among them, dolastatin 10 is a pentapeptide extracted from Dolabella auricularia from the Indian Ocean in 1987 by G. R. Pettit, et al. and having the following structural formula, and is said to be the strongest cytostatic substance presently known (see G. R. Pettit, et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 109, 6883 (1987) and Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 167278/1992). ##STR9##
Further, recently, publication was made on the total synthesis of dolastatin 10 itself (see, U.S. Pat. No. 4,978,744), but its derivatives have not so far been known at all.
The present inventors had intensely studied about derivatives of dolastatin 10, and as a result they found that certain dolastatin analogs represented by the above formula (I) have a higher cytostatic activity than dolastatin 10. They further found that many of these compounds have a larger therapeutic ratio (maximum effective dose/dose at 30% prolongation of life) and a lower toxicity than dolastatin 10, and are thus excellent as an antitumor agent.
Namely, they found not only that amino acid analogs of dolastatin 10 exhibit a higher activity than the native dolastatin 10, but that the activity is, unexpectedly, extremely increased by introducing a carboxyl derivative into the thiazole ring. Further, they found, throughly astoundingly, that derivatives wherein the thiazole ring is eliminated show extremely higher activity than dolastatin 10.
DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION

In the above groups, Me, Et, Pr, Bu, Pe, Bzl, Ph and Np mean a methyl group, an ethyl group, a propyl group, a butyl group, a pentyl group, a benzyl group, a phenyl group and a naphthyl group, respectively.
The tetrapeptide derivatives of the above formula (I) can exist as a salt, and examples of such salts, there can be mentioned hydrochlorides, hydrobromides, trifuloroacetates, p-toluenesulfonates and acetates.
According to this invention, a tetrapeptide derivative of the above formula (I) can be prepared by condensing amino acid or peptide fragments, for example according to the liquid phase synthesis method (see, E. Schroder and K. Lubke, "The Peptides", volume 1, pages 76-136, 1965, published by Academic Press) well known in the field of peptide chemistry. However, it is most preferable to synthesize these tetrapeptide derivatives by condensing a tripeptide fragment of the following formula (II) ##STR29## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 have the same meanings as defined above,
with a fragment of the following formula (III) ##STR30## wherein R.sub.4 has the same meaning as defined above, Q.sub.1 represents a group of ##STR31## or -A.sub.2 -R.sub.7 wherein Y.sub.1 represents a hydrogen atom or a methoxycarbonyl group, and A.sub.1, A.sub.2 and R.sub.7 have the same meanings as defined above,
because each fragments of the formulae (II) and (III) is easy to synthesize and is free from racemization at their condensation step. A compound in the case where, in the group Q, the substituent Y at the 4-position of the thiazole ring represents the group --COR.sub.6 other than a methoxycarbonyl group, can be obtained by preparing a compound of the formula (I) wherein Y represents a methoxycarbonyl group and then converting the methoxycarbonyl group to a group --COR.sub.6.
The reaction can generally be carried out by treating the above fragments (II) and (III) with a condensing agent, e.g. dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC), diphenyl phosphoryl azide (DPPA) or diethyl phosphorocyanidate (DEPC), a so-called BOP reagent, or the like in an inert solvent such as, for example, chloroform, ethyl acetate, tetrahydrofuran (THF), dimethylformamide (DMF) or acetonitrile, if necessary in the presence of an organic base such as, for example, triethylamine, N-methylmorpholine or diisopropylethylamine (DIEA).
The reaction temperature is usually -10.degree. C. to room temperature, preferably around 0.degree. C., and as for use rates of the compound of the formula (III), the organic base and the condensing agent based on the compound of the formula (II), it is advantageous to use the compound of the formula (III) of at least one mole, preferably of the order of 1.0 to 1.1 moles, the organic base of the order of 2 moles, and the condensing agent of the equimolar order, respectively per mole of the compound of the formula (II).
The conversion of a compound wherein the substituent Y at the 4-position of the thiazole ring in the group Q represents a methoxycarbonyl group to a compound wherein the substituent Y represents a group --CO--R.sub.6 can easily be carried out, for example, when R.sub.6 represents a hydroxyl group, by hydrolyzing the former compound with an alkali; when R.sub.6 represents a lower alkoxy group or aralkyloxy group, by esterifying a compound wherein R.sub.6 represents a hydroxyl group according to a conventional method; and when R.sub.6 represents ##STR32## by treating the compound wherein the substituent Y represents a methoxycarbonyl group with ammonia, a primary amine or a secondary amine.
Thus, the desired tetrapeptide derivatives of the formula (I) are formed, and the isolation and purification thereof from the reaction mixtures can be carried out by recrystallization, ion exchange chromatography, gel filtration, high performance liquid chromatography, etc.
The compounds of the above formulae (II) and (III) used as starting materials in the above reaction are novel compounds not disclosed in prior literatures, and can easily be prepared by condensing amino acids, which are constituents thereof, according to a liquid phase synthesis method.
The tetrapeptide derivatives of the formula (I) of this invention have a higher cytostatic activity than dolastatin 10, and are useful for treatment of acute myelocytic leukemia, acute lymphocytic leukemia, chronic melanoma, pulmonary adenocarcinoma, neuroblastoma, pulmonary small cell carcinoma, breast cancer, colon cancer, ovary cancer, bladder cancer, etc.
The screening of cytostatic activity was made using lymphocytic leukemia P388 cells. The results are shown in the following Table.

Preparation of Compound 4-A (Compound 4 Wherein R.sub.3 =CH.sub.3)
6.60 g (21.36 mmoles) of the compound 3-A obtained in Referential Example 3-A is dissolved in 100 ml of dioxane, 23.5 ml (23.5 mmoles) of 1N sodium hydroxide is added, and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours. 20% citric acid is added to the reaction solution to make the pH 4.0, the mixture is concentrated under reduced pressure, and the deposited oily matter is extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer is washed with saturated saline and dried, and the solvent is distilled off to give a colorless--pale yellow oily matter.
This is dissolved in 60 ml of dichloromethane, 0.8 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid is added, and the mixture is shaken with 25 ml of isobutene in a pressure bottle at room temperature for 48 to 96 hours. The reaction solution is poured into saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate, nitrogen gas is blown thereinto to remove isobutene and the greater part of dichloromethane, the deposited oily matter is extracted with ethyl acetate, and the ethyl acetate layer is washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate and dried. The solvent is distilled off, and the remaining yellow oily matter (7.32 g) is purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent:benzene-ethyl acetate (10:1)) to obtain 6.31 g (84.1%) of the desired compound 4-A as a colorless--pale yellow oily matter.
