New camptothecin derivatives possessing high anti-tumor activity and slight toxicity are represented by the general fnrmula:
wherein R' is a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, a hydroxyl group, an alkoxy group or an acyloxy group, R2 is a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an aralkyl group, a hydroxymethyl group, a carboxymethyl group or an acyloxymethyl group, and R3 is the grouping -XR' (in which a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group or an acyl group and X is an oxygen atom or a sulfur atom), a nitro group, an amino group, an alkylamino group, an acylamino group or a halogen atom, with the proviso that when R' and R2 are both hydrogen atoms, R3 is not a hydroxyl group, methoxy group or acetoxy group. Such derivatives may be prepared by treating a 5-R1-7-R2- camptothecin derivative with a peroxidant and then reacting the resultant 5-R'-7-R2-camptothecin-1-oxide with an active hydrogen compound under irradiation with UV-rays or by catalytically hydrogenating the ring B of camptothecin in a solvent, treating the resultant tetrahydro product with an acylating agent, introducing a nitro group into the 10- position of the acylated product by reaction with nitric acid, splitting off the acyl group in the 10-nitro product by hydrolysis and treating the hydrolyzed tetrahydro product with an oxidizing agent for dehydrogenation, and if desired, reducing the nitro group in the resultant product to amino group and modifying the amino group by N-alkylation, N-acylation or by diazotization followed by hydrolysis or a Sandmeyer reaction, before or after oxidation of the 10-nitro- tetrahydro product.
具有高抗肿瘤活性和轻微毒性的喜树碱新衍生物由通式表示:
其中,R'是氢原子、烷基、羟基、烷氧基或酰氧基;R2是氢原子、烷基、芳基、羟甲基、羧甲基或酰氧基;R3是基团-XR'(其中氢原子、烷基或酰基和X是氧原子或硫原子)、R'和 R2 都是氢原子时,R3 不是羟基、甲氧基或乙酰氧基。此类衍生物的制备方法如下:用过氧化物处理 5-R1-7-R2- 喜树碱衍生物,然后在紫外线照射下使生成的 5-R'-7-R2 喜树碱-1-氧化物与活性氢化合物反应,或者在溶剂中催化喜树碱环 B 的氢化,用酰化剂处理生成的四氢产物,通过与硝酸反应在酰化产物的 10-位引入硝基、在 10-硝基-四氢产物氧化之前或之后,通过水解将 10-硝基产物中的酰基分 离,并用氧化剂处理水解后的四氢产物以进行脱氢,如果需要,将所得产物中 的硝基还原为氨基,并通过 N-烷基化、N-酰基化或重氮化修饰氨基,然后进行水 解或桑德迈尔反应。
