Derivatives of camptothecin as represented by the general formula:
are described, wherein when R1 is H, R. is a C2-C4 alkyl group, a C6-C15 alkyl group, a C3-C8 cycloalkyl group, a C2-C15 alkenyl group or a C2-C15 epoxy group; and when R2 is a nitro group or an amino group, R1 is a C1-C15 alkyl group, a C1-C15 alkenyl group, a C3-C8 cycloalkyl group, or an epoxy group. Liposomal prodrugs including these specific derivatives of camptothecin restrained by a liposomal delivery system are also described. Processes for making these prodrugs and for using them in cancer treatment are also disclosed.

Eleven camptothecin esters, 6a-e and 7a-f, were prepared by straightforward acylation of camptothecins with the corresponding acylating reagents such as organic anhydrides and carboxylic acid chlorides. The in vitro pharmacokinetic determination of lactone levels of esters 6a and 7b showed that the biological life span of their lactone forms in human and mouse plasma significantly increased when compared with their mother compounds, camptothecin (3) and 9-nitrocamptothecin (4). The differences of lactone levels between human plasma and mouse plasma for 6a and 7b were much smaller than what was observed for their mother compounds. The in vivo antitumor activity and toxicity studies demonstrated that some of these esters were very active against human tumor xenografts in nude mice and had an exceptional lack of toxicity in nude mice, even at enormous doses.

Liposomal prodrugs include specific derivatives of camptothecin restrained by a liposomal delivery system. The derivatives of camptothecin are represented by the general formula: ##STR1## wherein when R.sub.2 is H, R.sub.1 is a C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 alkyl group, a C.sub.6 -C.sub.15 alkyl group, a C.sub.3 -C.sub.8 cycloalkyl group, a C.sub.2 -C.sub.15 alkenyl group or a C.sub.2 -C.sub.15 epoxy group; and when R.sub.2 is a nitro group, R.sub.1 is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.15 alkyl group, a C.sub.2 -C.sub.15 alkenyl group, a C.sub.3 -C.sub.8 cycloalkyl group, or an epoxy group. Processes for making these prodrugs and for using them in cancer treatment are also disclosed.
