     It has been found by the present inventors that the platinum complexes containing these anions as provided in the present invention are novel compounds exhibiting excellent antitumor activity which have not known yet. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     Since the discovery of antitumor activity of cisplatin, i.e., cis-(NH 3 ) 2  PtCl 2  by B. Rosenberg (Nature, 205,698 (1965)), comprehensive studies including its clinical tests have been performed leading to FDA approval of cisplatin as a chemotherapeutic antitumor agent in 1979. Currently, cisplatin is one of the most widely used antitumor agents and, in particular, is effective for testicular, ovarian, bladder, lung, bone marrow, and larynx cancers, but because of its high toxicity (LD 50  =13 mg/kg, M. J. Cleare, Biochimie, 60, 835(1978)), its use is limited. On the other hand, carboplatin, i.e., cis-(NH 3 ) 2  Pt(CBDCA)(CBDCA=1,1-cyclobutanedicarboxylate) which was approved by FDA in 1989, has much lower toxicity (LD 50  =180 mg/kg, M. J. Cleare, Biochimie, 60 (1978)) compared with cisplatin, but its antitumor activity is lower and more expensive than cisplatin. Therefore, a great deal of researches for searching new antitumor agents having a higher antitumor activity and lower toxicity than those of cisplatin or caroplatin is actively underway. 
     With a view to develop novel platinum antitumor agents having a higher antitumor effect and lower toxicity than those of cisplatin, the present inventors modified the molecular structure of anion and nuetral amine ligand of cisplatin to synthesize new platinum complexes and examined the physiological activity thereof. As a result, the present inventors has found that the platinum complexes bound by a malonic acid derivative containing a double bond at α-position exhibited an excellent antitumor activity and filed an application for the malonic acid derivatives platinum complexes containing sulfur atom as Korean patent application No. 91-11401 filed Jul. 5, 1991 (the corresponding U.S. application has been granted as the U.S. Pat. No. 5,142,075) wherein A═A&#39;═NH 3 , CH 3  NH 2 , C 2  H 5  NH 2 , iso-C 3  H 7  NH 2 , cyclo-C 3  H 5  NH 2 , AA&#39;═NH 2  CH 2  CH 2  NH 2 , 1,2-(NH 2 ) 2  -cyclo-C 6  H 10 , CH(OH)(CH 2  NH 2 ) 2  ; RR═--SCHCHS--, SCH 2  CH 2  S-, R═SCH 3 ). The present inventors have continued the studies and found that the platinum complexes represented by the formula I containing malonic acids without sulfur of the following general formulas II-A and II-B as anion group have superior antitumor activity to that of carboplatin and cisplatin and much lower toxicity than that of cisplatin. Moreover, the compounds of formula I of the present invention exhibit an improved water-solubility. Thus, it is possible to solve the problems as troubled in the use of cisplatin due to the low water-solubility. ##STR2## 
     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     The compounds of the present invention as represented by the formula I can be prepared, for example, according to the following procedure. 
     The esters of dicarboxylic acid of formula II is refluxed in the presence of alkali to obtain alkali metal salts of formula III and then the obtained salts are reacted with barium chloride to form barium salts of formula IV. It is also possible to react esters of dicarboxylic acid with barium hydroxide to directly obtain barium salts of formula IV. ##STR3## wherein R&#39; is ethyl or isopropyl; R is defined as previously as in formula I and; M is ammonium, sodium or potassium. 
     Then, either of the alkali metal salts of formula III or the barium salts of the formula IV are reacted with an amine-platinum intermediate such as platinum nitrate derivative of formula V or platinum sulfate derivative of formula VI, respectively, to obtain the subject platinum complexes of formula I. ##STR4## wherein A and A&#39; are defined as previously as in formula I. 
     The platinum nitrate derivatives of formula V or platinum sulfate derivatives of formula VI are prepared by reacting amineplatinum iodides of formula VII with silver nitrate and silver sulfate, respectively, in water solvent for 4 hours as taught by R. C. Harrison (Inorg. Chimica Acta, 46, L15(1980)). ##STR5## wherein A and A&#39; are defined as previously as in formula I. 
     The amineplatinum iodide VII wherein A and A&#39; are same can be easily obtained by reacting potassium tetrachloro platinate and potassium iodide and corresponding amine compounds according to M. J. Cleare (Biochimie, 60, 835(1978)). Meanwhile, the amineplatinum iodide VII wherein A and A&#39; are different from each other is obtained by reacting the above-obtained amineplatinum iodide wherein A and A&#39; are same with perchloric acid to prepare iodine-bridge bonded dimer, followed by reacting with other kind of amine, according to F. D. Rochon (Can. J. Chem., 64, 1894(1986)). 
     The detailed description of the process for the preparation of the subject compounds are as herebelow. The anion group, malonic acid derivative of formula II-A and II-B which forms the key structure of the compounds of the formula I is obtained by condensating dialkylketone such as acetone, diethylketone, and dipropylketone, or cyclic ketone such as cyclobutanone, cyclopentanone, and cyclohexanone with malonic acid ethylester or malonic acid isopropylester in the solution of tetrahydrofuran (THF) in the presence of TiCl 4  /CCl 4  catalyst in accordance with W. Lehnert (Tetrahedron 29, 635(1973)). ##STR6## wherein R&#39; is ethyl or isopropyl and n is an integer from 0 to 2. 
     Dicarboxylic acid esters of formula II as obtained above are hydrolyzed to be reacted with amine-platinum intermediates at aqueous phase. In other words, dicarboxylic acid ester of formula II is stirred in the solvent of ethanol at the room temperature in the presence of 2.0 to 2.2 equivalents of alkali such as KOH or NaOH for 5 to 20 hours to precipitate the aqueous alkali salt of formula Ill. The obtained salt is filtered, washed and then used as such in the synthesis of platinum complex, or it is reacted with equivalent barium chloride to be converted to barium salts of formula IV. Alternatively, dicarboxylic acid esters of formula II is stirred with reflux in aqueous solution for 5-7 hours in the presence of 1.0 to 1.2 equivalents of barium hydroxide(Ba(OH) 2 .8H 2  O), then cooled to the room temperature(25° C.) followed by concentration under reduced pressure (3-10 mmHg) with saturated solution, and added by same volume of methanol to directly precipitate the barium salts of formula IV. Depending on the solubility of the final compounds of formula I, alkali salts of formula III or barium salts of formula IV are reacted with amineplatinum nitrate of formula V or amineplatinum sulfate of formula VI in aqueous solution to obtain pure platinum complexes of formula I. For example, if the final platinum complex is slightly soluble in water, the aqueous solution of alkali salt III is mixed with aqueous solution of amineplatinum nitrate V or aqueous solution of amineplatinum sulfate VI and then concentrated to obtain the platinum complex as precipitate while the nitrate or sulfate of alkali is dissolved in water. On the other hand, if the final product is soluble in water, barium salt IV and amineplatinum sulfate VI are reacted in an aqueous solution. As the insoluble barium sulfate is quantitatively precipitated, it can be simply removed. Then, the filtrate is just concentrated, or followed by addition of organic solvent such as acetone or alcohol to obtain platinum complex I in crystalline or powdery form due to its reduced solubility. 
     The aforementioned procedure for the preparation of the platinum complexes according to the present invention may be summarized as in the following reaction scheme. ##STR7## 
     The following examples are given by way of illustration and are not to be construed as limiting the invention in any way inasmuch as many variation of the invention are possible within the spirit of the invention.

After filtering the precipitate, the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure (3 mmHg) to 20 mL to obtain white crystalline powder. The resulted precipitate was filtered, and dried under reduced pressure (3 mmHg) at the room temperature (25° C.) to obtain 0.99 g (89.2% yield) of platinum complex, (NH 3 ) 2  Pt(OOC) 2  C═C(CH 3 ) 2  of the following properties:

     IN VIVO TEST AGAINST LEUKEMIA L1210 CELL LINE 
     The platinum complexes of the present invention were evaluated for antitumor activity against murine Leukemia L1210 cell line, according to the standard method of Goldin et al. (Europ. J. Cancer. 17, 129 (1981)). Each test group consisted of 8 BDF 1  mice of 6 to 8 weeks old. 10 6  cells of Leukemia L1210 were implanted by intraperitoneal injection to each mouce, and the platinum test compounds dissolved in 0.9% physiological saline solution were administered intraperitoneally on days 1, 5 and 9 at various doses in the range of 10-40 mg/Kg. Table 1 presents the result of the observation on Increased Life Span (%) and number of survived animals on day 60. From Table 1, it is clearly shown that the antitumor activity of the platinum complexes of the present invention is superior to that of cisplatin or carboplatin.
