Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention: This invention relates to a novel compound having an antitumor activity and a process for preparing this compound. Description of the Background: Camptothecin is a penta-cyclic alkaloid isolated from barks, roots, fruits, or leaves of camptotheca acuminata. This compound is known to exhibit an antitumor activity because of its capability of inhibiting nucleic acid synthesis. According to the results of clinical tests conducted in the United States, however, the compound was found to have a problem in view of safety, and its research and development as a medicine have been discontinued. Thereafter, research on derivatives of camptothecin possessing better activity and reduced toxicity has been undertaken worldwide. However, no report has surfaced so far on the derivative with satisfactory clinical results. JP-A-2-138186 discloses a Camptothecin derivative having an amino group in 9-position instead of a hydroxyl group, but the derivative exhibited poor solubility in water. The scarce solubility of camptothecin in water is another problem of this compound in administering it as a medicine. A method of opening the lactone ring and converting it into the sodium carbonate is known as one of the means for making camptothecin water-soluble. The product obtained by this method, however, exhibits a very reduced antitumor activity. The development of a water-soluble camptothecin derivative with the lactone ring being retained as is has therefore been desired. The present inventors have conducted extensive studies for the purpose of obtaining camptothecin derivatives with more excellent activity and higher safety, as well as excellent characteristics required for a drug to be administered, and found that hexa-cyclic compounds obtained by the addition of a water-soluble ring to camptothecin had characteristics superior to camptothecin. This finding has led to the completion of this invention. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of this invention is to provide a hexa-cyclic compound represented by the following general formula: wherein R₁ and R₂ individually represent a hydrogen atom, a hydroxyl group, a C₁₋₆ alkyl group ("C₁₋₆ alkyl group means an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms.

A quaternary trialkyl ammonium such as -N⁺(CH₃)₃ is also priferred as R₄. Methylene group, oxygen atom, sulfur atom, imino(-NH-), alkylimino(-N(alkyl)-), and the like are given as preferable groups represented by Z. As preferred protective groups for amino group, given are formyl, acetyl, trithyl, tert-butoxycarbonyl, benzyl, p-methoxybenzyloxycarbonyl. Given as preferred examples for heterocyclic groups are 4-7 membered rings having one or more nitrogen atoms which may contain one or more oxygen atoms or sulfur atoms, such as azetidine, piperazine, morpholine, pyrrolidine, piperidine, imiazole, thiazole, oxazole, pyridine, and the like. Among them, those having 5 or 6 membered rings such as pyrrolidine, piperidine, piperazine, morpholine are especially preferred. Among the compounds of formula (I), those having a six-membered ring for the A-ring, which are represented by the following formula (IA) is particularly preferable. Furthermore, among the compounds of formula (I), those in which the asymmetric carbon at 9 position of the F-ring takes the S-type configuration are preferable from the aspect of medicinal activity. The compounds of the present invention can be prepared according to the process exemplified by the following reaction scheme. According to the above process scheme, an aminoketone compound (2) and a pyranoindolizine compound (3) are condensed by the Friedlaender reaction to produce the compound (I). Aminoketone compounds (2) are known compounds and can be readily prepared according to the methods known in the art. The conditions of this condensation ring-closing reaction of compounds (2) and (3) can be suitably selected from the conditions, wherein the reaction is conducted at room temperature or an elevated temperature in the presence of an acid or a base. There is no specific limitation to the kind of the solvent used, so long as the solvent is inert to the reaction. Examples of such solvents include aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, xylene, halogenated hydrocarbons such as dichloromethane, chloroform, 1,2-dichloroethane, and the like, ethers such as diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, dimethyl cellosolve, diethyl cellosolve, diglyme, and the like, lower alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, tert-butanol, and the like, amides such as acetamide, dimethylacetamide, N,N-dimethylformamide, and acetic acid. Particularly preferable solvents are benzene, toluene, and acetic acid. Either an organic acid or inorganic acid can be used for the reaction. Hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid are typical examples given of inorganic acids. Organic acids which can be used include sulfonic acids such as methanesulfonic acid, trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, pyridine-p-toluene sulfonate; carboxylic acids such as acetic acid. Among these especially preferable are p-toluenesulfonic acid, pyridine-p-toluene sulfonate, acetic acid. Here, acetic acid can function also as a solvent. A base to be employed in the reaction may be either an inorganic or organic base. Given as examples of inorganic bases are hydroxides, carbonates, bicarbonates, and hydrides of alkali metal such as lithium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, lithium carbonate, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, sodium hydride, and the like. Organic bases include alkoxide of alkali metal such as sodium methoxide, sodium ethoxide, potassium tert-butoxide, and the like; tert-alkyl amines such as triethylamine, N,N-diisopropylethylamine; aromatic tertiary amines such as N,N-dimethylaniline, N,N-diethylaniline, N,N-dimethylaminopyridine; pyridine; 1,8-diazabicycloundecene. Preferred bases are potassium carbonate and triethylamine. Some compounds of formula (3) are unstable against basic compounds. Deliberate considerations therefore must be given to the reaction conditions when a base is used. For example, measures must be taken such as carrying out the reaction at a relatively low temperature, for a shorter period of time, or under acidic conditions. The reaction is carried out at a temperature usually of 20-150°C, and preferably 80-120°C. Depending on the characteristics of compound (3), however, the reaction under ice-cooling is desirable. The reaction time may be between 1 hour and 48 hours. Usually, the reaction is completed within 1-24 hours. A typical example of performing the reaction is refluxing the reaction mixture in benzene, toluene, or acetic acid in the presence of pyridine p-toluenesulfonate. When a group R₁, R₂, or R₄, or their substituent is an amino group with a protective group, such a protective group can be removed by the reduction or hydrolysis with an acid or alkali. A compounds having an alkoxyl group can be converted into the corresponding hydroxyl compounds by treating them with aluminum chloride or aluminum bromide in an inert solvent such as toluene, benzene, or by heating in a solution of hydrobromic acid. A compound having a nitro group can be converted into the corresponding amino compound by catalytic reduction using platinum, palladium. A compound having an amino group can be converted into the corresponding hydroxyl compound via a diazonium compound by the treatment with sodium nitrite in an acidic solvent at a low temperature, followed by hydrolysis of the diazonium salt. A compound having an amino group can also be converted into the corresponding halogeno compound by the Sandmeyer reaction via diazonium salt mentioned above. General Sandmeyer reaction conditions can be applicable to this reaction using cuprous chloride, cuprous bromide. The compound of this invention can optionally be converted into a form of physiologically acceptable salt, e.g., a salt of an alkali metal or alkali earth metal, by using a hydroxide of these metals; or when such a compound is a basic compound such as that possessing an amino group or the like, may be converted into an inorganic or organic salt using an inorganic acid such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, or the like, or an organic acid such as formic acid, acetic acid, methanesulfonic acid. Antitumor effects of the compound of this invention thus prepared are hereinafter described by way of experimental examples. Experimental Example 1 P388 murine leukemia cells were spread over a 96-well microplate, 2.5x10³ cells per well. A sample to be tested was added after 24 hours.
