Abstract: Disclosed is cis-oxalato(trans-l-1,2-cyclohexanediamine) Pt(II) complex having high optical purity and no toxicity and exhibiting anticancer performance, as shown in the below Formula. Cis-oxalato(trans-l-1,2-cyclohexanediamine) Pt(II) complex of the invention possesses high optical purity of 99.94 % or more e.e. and a melting point of 198.3 to 199.7 °C. The complex is synthesized employing as starting material trans-l-1,2-cyclohexamediamine or a derivative of the trans-l-1,2-cyclohexanediamine optically resoluted by means of a high performance liquid chromatography.

Description: Background of the Invention The present invention relates to cis-oxalato(trans-1-1,2-cyclohexanediamine) Pt(II) complex having high optical purity which may be employed as starting material of carcinostatic substance and a process of preparing same. US 4, 169, 846 relates to the preparation of Cis-Pt (II) complexes of 1,2- diaminocyclohexane (DAC), starting from optically purified DAC obtained from the precipitation of DAC-Nickel complexes. Trans-1-1,2-cyclohexanediamine can be obtained by reacting trans-dl-1,2-cyclohexanediamine with tartaric acid to form diastereomers and optically resolving the respective diastereomers by means of a recrystallization method utilizing the difference of solubilities of the respective diastereomers. However, this method possesses a limitation because the solubility difference is not large so that it is reported that optical purity of 99.5 % or more cannot be industrially attained. Accordingly, in order to obtain a platinum complex represented by Formula 1 having high optical purity, after the resolution of cis-trans stereoisomers of 1,2--cyclohexanediamine which is starting material for the preparation of the platinum complex in accordance with a resolution refining process (Japanese patent publication No.61-4827), the optical resolution of the trans isomer is conducted by, in accordance with a normal process, forming a diastereomer by means of tartaric acid followed by its recrystallization. A platinum complex prepared by employing this resolved isomer is further optically resolved by means of high performance liquid chromatography (hereinafter referred to as "HPLC method") to produce the platinum complex (Formula 1) having the high optical purity (US 5 338 874 and EP0 567 438). The optical resolution of the final product is conventionally required because the resolution and refining of the trans-1-1,2-cyclohexanediamine is insufficient. Since the trans-1-1,2-cyclohexanadiamine is the important starting material of cis-oxalato(trans-1-1,2-cyclohexanadiamine) Pt(II) complex which is the starting material of a carcinostatic agent, the trans-1-1,2-cyclohexanediamine having stably higher optical purity has been required. The platinum complex (Formula 1) has been synthesized in accordance with a preparation process shown as the below equation (Formula 2). Many optically active pharmaceuticals may have a considerable difference in carcinostatic activities and their side effects due to their isomerism so that their optical purity is important when they are utilized as the pharmaceuticals. Summary of the Invention In these viewpoints, an object of the present invention is to provide a preparation process of of cis-oxalato(trans-1-1,2-cyclohexanediamine) Pt(II) complex having an optical purity of 99.94 % or more through complete optical resolution. The cis-oxalato(trans-1-1,2-cyclohexanediamine) Pt(II) complex having the high optical purity represented by Formula 1 can be obtained in accordance with one of the following processes of the invention. Commercially available 1,2-cyclohexanediamine (for example, trans-1-1,2-cyclohexanediamine made by Aldrich, cis,trans-dl-mixed-1,2-cyclohexanediamine made by Tokyo Kasei K.K., and trans-1-1,2-cyclohexanediamine made by Wako Junyaku K.K.) is employed. After the cyclohexanediamine made by Tokyo Kasei is resolved into its cis and trans-stereoisomers in accordance with the above resolution refining process, trans-1-1,2-cyclohexanediamine having the high optical purity can be obtained employing the trans-isomer through one of the below three processes of optical resolution. 1 ○ The trans-1-1,2-cyclohexanediamnie is reacted with L-(+)-tartaric acid to form a diastereomer. A filler prepared by, for example, chemically bonding (1R, 2S)-2-carboxymethylamino-1,2-diphenylethanol to silica gel to which a metal ion (Cu 2+ ) is coordinated is packed in a column having, for example, an inner diameter of 4.6 mm and a height of 25 cm which is then employed as a resolution column. The resolution may be carried out by employing the column through which the diastereomer passes in accordance with the HPLC method. The mobile phase may be water and the detection may be performed by employing a polarimeter detecting 589 nm as a detector. An alkaline solution is added to the aqueous solution eluted to obtain the trans-1-1,2-cyclohexanediamnie completely resoluted. 2 ○ The trans-1-1,2-cyclohexanediamnie is reacted with a benzoyl derivative, preferably orthophthalaldehyde, to form a diastereomer. As a resolution column, ULTRON ES-OVM having an inner diameter of 4.6 mm and a height of 15 cm made by Shinwa Kako K.K. is, for example, employed. The resolution may be carried out by employing the column through which the diastereomer passes in accordance with the HPLC method. The mobile phase may be 20 nM of potassium dihydrogen phosphate (pH 5.6) and ethanol in a volume ratio of 100:7, and the detection may be performed by employing ultraviolet ray at 220 nm. Then, 1-N hydrochloric acid is added to the aqueous solution eluted to obtain the trans-1-1,2-cyclohexanediamnie completely resoluted. 3 ○ The trans-1-1,2-cyclohexanediamnie is dissolved in water. A filler prepared by, for example, chemically bonding L-proline to silica gel to which a metal ion (Cu 2+ ) is coordinated is packed in a column which is then employed as a resolution column. The resolution may be carried out by employing the column through which the diastereomer passes in accordance with the HPLC method. The mobile phase may be water and the detection may be performed by employing a polarimeter detecting 589 nm as detector. The water is removed from the aqueous solution eluted to obtain the trans-1-1.2-cyclohexanediamnie completely resoluted. All the cis-oxalato(trans-1-1,2-cyclohexanediamine) Pt(II) represented as Formula 1 obtained by employing the trans-1-1,2-cyclohexanediamine having the high optical purity obtained in the above respective procedures 1 ○ , 2 ○ and possesses high optical purity so that the optical resolution thereafter described in U.S. patent application No.08/043,901 or European patent application No.93830160.3 can be omitted. The preparation process of the cis-oxalato(trans-1-1,2-cyclohexanediamine) Pt(II) described therein is as follows. Trans-1-1,2-cyclohexanediamine and equimolar potassium tetrachloroplatinate [K 2 PtCl 4 ] are dissolved in water and reacted for over 10 hours at room temperature to produce the crystal of the cis-dichloro(trans-1-1,2-cyclohexanediamine) Pt(II) represented as Formula 3. Then, water is added to the compound of Formula 3 for suspending to which is added a silver nitrate (2 mols) aqueous solution. The both are allowed to react in dark for over 24 hours and silver nitrate is removed by filtration to obtain an aqueous solution of cis-diaquo(trans-1-1,2-cyclohexanediamine) Pt(II) nitrate. After potassium iodide is added to this aqueous solution for removing the excess silver ion as silver iodide by mean of filtration and the aqueous solution is refined and decolorized with active carbon, equimolar oxalic acid in respect of the potassium tetrachloroplatinate is added to the aqueous solution to obtain the crude crystal of cis-oxalato(trans-1-1,2-cyclohexanediamine) Pt(II) after a two hour reaction. By recrystallizing this crude crystal from hot water, the cis-oxalato(trans-1-1,2-cyclohexanediamine) Pt(II) having high purity can be obtained. The preparation process of this invention is as follows. According to the present invention, cis-oxalato(trans-1-1,2-cyclohexanediamine) Pt(II) having high optical purity represented by Formula 1 is provided. Since this isomer contains no cis-oxalato(trans-d-1,2-cyclohexanediamine) Pt(II) which is an optical isomer, the former exhibits remarkably excellent results in connection with acute toxicity compared with that of the prior art and effective for providing pharmaceuticals having safety.
