More specifically, the present invention relates to a novel arylsulfonylimidazolone derivative represented by the following formula (I) which shows a superior antineoplastic activity in contrast to the known sulfonylurea antitumor agents as well as little side effect : its pharmaceutically acceptable salt or stereoisomer, in which = represents single or double bond, Ri represents hydrogen or methyl, R2 represents chloroacetyl; Ci-Csalkylaminoacetyl; allylaminoacetyl; d-C 4 alkoxycarbonyl; nicotinyl; furanoyl; thiophenoyl; benzoyl which can be substituted by halogen, nitro, cyano, amino which can be substituted by nonpolar amino acid residue, hydroxy, methyl or methoxy which can be independently of one another substituted by halogen, ethoxy or chloroacetylamino; or (wherein, X represents oxygen or sulfur atom, R 3 represents substituted by methoxy, fluoro, methyl, amino or methylthio). The present invention also relates to a process for preparing the compound of formula (I), a novel intermediate which can be used for preparing the desired compound of formula (I), and an antitumor composition that includes the compound of formula (I) as an active ingredient. BACKGROUND ART Many sulfonylureas that exhibit different kinds of activities from each other have been known in the art. Some of them have hypoglycemic activities, some of them have herbicidal activities, and some of them have antimycotic activities. In recent years, it has also been reported in several literatures that certain diarylsulfonylureas have antineoplastic activity (see, U.S. Patent. No. 4,845,128(1989); European Patent Publication No. 0222475 (published on May 20, 1987); European Patent Publication No. 0291269 (published on Nov. 17, 1988); European Patent Publication No. 0467613 (published on Jan. 22, 1992); Grindey, et al., American Association of Cancer Research, 27:277 (1986); Houghton, et al., Cancer Chemotherapy and Pharmacology, 25:84-88 (1989)). Sulofenur[N-(indan-5-sulfonyl)-N-(4-chloropheny l)urea; L Y 186641 ] represented by the following formula (II) is a typical example of the known antineoplastic diarylsulfonylurea compounds and it has progressed to Phase I clinical trials(see, Cancer Res., 49, 5217-5220, 1989) : Particularly, it has been reported that this compound exhibits potent antitumor activity upon solid tumors which is hard to cure(see, J. Med. Chem., 1990, 33, 2393). Although the mechanism of action of this compound has not known yet, it has an exceptionally broad spectrum of activity upon solid tumors and human tumor xenografts and also has some other clinical activities. Moreover, Sulofenur does not produce serious side effects including myelosuppression, nausea, vomiting, alopecia, mucositis, and hepatotoxicity which may be commonly encountered when other antineoplastic agents are used, but only shows minor side effects such as anemia or methemoglobinemia which are originated from aniline class of metabolite. DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION Those results aforementioned led the present inventors to investigate new arylsulfonylurea derivatives which have more improved antineoplastic activity against solid tumors than Sulofenur and do not produce the aniline class of metabolite which is causative of the side effects as mentioned above. And as a result, the present inventors have identified that the arylsulfonylimidazolone derivative of formula (I) as defined above can satisfies such purpose, and thus completed the present invention.

The most preferred compounds among those exemplified above are 4-pheny 1- 1 -(N-isopropylcarbamoylindoline-5-sulfonyl)-2-imidazolone and (S)- (+)-4-phenyl-l-[N-(4-aminobenzoyl)indoline-5-sulfonyl]-4,5-dihydro-2-imidazol- one. The compound of the present invention can have an asymmetric carbon atom in their structure, namely the 4-carbon atom of the imidazolone ring bearing the phenyl group. Said chiral center can be present in the configuration of (R) or (S), or a mixture of (R) and (S). Thus, the present invention also includes all those stereoisomers and their mixtures. Particularly, in the present invention, more preferred stereoisomeric configuration is (S). The compound of formula (I) according to the present invention can form a pharmaceutically acceptable salt. In the present specification, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" means "non-toxic acid addition salt" and such salt includes a salt with inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, sulfiiric acid, etc., a salt with organic acids such as acetic acid, oxalic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, methanesulfonic acid, citric acid, fumaric acid, succinic acid, tartaric acid, ascorbic acid, etc., and a salt with other acids which are generally known and conventionally used in the technical field of imidazoline-based compounds. These acid- addition salts can be prepared in situ during the final isolation and purification of the compound of formula (I), or can be prepared separately by reacting the free form compound with a corresponding acid according to a conventional conversion method. According to the present invention, the compound of formula (I) can be prepared by any method depicted in the following reaction schemes (a) to (c), which will be explained in detail. Reaction Scheme (a) In the reaction of the compound of formula (III) with the compound of formula (IV) according to the reaction scheme (a) above, any reaction-inert organic solvent may be used unless it adversely affects the reaction. Solvents suitable for this reaction include benzene, toluene, dichloromethane, tetrahydroftiran, chloroform, methanol and ethanol. Among those, dichloro- methane or tetrahydrofuran can be preferably used. This reaction may also be carried out in the presence of a base. As the base, pyridine, dimethylaminopyridine, triethyiamine or diethylamine, preferably pyridine can be used. Reaction temperature and time are not restricted specifically, and can be determined depending on the starting materials used. Generally, this reaction may be carried out at room temperature for 1 to 8 hours. Reaction Scheme (b) The reaction of the compound of formula (III) with the compound of formula (V) to prepare the compound of formula (la) wherein the nitrogen of the indoline ring is substituted by carbamoyl or thiocarbamoyl group, may be carried out in a solvent. As the solvent, benzene, toluene or dimethylformamide, preferably toluene can be used. Reaction temperature and time are not restricted specifically as in the reaction (a) above, however, this reaction can be generally carried out at 50 to 80 "Q for 5 to 18 hours. Reaction Scheme (c) In the first step of the reaction (c), the nitro group of the compound of formula (lb) which has an asymmetric centor in the imidazolone ring and thus has (S)-stereospecificity, is reduced to amino group to prepare the compound of formula (Ic). Reduction may be carried out under conventional reducing conditions, for example, under the presence of iron and methanol, Raney nickel and hydrogen gas, or sodiumborohydride and palladium. In the second step of the reaction (c), the condensation product obtained by reacting the compound of formula (Ic) with the subsitituted amino acid of formula (VI) is subsequently deprotected to produce the desired compound of formula (Id) having (S)-stereospecificity. As the compound of formula (VI), L-form amino acid which is the form generally occurred in human body is used. Conventional reaction conditions for removing protecting groups may be used for the deprotection reaction. For example, the deprotection can be carried out in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) and p-cresol. This second reaction step may be easily carried out by referring to the known method disclosed in J. Med. Chem., 1996, 39, 3114-3122. When the compound of formula (I) having (S)-stereoisomeric configuration is desired, (S)-stereoisomeric starting materials may be used. After the desired product is obtained according to the processes (a) to (c), it may be recovered and purified, if desired, by any methods known to those skilled in the art, such as filtration, chromatography or crystallization. While, the starting material of formula (III) used in reaction processes (a) and (b) is itself novel. Therefore, the present invention provides the compound (III) as an useful intermediate for preparing the compound (I). The compound of formula (III) can be obtained by anyone of processes (d) to (f), wherein d) a compound represented by the following formula (Vila) : is reacted with a compound represented by the following formula (VIII): to provide a compound represented by the following formula (IXa) then the trifluoroacetyl group as an amino-protecting group of the compound of fomula (IXa) is removed to prepare the compound represented by the following formula (Ilia) : in the above formulas, Ri is as previously defined; or compound represented by the following formula (Vϋb) : is reacted with a compound represented by the following formula (VIII): to provide a compound represented by the following formula (IXb) then the trifluoroacetyl group of the compound of fomula (IXb) is removed and the product thus obtained is acid-hydrolyzed to prepare the compound represented by the following formula (Illb) : in the above formulas, Ri is as previously defined; or S)-phenylglycinol represented by the following formula (X) is reacted with phenylchloroformate (ClCOOPh) to provide a compound represented by the following formula (XI) which is reacted with methanesulfonylchloride (CH3SO2CI) to produce a compound represented by the following formula (XII) : then the compound of formula (XII) thus obtained is combined with a compound represented by the following formula (XIII) : and deprotected to provide a compound represented by the following formula (IIIc) : in the above formulas, R] is as previously defined. The above methods (d) to (f) for preparing the compound (III) can be depicted as the following reaction schemes (d) to (0, respectively, which will be explained in detail. Reaction Scheme (d) In the first step of the reaction (d), the compounds of formula (Vila) and (VIII) are coupled to produce the compound (IXa). These starting compounds (Vila) and (VIII) can be synthesized by conventional methods known in the art (see, Drug Res., 42, pp592-594, 1992; Chimie Therapeutique, 6, pp659-668, 1973). This reaction may be carried out in an aprotic organic solvent and in the presence of a base. Solvents which can be suitably used for the reaction include dimethylformamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, acetonitrile, dimethylsulfoxide, benzene, tetrahydroftiran and the like. Dimethylformamide is the most preferable one. As the base, potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, sodium methoxide, patassium t-butoxide, sodium hydride, etc, preferably sodium hydride can be mentioned. Generally, the two reactants are used in an equimolar amount to each other although one can be used in an excessive amount with respect to the other, and the present reaction is carried out at 0°c to the boiling point of the reaction mixture, preferably at 20 to 30°c . The reaction is somewhat exothermic and usually completed within 5 to 6 hours. In the deprotection step, the trifluoroacetyl group is removed by suspending the compound of formula (IXa) in a solvent mixture of water and methanol and then reacting the suspension with potassium carbonate to produce the compound of formula (Ilia). However, the deprotection reaction can also be carried out according to conventional methods known in the art (see, J. Org. Chem., 53, 3108, 1988; J. Am. Chem. Soc, 95, 612, 1973). Reaction Scheme (e) In the first step, the starting compounds (Vllb) and (VIII) which can be obtained by conventional methods known in the art (see, J. Am. Chem. Soc, 107, pp2931-2943, 1992; Chimie Therapeutique, 6, pp659-668, 1973) are coupled to produce the compound (IXb). This reaction can be carried out in a water miscible inert solvent such as tetrahydroftiran or acetone in the presence of a base such as potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, lithium hydroxide or sodium bicarbonate, preferably sodium bicarbonate. Generally, the two reactants are used in an equimolar amount to each other or slight molar excess of compound (VIII) is used with respect to compound (Vllb) although other ratios are also operative. The present reaction is carried out at 0 to 80 °c, preferably at 20 to 30 °Q . At these preferable temperature, the reaction is usually completed within about 4 hours. The deprotection reaction can be performed according to the same manner as described in method (d). Then, the acid-hydrolysis is carried out according to conventional methods known in the art. Reaction Scheme (f) In the first reaction step, the commercially available (S)-2- phenylglycinol is dissolved in distilled water together with a base selected from a group consisting of sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate and potassium bicarbonate, and then to this reaction mixture is slowly added dropwise phenylchloroformate dissolved in a small amount of tetrahydroftiran. After the reaction is carried out at room temperature for one hour, the product is extracted with ethyl acetate to obtain the (S)-2-N-phenoxycarbonylamino-2-phenylethanol of formula (XI). The compound (XI) thus produced is dissolved in a solvent of chloroform, tetrahydrofuran or methylene chloride, cooled down to 0°c, and then reacted with methanesulfonylchloride in the presence of a base of pyridine or triethyiamine to obtain the (S)-2-N-phenoxycarbonylamino-2- phenylethyl methanesulfonate of formula (XII). Finally, the compound (XII) thus produced is reacted with the known N-trifluoroacetyl-5-aminosulfonyl-indoline of formula (XIII) to prepare the compound of formula (IIIc). The compound of formula (XIII) used as a reactant in this reaction can be prepared by an art-known procedure (see, Chimie Therapeutique, 6, 659-668, 1973). As the solvent suitable for the reaction of compounds (XII) with (XIII), an aprotic solvent such as, for example, benzene, chloroform, dimethylsulfoxide, dimethylformamide, tetrahydrofuran, methylethylketone, etc., preferably dimetylformamide can be mentioned. In some instances, the addition of a suitable base such as, for example, potassium carbonate, sodium methoxide, sodium carbonate, potassium t-butoxide, sodium hydride, etc., particularly sodium hydride may be appropriate. The same molar ratio of reactants, reaction temperature and time as the first step of reaction (d) may be applied for this reaction. In view of their potent antineoplastic activities, the desired compound of formula (I) according to the present invention may be formulated into pharmaceutical compositions for administration purposes. Said pharmaceutical compositions are deemed novel and consequently constitutes a further aspect of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention also relates to an antitumor composition comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and as an active ingredient a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula (I), as defined above. The pharmaceutical composition according to the present invention may be administered orally, rectally, parenterally (i.e., intravenously, intramuscularly or subcutaneously), intracisternally, intravaginally, intraperitoneally or locally for the treatment of susceptible neoplasms. Oral preparations of solid dosage form may include capsules, tablets, pills, powders or granules. In such a solid dosage form for oral administration, the active compound of formula (I) is admixed with at least one excipient such as fillers, binders, humectants, disintegrating agents, solution retarders, absorption accelerators, wetting agents, adsorbents or lubricants. Oral preparations of liquid dosage form may include pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups and elixirs. In addition to the active ingredient, the liquid dosage form may contain inert diluents commonly used in the art, such as water, other solvents, solubilizing agents, suspending agents or emulsifiers. The injectable preparation for parenteral administration may be in the form of water, water-polyethyleneglycol or water-propyleneglycol solution, of which isotonicity, pH, fluidity and the like can be adjusted to be suited for the physiological condition of living body. The injectable preparation may include sterile aqueous or nonaqueous solutions, dispersions, suspensions, emulsions and ready-to-use injectable preparation. Examples of suitable aqueous or nonaqueous carriers, diluents, solvents or vehicles include water, ethanol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, glycerol, suitable mixtures thereof, vegetable oils(such as corn oil or olive oil) and injectable organic esters such as ethyl oleate. Proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of a coating agent such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the specified particle size in the case of dispersions, and by the use of surfactants. It is especially advantageous to formulate the aforementioned pharmaceutical preparations in dosage unit form for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. Dosage unit forms of the preparation refer to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosage, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of the active component calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect. Such dosage unit form can be in the packaged form, for example, a tablet, a capsule or a powder filled in vial or ampule, or an ointment, gel or cream filled in tube or bottle. When the active compound of formula (I) of the present invention is applied as a medicine to a patent suffering from susceptible neoplasm, it is preferably administered in an amount of about 10 to about 5000^, preferably about 10 to about lOOOmg. However, the administration dosage can be varied with the requirement of the subject patient, severity of the neoplasm to be treated, the selected compound, the route of administration, the duration of treatment and the like. The preferred dosage suitable for a certain condition can be determined by a person skilled in this art according to a conventional manner. In general, the therapeutic treatment is started from the amount less than the optimal dosage of the active compound and then the administration dosage is increased little by little until the optimal therapeutic effect is obtained. As a matter of convenience, the total daily dosage can be divided into several portions and administered over several times, for example, once to six times per day. The present invention will be more specifically explained in the following examples.

The evaluation procedure and results were described in the following Experiments 1 to 4. Experiment 1 In vitro antitumor activity against human tumor cell lines In vitro antitumor activity of the compounds according to the present invention was determined by MTT assay method against the following human tumor cell lines : A549 (ATCC CCL 185) : human lung carcinoma K562 (ATCC CCL 243) : human chronic myelogenous leukemia SK-OV-3 (ATCC HTB 77) : human ovarian adenocarcinoma KB (ATCC CCL 17) : human epidermoid carcinoma Colo205 (ATCC CCL 222) : human colon adenocarcinoma In this test, the known antineoplastic compounds, Doxorubicin and Sulofenur, were used as the comparative agents. Each of the tumor cells was cultured in RPMI 1640 media containing 10% fetal bovine serum, 100 IU/ m £ penicillin and 100^g/ ^ streptomycin, and then periodically subcultured once or twice per week in trypsin-EDTA solution containing 0.05% trypsin and 0.53mM EDTA . 4Na. The human tumor cell line thus obtained was plated on 96-well microplate and then cultured for 24 hrs at 37°c in a 5% C0 2 incubator. Test compound was dissolved in DMSO, sterilized with 0.22^ PVDF filter, and then serially 5-fold diluted from 40^ g / m £ to 0.00256 jUg / m ^. 1 0 £ of the sample solution thus prepared and RPMI 1640 medium only (control group) were added to 96-well microplate containing the human tumor cell, respectively. The final concentration of the test compound was in the range from 20 g/ m £ to 0.00128^g m ^ and the concentration of DMSO was below 0.5%. The cells were cultured for 48 hrs at 37 " in a 5% CO 2 incubator. MTT(3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazole-2-yl)-e,5-diphenyltetrazoliumbro- mide) was dissolved in physiological saline in a concentration of 2mg/ m and the resulting solution was filtered through 0.22^ PTFE filter. 25^ of MTT solution thus prepared was added to each well of 96-well microplate and incubated for additional 4 hrs at 37 °c in a 5% C0 2 incubator. Then, the content of microplate was centrifuged at lOOOrpm for lOmin, and supernatant was removed by flicking. The formazan formed from MTT by mitochondrial succinate dehydrogenase was dissolved in 100^ of DMSO. The absorbance of each well was measured at 540nm by micro ELISA reader and the cytotoxicity was calculated by dividing the absorbance of test group by the absorbance of control group. After the calculated cytotoxicity (%) was plotted, the concentration of 50% tumor growth inhibition concentration (IC50) was estimated by Linear-Regression method. The test results are described in the following Tables 1 to 5. Table 1. Table 2. Table 3. Table 4. Table 5. Experiment 2 In vivo antitumor activity against P388 murine leukemia cell P388 murine leukemia cells were injected into BDFl mouse intraperitoneally and grown in the peritoneal cavity. The P388 cells were periodically exudated and reinjected intraperitoneally into mouse for subculture. 7 The cells were exudated, washed, resuspended in saline (2 χ l0 cells/m^), and then injected intraperitoneally again into BDFl mouse (2 χ 10 6 cells/0.1 m £). Test compound dissolved in appropriate vehicle was administered intraperitonealy or orally into the mouse which was implanted with P388 murine leukemia tumor cells in the frequency of once per 2 days for 10 days. The vehicle was administered into the mouse of control group. Then, the number of live animals were daily checked to estimate the median survival time (MST). T/C ratio(%) of each test compound was calculated according to the following formula, and the test results are shown in Table 6. T/C(%) = (MST of test group ÷ MST of control group) x 100 Table 6. Experiment 3 In vivo antitumor activity against Colon 26 murine colon cancer cell Colon 26 murine cancer cells were injected into Balb/C mouse intradermally and grown in mouse abdominal skin to a solid tumor. The Colon 26 tumors were periodically excised from the mouse, digested with an enzyme mixture containing collagenase and DNase, and then intradermally reinjected into mouse for subculture. The cells were washed, resuspended in saline (5xl0 6 cells/ m £) and 5 inoculated (5x10 cells/0.1 m ) intradermally to abdominal part of Balb/C mouse of which hair was removed in advance. Each test compound was dissolved in a solvent mixture of 60% propylene glycol(PG), 40% cremophor RH60(CP), and distilled water(DW) in the volume ratio of 30:20:50. When the size of tumor reached at appropriate level, the test compound was administered orally into the mouse which was implanted with colon 26 tumor cells in the frequency of once per 2 days for 10 days. The vehicle was also administered into the mouse of control group. The major and minor axis of tumor in each group were regularly measured by vernier calipers to estimate the increase of the tumor volume. Tumor volume was calculated on the basis of the following formula : Tumor volume (muf) = (1/2) x [length of major axis(πιm)] x [length of minor axisdm j ,)] 2 When the tumor volume of the control group reached at about 1500 mπf, the test animals were sacrificed by cervical dislocation and tumor was carefully excised and weighed. The inhibition rate of tumor growth (%) of each test compound was calculated as follows : The inhibition rate of tumor growth (%) = 100 χ [l -(Tumor weight of test group ÷ Tumor weight of control group)] The results are shown in the following Table 7. Table 7 Experiment 4 Acute toxicity test (LD50) Male Wistar Rat (Charles River Japan, ca, 6 weeks old) was used as test animal and sodium-carboxymethylcellulose (Na-CMC, Sigma Chemical, U.S.A.) was used as a vehicle control. Compounds 57 and 65 were suspended in 0.5% Na-CMC, respectively, before dosing. Test compounds were administered by gastric lavage with the dosage of 400, 550, 700, 850 and lOOOjπ /kg. Control group was treated only with 0.5% Na-CMC. Each group was consisted of 5 rats. LD50 value and 95% confidence intervals of each test compound were calculated according to probit method and the results thus obtained are described in the following Table 8 (95% confidence intervals are represented in the parenthesis). Table 8. As can be seen from the results of Table 8, the compound (I) according to the present invention has little acute toxicity against mammals including human being, therefore can be safely used as an antitumor agent.
