Description: Platinum complex, its preparation and therapeutic application Field of the invention The invention relates to a new platinum complex which is useful in medicinal practice for a therapy of oncological diseases. The invention further discloses a process for the preparation of the said complex, use of the complex as a pharmaceutical and pharmaceutical compositions containing that platinum complex as the active substance. Background of the invention Platinum complexes effective as cytostatic agents were introduced into medicinal practice by the end of seventieths of this century. The first pharmaceutical product based on platinum complexes was cisplatin (cis-diammine-dichloroplatinum (II) ). During further development of said complexes, tens of platinum complexes were synthetised and tested; among them, carboplatin became to be a substance which attained the biggest importance in oncology. Both the cited compounds, however, have to be administered only parenterally and neither of them is suitable for oral administration. As far as oral administration is concerned, some complexes of tetravalent platinum as disclosed in EP 328 274 and 423707 were shown as suitable. These complexes of tetravalent platinum contain, apart from four halogen or carboxylate ligands, two basic assymetric groups, one of them being ammin and the second being a substituted alkyl- or cycloalkylamine. At present, platinum complexes which would express higher antitumor efficiacy in comparison with known platinum complexes are still being searched . Now, within the present invention, certain new platinum complexes which possess higher antitumor efFiciacy in comparison with platinum complexes of the prior art were found. These new complexes represent the background of the present invention . Summary of the invention According to a first aspect of the invention, there is provided a platinum complex of the general formula (I) B wherein X represents a halogen atom, B represent, independently of each other, a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group or a carboxylate group containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and A represents a primary tricyclic amine containing 10 to 14 carbon atoms, which may be optionally substituted on the tricyclic ring by one or two alkyl group(s) each containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and, furthermore, an inclusion complex of the above platinum complex with beta- or gamma-cyclodextrin which may be optionally substituted by hydroxyalkyl groups containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms. Especially advantageous platinum complexes of the present invention are complexes of formula (I) wherein A represents an adamantylamino group and X and B have the above defined meaning, and, furthermore, their inclusion complexes with beta- or gamma cyclodextrin which may be optionally substituted as disclosed hereinabove. Another advantageous platinum complexes of the present invention are complexes of formula (I) wherein A represents a 3,5-dimethyladamantylamino group and X and B have the above defined meaning, and, furthermore, their inclusion complexes with beta- or gamma-cyclodextrin which may be optionally substituted as disclosed hereinabove. In another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a process for the preparation of the platinum complex of formula (I) which is characterised in that a complex of divalent platinum of formula (II) wherein X and A have the above defined meaning , is oxidized at platinum atom by hydrogen peroxide under formation of a platinum(IV)dihydroxo-complex and, optionally, the hydroxy groups of the said complex are substituted by carboxylate groups by action of an acylating agent. The invention also provides a process for the preparation of an inclusion complex of the platinum complex of formula (I) with beta- or gammacyclodextrin which may be optionally substituted by a hydroxyalkyl group containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms, said process being characterized in mixing a solution of the platinum complex of formula (I) in an organic solvent with an aqueous solution of beta- or gammacyclodextrin which is optionally substituted by hydroxyalkyl groups containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and, in the following step, the solvents are evaporated from the obtained solution. Still another aspect of the invention is the platinum complex of formula (I) above or its inclusion complex with beta-or gammacyclodextrin for use as a pharmaceutical. The last aspect of the invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for therapy of oncological diseases, characterised in that it contains, as the active substance, at least one platinum complex of above formula (I) or its inclusion complex with beta-or gamma cyclodextrin which may be optionally substituted as defined above, and at least one pharmaceutical excipient. The platinum complexes of the present invention are novel chemical compounds as until now neither these compounds have been specifically disclosed in any document of the prior art nor their properties have been characterised herein nor a method of their production has been disclosed. The utility of these compounds as active substances in the therapy of oncological diseases is likewise new and inventive as it was not possible to deduce from the known prior art by an obvious way that the presence of primary tricyclic amine ligand in tetravalent platinum complexes would lead to a basic increase of antitumor activity of the new compounds of the present invention. Main advantages of the platinum complexes of the present invention in comparison with the so far known platinum complexes and namely in comparison with platinum complexes disclosed in the patents EP 328274 and EP 423707 are based not only on their higher efficiacy at oral administration and low toxicity but namely on broader spectrum of their antitumor activity. In further part, the invention will be described in more detail by the means of examples of concrete arrangement . It must be understood that these examples are for illustrative purposes and that they by no means limit the scope of the invention which is rather defined by the patent claims. Detailed description of the invention Example 1 Synthesis of af-bis (acetato)-b-(l-adamantylamineVc-ammin-de-dichloroplatinum (IV) complex ( hereinafter will be called as „LA-12" ) Stir 6.25 g (13.3 mmol) of b-(l-adamantylamine)-c-amrnin-de-dichloro-af- dihydroxoplatinum(IV) complex at room temperature with an excess of acetic anhydride ( 50.2 ml, 532 mmol). During the time, a solid continuously precipitates from the original solution. After termination of the precipitation, filter the solid and wash it with a small amount of acetic anhydride and ether.

Add hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (164g/l ) to the obtained solution. Add slowly a buffered aqueous phase of lOOmM Hepes of pH 7.3 under stirring at room temperature to that mixture until final volume ratio of acetone and aqueous phase is 1 : 10. The undissolved cyclodextrin dissolves rapidly even after first additions of the aqueous phase ( up to 10%> of the total volume of the aqueous phase). Finally, remove acetone and water from the solution of the inclusion complex by lyophilisation. Screening of antineoplastic activity of the compounds of the present invention has been performed by testing these compounds at experiments in vivo, on animals with experimental tumors such as mice leucaemia L1210 in ascitic form (IP-L1210) or in solid form ( SC-L1210) grown on DBA2 mice, Gardner lymphosarcoma in solid and ascitic form (LsG) grown on C3H mice, Ehrlich tumor in solid (STE) and ascitic form (ATE) grown on NMRI mice, tumor MC21 1 1 (transplantable mammal adenocarcinomma) grown on DBA1 mice, metastasing melanocarcinoma B16 in solid and ascitic form (SC-B16, IP-B16) grown on C57B 16 mice and Lewis metastasing lung carcinoma (LL) grown on C57B16 mice, namely by a method of V.Jelinek (Neoplasma 12,469(1965), ibid. 7,146(1960)). The survival time was evaluated and the optimum dosage was calculated , apart from point estimations evaluated by Student's t-test, by proportional risk model of Cox and by the procedure of Carter (Carter W.H. et al.: Cancer Res. 42,2963 (1982) ). Curves of activity drawn according to this calculation procedure allow to calculate the optimum dosage and to estimate toxic dosages. This procedure allows to evaluate not only the effect at a monotherapy but also the overall toxicity and influences of components of a combined therapy. Therefore, dependences between dose and activity were modelled and evaluated in some examples also by this method . For purposes of this invention, the term „therapy" means an inhibition of characteristics signs and symptoms of a disease on biological objects carrying a tumor, namely an inhibition of a tumor growth and inhibition of survival time decrease of a biological object. The growth of a tumor may be observed both clinically and at experiments in vivo, i.e. on experimental animals. The evaluation of the growth of a tumor may be performed by weighing of the tumor tissue or measuring of the tumor size. Such favourable therapeutical effect of compounds of the present invention at mice females of C3H strain was proven by decrease of the tumor weight at animals with solid form of Gardner lymphosarcoma (SC-LsG), with STE, SC-B16, SC-LL and MC- 2111, namely at oral administration of compounds of this group of chemicals. Statistically significant (p < 0.05) or even highly significant (p≤O.Ol) decrease of average mass of tumors was demonstrated in comparison with the control, i.e. untreated group. Likewise, the compounds of the present invention prolong the survival time of suitable biological objects, e.g. of mice with LP-L1210, MC211, SC-L1210, LP-LsG and ATE tumors, marginally also of those with IP-B16 and IP-LsG, namely at oral administration. As the nature of the above used test systems is lethal, the antitumor effect of the compounds of the invention may be documented by comparison of survival time of treated animals (which survive longer) with untreated control animals. In typical experiments (see Examples), one experimental group usually consisted from ten animals and the treated groups have survived statistically significantly longer than the control , i.e. untreated groups. For to use their antitumor effects, the disclosed compounds may be administered to suitable biological objects, namely mammals, in suitable application form and by conventional ways of administration. They may be administered alone or, advantageously, as the active substances together with whatever suitable and nontoxic pharmaceutical carrier, dissolved or suspended, e.g. in water, a buffer, a physiological saline, in a solution of methylcellulose, polyethyleneglycol, polypropyleneglycol etc. Oral administration is the most advantageous one. The optimum dose is dependent on the type of the tumor which should be treated, on the type of the biological object to be treated , on its weigth and/or body surface, on the localisation of the tumor, on its morphological type, on the dosage regimen etc. It is apparent from the performed biological tests that, e.g., the effective single dose of orally administered LA-12 is only 10 mg/kg (30 mg/m 2 ) for IP-L1210, whereby LA-2 (see below) exhibits no effect at this dose. At intermitent administration (1st, 4th and 9th day) of a typical dose of LA-12 , the optimum dose for DBA2 mice with leucaemia L1210 is 22.9mg/kg p.o. x 3 (68.7 mg/m 2 x 3) and at continual administration (lst-9th day) the optimum dose for the same mice is 9.6 mg/kg p.o. x 9 ( 28.8 mg/m 2 x 9 ). The toxicity of compounds of the invention is low; the LD50 value at NMRI mice can be found above 600 mg/kg p.o. It is apparent that useful therapeutic effects can be expected at dosages which are absolutely nontoxic for organisms of mammals. According to the biological tests performed, the tolerable and effective single oral dose for a human can be expected on a level of 30 mg/m 2 . In the following tests which will demonstrate the antitumor effect of compounds of the present invention the following prior art compounds were used for reference: af- bis(acetato)-b-ammin-cd-dichloro-e-(cyclohexylamine)platinum (IV) complex (JM216, Johnson Matthey Technology Centre, Reafing, Berkshire, Great Britain, Kelland et al., 1993) which is hereinbelow called as compound LA-2, and cis-diammin- dichloroplatinum(II) complex which is the active substance of a medicinal preparation Platidiam 10 .

One hundred and fifty mouse females of DBA2 strain of approximate weigth of 18 g were sorted into fourteen groups: one reference group (21 animals) and thirteen experimental groups (9-10 animals). All animals were inoculated intraperitoneally with a lethal dose of ascitic liquid from L1210 leucaemia. Ten of the experimental groups were treated with compounds LA-12 and LA-2 in water suspensions prepared ad hoc immediately before the application. The suspensions contained such amounts of the respective compound so that the experimental animals obtained one day after the inoculation of the tumor the dosages of 160,80,40,20 and 10 mg/kg resp., in volumes of 0.2-0.4 ml. PLATIDIAM was applied to three groups subcutaneously, in a form of an isotonic aqueous solution prepared by dissolution of the lyophilised powder in water for injections immediately before the application. The animals were monitored to determine their survival time. The dependence of the survival time value on the applied dose was evaluated in comparison with the reference group. The single estimated time points as biological responses were evaluated by a test of equivalence of two mean values (Student's t-test) under presumption of logarithmic/normal character of distribution of temporal values and under presumption of possible unknown disseminations (Roth at al., 1962). Geometric mean value was calculated from single values of the survival time. Those mean values of the test criterium the difference of which exceeded the critical value at significance level of 5%> were evaluated as statistically significant. It has been observed that animals treated with LA-12 had statistically significant (t- test, p<0.05) higher mean value of survival time in the dosage group of lOmg/kg p.o., namely by 55%> in comparison with the untreated control group. Platidiam, at a dose of 5mg/kg s.c, increased the mean value of survival time by 32%> against the control, this difference in values however has not been statistically significant in comparison with the control group. No effect has been proven at LA-2. The results are summarized in the following table : Tab l .

In a similar experiment on animals with leucaemia LI 210, the compound (I) (A = adamantylamine, LA-12) was administered repeatedly in three daily doses, namely at 1st, 4th and 9th day after innoculation together with LA-2 p.o. and Platidiam s.c. in the same regimen. It has been observed that animals treated with LA-12 had statistically significant (t- test, p<0.05) higher average value of survival time in the dosage group of 4mg/kg/day p.o.x 3 (148%)) in comparison with the untreated control group. The compound LA-2 exhibited the same effect (148%) only at twofold dose, i.e. in a dose of 8 mg/kg/day p.o. x 3. Optimum dose of LA-12 as calculated according to Carter was only 4.55 mg/kg/day p.o. x 3 , while that of LA-2 was 10.96 mg/kg/day p.o. x 3 , i.e. more than twofold. A characteristic compound of the present invention is thus more than twice as effective as a typical compound of the above cited patents in its optimum therapeutical regimen. The results are summarized in the following table : Tab 2.

In an experiment on animals with leucaemia L1210 which was arranged analogically as in Examples 4 and 5, the compound (I) (A = adamantylamine, LA-12) was administered repeatedly both in nine daily doses, namely at 1st- 9th day after innoculation, and also intermitently at 1st, 4th and 9th day together with LA-2 p.o. in such a way that cumulative doses were identical in both regimens. Platidiam was administered subcutaneously . The compound LA-12 increased statistically significantly the survival time value in comparison with the control group in the dosage of 6mg/kg/ p.o.x 9, namely by 130% and it has been evaluated as antitumor effective similarly as Platidiam in dosages 8 and 4 mg/kg s.c. x 1. The compound LA-2 didnot increase statistically significantly the survival time in comparison with the control group in any of the dosage groups and is thus evaluated as antitumor uneffective. In the intermitent regimen (1st, 5th and 9th day after inoculation) no effect was proven by means of point estimations. The evaluation of the dose/effect dependence of LA-12 shows that continual therapeutical regimen is more advantageous at the same cummulative dose.

Two hundred mice females of C3H strain weighing of about 25 g were sorted into ten groups, namely one control and nine experimental ones, each containing 20 animals. Lethal dose of a tumor homogenate from Gardner lymphosarcoma was transplantated subcutaneously to all animals. Experimental groups were treated with compounds LA- 12 and LA-2 in water suspension prepared ad hoc immediately before the application. The suspensions contained such amounts of the respective compound so that the experimental animals obtained the fifth day after the inoculation of the tumor the dosages of 32,8 and 2 mg/kg resp., in volumes of 0.2-0.4 ml; PLATIDIAM was applied once in a dose of 8, 4 and 2 mg/kg s.c. Half of the animals in each dosage group was destroyed the 14th day after inoculation in ether narcosis and tumors were surgically isolated from bodies. The mass of a tumor at each of the animals was determined by weighing. The second halves of animals were left for monitoring the survival time. It has been observed that animals treated with LA-12 had statistically significant (t- test, p <0.05) lower average mass of a tumor (77%>) at a dose of 32 mg/kg p.o. in comparison with the control group (100%>).

One hundred and thirty mice females of DBA1 strain weighing of about 20 g were sorted into twelve groups, namely one control and eleven experimental ones, each containing 10 animals. Lethal dose of tumor homogenate was inoculated subcutaneously to all animals. Experimental groups were treated with compounds LA- 2, LA-12 and LA- 15 in water suspension prepared ad hoc immediately before the application. The suspensions contained such amounts of the respective compounds so that the experimental animals obtained the dosages of 12, 6 and 3 mg/kg/day p.o x 9 resp., in volumes of 0.2-0.4 ml; PLATIDIAM was applied once in a dose of 8 and 4 mg/kg s.c. in volume of 0.2 and 0.4 ml, the fifth day after inoculation. The animals from the control group and from each dosage group were weighed and sizes of tumors were measured at 14th day after inoculation . One half of animals from the control group was destroyed in ether narcosis and tumors were surgically isolated from bodies. A dependence of a mass of a tumor on its size was evaluated by regression analysis. The mass of a tumυi ai each of the animals was determined from this regression function. The tumor masses were evaluated in case of point estimations by a test of equivalence of two mean values (Student's t-test) under presumption of normal character of distribution of mass values and under presumption of possible unknown disseminations. Arithmetic mean value was calculated from the single values of the tumor mass. Those differences in mean values at which the value of test criterium exceeded the critical value at 5%> significance level were evaluated as statistically significant. The dependence of survival time on the applied dose has been evaluated in comparison with the untreated control. The time has been evaluated analogically as at leucaemias and ascitic tumors, namely in case of estimated time points by a test of equivalence of two mean values (Student's t-test) under presumption of logarithmic/normal character of distribution of temporal values and under presumption of possible unknown disseminations (Roth Z., Josifko M., Maly V.,Trcka V.: Statisticke metody v experimentalni medicine, SZN Prague 1962, p. 278). Geometric mean value was calculated from single values of the survival time. Those mean values of the test criterium the difference of which exceeded the critical value at the 5%> significance level were evaluated as statistically significant. It has been observed that animals treated with LA-12 had statistically significant (t- test, p <0.05) lower average mass of a tumor (86 %>) at a dose of 3mg/kg/day p.o. x 9. Furthermore, they had statistically significant (t-test, p <0.05) higher mean value of survival time (128%) in comparison with the untreated control group (100%>). Other tested substances (except of Platidiam) had no statistically significant difference in point estimations of survival time in comparison with the control group. The compound LA-12, as well as Platidiam, was evaluated as antitumor effective. No effect was observed at LA-2 of the prior art. The results are summarized in the following table : Tab 6-1.

In an experiment with animals with ATE which was arranged analogically as in Example 10, the compound LA-12, its inclusion drug form and compound LA-15 were administered repeatedly in nine daily doses, namely at the lst-9th day after innoculation, together with LA-2 p.o. in the same regimen. Platidiam was administered subcutaneously . After termination of application, one half of animals in each dosage group was destroyed at 10th day after inoculation in ether narcosis, the ascits were sucked out after laparotomy and the mass of a tumor at each of the animals was determined from the difference of mass before and after sucking out the ascit. Ascitocrit in ascitic liquor of single animals was determined on microhematocrit centrifuge in heparinized capillary tubes of 75 mm length. The value of „total ascitocrit" corresponding to a mass of cells in ascitic liquor has been determined from percentage of ascitocrit and mass of the tumor. Remaining animals were left for monitoring the survival time. In these animals, the survival time was monitored on daily basis. The dependence of the survival time value on the applied dose was evaluated in comparison with the reference group. The single estimated time points as biological responses were evaluated by a test of equivalence of two mean values (Student ' s t-test). Geometric mean was calculated from single values of survival time, arithmetic means were calculated from single values of tumor mass and total ascitocrit. Difference between mean values was evaluated by a test of equivalence of two mean values (Student ' s t-test) under presumption of normal probability distribution of mass values as well as of total ascitocrit values and of logarithmic/normal distribution of temporal values, all under presumption of possible unknown disseminations. Those diferences in mean values, whose values of a test criterium exceeded the critical value at the 5%> and 1% significance level were evaluated as statistically significant and highly statistically significant, respectively. The optimum dosage has been calculated from values of survival time according to the proportional risk model of Cox (Carter et al., 1982). Parameters of Weinbull distribution and logarithmic transformation of introductory data were used for estimation of a basic and modified survival function from experimental data. The inclusion drug form of LA-12 has increased the survival time in comparison with control group in statistically significant way and has been evaluated as antitumor effective similarly as Platidiam in dosages 8 and 4 mg/kg s.c. x 1. The compounds LA- 2, LA-12 and LA-15 didnot increase the survival time statistically significant in comparison with the control group (Tab. 8.1). It has been observed that the treated animals exhibited lower average value of tumor mass in comparison with the untreated control group (Tab. 8-2) but that difference is not statistically significant. Mean value of the mass of cell fraction of the tumor (total ascitocrit) has been statistically significant lower only in case of the compound LA-15 in a dose of 6mg/kg/day p.o. x 9 (Tab. 8-3) which represents an evidence of antitumor effect of said compound. The results obtained are summarized in the following tables : Tab 8-1. Antitumor effect of compounds LA-2.
