Description:
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     This invention is concerned with new organic compounds of the formula ##STR6## where R 1  and R 2  are individually selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and alkyl(C 1  -C 6 ); or R 1  and R 2  taken together are selected from the group consisting of ##STR7## where n is an integer 3-6, ##STR8## where m is an integer 3-6, and ##STR9## and L is selected from the group consisting of --O--, --CH 2  --, ##STR10## where R 3  is alkyl(C 1  -C 6 ) or CH 2  CH 2  OH. The novel compounds of the invention are advantageously used to induce palliation and/or regression of tumors in mammals. 
     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     The compounds of this invention may be prepared according to the following flowchart and description: ##STR11## 
     In accordance with the above flowchart an amine (1) where R 1  and R 2  are as described above is reacted with potassium tetrachloroplatinate in aqueous solution, giving the platinum chloride derivative (2). 
     A dicarboxylic acid (3) where L is as described above is reacted with sodium hydroxide and silver nitrate in aqueous solution giving the disilver salt (4). Reaction of (2) and (4) in aqueous solution provides the products (5). ##STR12## 
     Alternatively, platinum derivative (2) may be reacted with silver nitrate in aqueous solution to give nitrate derivative (6) which is then reacted in aqueous solution with a dicarboxylic acid (3) and sodium hydroxide to give the products (5). 
     The novel compounds of this invention possess the property of inducing regression and/or inhibiting the growth of malignant neoplasms in mammals. This activity is demonstrated by the ability to increase the median survival time of mice transplanted with the following tumors: Lymphocytic Leukemia P388; Melanotic Melanoma B16; Lymphocytic Leukemia L1210; Colon 26 Adenocarcinoma; and M5076 Sarcoma. The National Cancer Institute customarily utilizes the first three of these assays in screening anticancer agents for potential clinical utility. In a study by the National Cancer Institute (reported by J. M. Venditti in &#34;Pharmacological Basis of Cancer Chemotherapy&#34;, 1975, Williams &amp; Williams Co.), it was concluded that activity against L1210, P388 and B16 melanoma transplanted in rodents would have predicted the clinical activity of most established anticancer drugs. The retrospective analysis of 45 clinically active drugs also indicated that the predictive value of activity against L1210 leukemia transplanted into mice extended to activity against human solid tumors as well as human leukemias and lymphomas. Nineteen of the 21 drugs active against human solid tumors met at least the minimal criteria of activity in the L1210 or P388 screens and thus would have been detected. Pertinent here also is the article by S. C. Silverstein, The Sciences, 1981, which further demonstrates the correlation between B16 mouse melanoma and melanoma in human beings. 
     In the following tests, the antitumor activity of representative novel compounds of the invention is also compared with the activity of Cisplatin, which is the only platinum antineoplastic agent currently on the market. 
     Lymphocytic Leukemia P388 Test 
     The animals used were BDF/1 mice, all of one sex, weighing a minimum of 18 g and all within a 3 g weight range. There were 5 or 6 animals per test group. The tumor transplant was by intraperitoneal injection of 0.5 ml of dilute ascitic fluid containing 10 6  cells of lymphocytic leukemia P 388 . The test compounds were administered intraperitoneally on days 1, 5 and 9 relative to tumor inoculation, at various doses. The animals were weighed and the survivors recorded on a regular basis for 30 days. The median survival time and the ratio of survival time for treated (T)/control (C) animals were calculated. The positive control compound was Cisplatin. The results of this test with representative compounds of this invention appear in Table I.

     The animals used were C57BC/6 mice, all of the same sex, weighing a minimum of 17 g and all within a 3 g weight range. There were 10 animals per test group. A 1 g portion of melanotic melanoma B 16  tumor was homogenized in 10 ml of cold balanced salt solution and a 0.5 ml aliquot of the homogenate was implanted intraperitoneally into each of the test mice. The test compounds were administered intraperitoneally on days 1 through 9, relative to tumor inoculation, at various doses. The animals were weighed and survivors recorded on a regular basis for 60 days. The median survival time for treated (T)/control (C) animals were calculated. The positive control compound was Cisplatin. The results of this test appear in Table II.

     Colon 26 Adenocarcinoma Test 
     The animals used were Balb/C mice all of one sex, weighing a minimum of 17 g and all within a 3 g weight range. There were 5 or 6 mice per test group with three groups of 5 or 6 animals used as untreated controls for each test. The tumor implant was by intraperitoneal (or subcutaneous) injection of 0.5 ml of a 2% Colon 26 tumor brei in Eagle&#39;s MEM medium containing antibiotics. The test compounds were administered intraperitoneally on days 1, 5 and 9 (relative to tumor implant doses). The mice were weighed and deaths recorded on a regular basis for 30 days. The median survival times and the ratio of survival time for treated (T)/control (C) animals were calculated. The positive control compound was Cisplatin.

     Another aspect of the invention comprises novel compositions of matter and the method of inducing the regression and/or palliation of leukemia and other cancers in mammals using the novel compounds of this invention when administered in amounts ranging from about 1 mg to about 1.2 g per square meter of body surface area per day. The interrelationship of dosages for animals of various sizes and species and humans (based on mg/m 2  of surface area) is described by Freireich, E. J., et al., Quantitative Comparison of Toxicity of Anticancer Agents in Mouse, Rat, Hamster, Dog, Monkey and Man. Cancer Chemother. Rep., 50, No. 4, 219-244, May 1966. A preferred dosage regimen for optimum results would be from about 3 mg/m 2  /day to about 200 mg/m 2  /day, and such dosage units are employed that a total of from about 5 mg to about 360 mg of the active compound for a subject of about 70 kg of body weight are administered in a 24 hour period. This dosage regimen may be adjusted to provide the optimum therapeutic response. For example, several divided doses may be administered daily or the dose may be proportionally reduced as indicated by the exigencies of the therapeutic situation. The active compound may be administered by the intravenous, intramuscular or subcutaneous routes. 
     The active compounds may be administered parenterally. Solutions or dispersions of the active compound can be prepared in water, suitably mixed with a surfactant such as hydroxypropylcellulose. Dispersions can also be prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycols, and mixtures thereof in oils. Under ordinary conditions of storage and use these preparations contain a preservative to prevent the growth of microorganisms. 
     The pharmaceutical forms suitable for injectable use include sterile aqueous solutions or dispersions and sterile powders for the extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable solutions or dispersions. In all cases the form must be sterile and must be fluid to the extent that easy syringability exists. It must be stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage and must be preserved against the contaminating action of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. The carrier can be a solvent or dispersion median containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyol (e.g. glycerol, propylene glycol, liquid polyethylene glycol), suitable mixtures thereof and vegetable oils. The proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of a coating such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersion and by the use of surfactants. The prevention of the action of microorganisms can be brought about by various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, sorbic acid, thimerosal and the like. In many cases it will be preferably to include isotonic agents, for example, sugars or sodium chloride. Prolonged absorption of the injectable compositions can be obtained by the use in the compositions of agents which delay absorption, for example, aluminum monostearate and gelatin. Sterile injectable solutions are prepared by incorporating the active compound in the required amount in the appropriate solvent with various of the other ingredients enumerated above, as required, followed by filtered sterilization. Generally, dispersions are prepared by incorporating the various sterilized active ingredient into a sterile vehicle which contains the basic dispersion medium and the required other ingredients from those enumerated above. In the case of sterile powders for the preparation of sterile injectable solutions, the preferred methods of preparation are vacuum drying and the freeze-drying technique which yield a powder of the active ingredient plus any additional desired ingredient from a previously sterile-filtered solution thereof. 
     As used herein &#34;pharmaceutically acceptable carrier&#34; includes any and all solvents, dispersion media, coatings, antibacterial and antifungal agents, isotonic and absorption delaying agents and the like. The use of such media and agents for pharmaceutically active substances is well known in the art. Except insofar as any conventional media or agent is incompatable with the active ingredient, its use in the therapeutic compositions is contemplated. Supplementary active ingredients can also be incorporated into the compositions. 
     It is especially advantageous to formulate parenteral compositions in dosage unit form for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. Dosage unit form as used herein refers to physically discrete units suited as unitary dosages for the mammalian subject to be treated; each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active material calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect in association with the required pharmaceutical carrier. The specification for the novel dosage unit forms of the invention are dictated by and directly dependent on (a) the unique characteristics of the active material and the particular therapeutic effect to be achieved, and (b) the limitations inherent in the art of compounding such an active material for the treatment of disease in living subjects having a diseased condition in which bodily health is impaired as herein disclosed in detail. 
     The principal active ingredient is compounded for convenient and effective administration in effective amounts with a suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carrier in dosage unit form as hereinbefore disclosed. A unit dosage form can, for example, contain the principal active compound in amounts ranging from about 2 mg to about 2 g, with from about 5 to about 360 mg being preferred. Expressed in proportions, the active compound is generally present in from about 2 to about 100 mg/ml of carrier. In the case of compositions containing supplementary active ingredients, the dosages are determined by reference to the usual dose and manner of administration of the said ingredients. 
     Regression and palliation of cancers are attained, for example, using intraperitoneal administration. A single intravenous dosage or repeated daily dosages can be administered. Daily dosages up to about 5 or 10 days are often sufficient. It is also possible to dispense one daily dosage or one dose on alternate of less frequent days. As can be seen from the dosage regimens, the amount of principal active ingredient administered is a sufficient amount to aid regression and palliation of leukemia and other cancers, in the absence of excessive deleterious side effects of a cytotoxic nature to the host harboring the cancer. As used herein, cancer disease means blood malignancies such as leukemia, and other solid and nonsolid malignancies such as the melanomas adenocarcinomas and sarcomas. By regression and palliation is meant arresting or retarding the growth of the tumor or other manifestation of the disease compared to the course of the disease in the absence of treatment.
