     TECHNICAL FIELD 
     The present invention relates to an antitumor agent comprising a thiadiazoline derivative or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof as an active ingredient, and a thiadiazoline derivative or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof which is useful for therapeutic treatment of a tumor. 
     BACKGROUND ART 
     In chemotherapies of cancers, a variety of anticancer agents including antimitotic agents such as taxane and vinca alkaloid, topoisomerase inhibitors, alkylating agents and the like have been used. These agents have side effects such as bone marrow toxicity and neuropathy, a problem of drug resistance and the like. Therefore, novel anticancer agents which have improvement in the above problems have so far been desired. 
     It is known that thiadiazoline derivatives have inhibitory activity against transcription factor STAT6 activation, antagonistic action of integrin, and the control of insect or acarid pests (Japanese Published Unexamined Patent Application No. 2000-229959, WO01/56994, U.S. Pat. No. 6,235,762). In addition, it is known that the derivatives have antibacterial activity, ACE inhibitory activity and the like [J. Bangladesh Chem. Soc., Vol. 5, p. 127 (1992), WO93/22311, Japanese Published Unexamined Patent Application No. 62-53976 (1987)].

     Next, the pharmacological activity of typical Compounds (I) will be explained by the following test example. 
     Test Example 1 
     Antiproliferative Activity in HCT 116 Human Colon Cancer Cells 
     HCT 116 cells (ATCC No.: CCL-247) were placed on a 96-well microliter plate (Nunc, 167008) at a density of 1×10 3  cells/well. The plate was incubated in a 5% CO 2  incubator at 37° C. for 24 hours, and then to the plate was added test compounds diluted stepwise to 100 mL/well in total, and the plate was further incubated in a 5% CO 2  incubator at 37° C. for 72 hours. To the culture medium, the XTT (sodium 3′-[1-(phenylaminocarbonyl)-3,4-tetrazolium)-bis(4-methoxy-6-nitro)benzenesulfonic acid hydrate) labeling mixture (Roche Diagnostics, 1465015) was dispensed in 50 mL/well portions, then the plate was incubated in a 5% CO 2  incubator at 37° C. for 1 hour, and the absorbance was measured at 490 nm and 655 nm with a microplate spectrophotometer (Bio-Rad, Model 550). The inhibitory activity against cell proliferation was shown as a concentration of 50% proliferation inhibition, GI 50 . 
     GI 50  calculation method: The value (difference in absorbance) was calculated by subtracting the absorbance at 655 nm from the absorbance at 490 nm of each well. The difference in absorbance obtained from the cells untreated with a test compound was defined as 100%, and compared with the difference in absorbance obtained from the cells treated with the solution of the compound in the known concentration, and thereby the concentration of the compound of 50% inhibition against cell proliferation was calculated to obtain GI 50 . 
     The results of the typical compounds obtained in Test example 1 are shown in Table 14. Compounds 138, 152, 165, 170, 173, and 199 showed the GI 50  value less than 10 μmol/L.
