The inventors had studied for a long time to find new compounds having intensive antitumor activities. As a result, the inventors have found out that the compounds of the general formula (I), or acid addition salts thereof as defined above have not only prominent antitumor activities but also very low toxicities.
Accordingly, an object of the invention is to provide a compound of the general formula (I) or acid addition salt thereof having not only prominent antitumor activity but also very low toxicity.
Another object of the invention is to provide a process for the preparation of the compound of the general formula (I) or acid addition salt thereof.
The compounds of the present invention can be mixed with pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles by a conventional method to give pharmaceutical preparations to be used for prevention or treatment of various kinds of tumors.
Therefore, the other object of the present invention is to provide pharmaceutical preparations containing an effective amount of a compound of the general formula (I) or acid addition salt thereof as an active ingredient.
Acids which can be reacted with the compound of the general formula(I) to form acid addition salt thereof are pharmaceutically acceptable inorganic acids, organic acids, amino acids or sulfonic acids; for example, inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid and nitric acid; organic acids such as formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, succinic acid, citric acid, maleic acid and malonic acid; amino acids such as serine, cysteine, cystine, asparagine, glutamine, lysine, arginine, tyrosine and proline; sulfonic acids such as methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid and toluenesulfonic acid.
Vehicles used in formulating pharmaceutical preparations containing the compound of the general formula (I) as an active ingredient are sweetening agents, binding agents, dissolving agents, aids for dissolution, wetting agents, emulsifying agents, isotonic agents, adsorbents, degrading. agents, antioxidents, preservatives, lubricating agents, fillers, perfume or the like; for example may include lactose, dextrose, sucrose, mannitol, sorbitol, cellulose, glycine, silica, talc, stearic acid, stearin, magnesium stearate, calcium stearate, magnesium aluminum silicate, starch, gelatine, tragacanth gum, glycine, silica, alginic acid, sodium alginate, methyl cellulose, sodium carboxy methyl cellulose, agar, water, ethanol, polyethylenglycol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, orange essence, strawberry essence and vanilla aroma.
Daily dosage of the compound of the general formula (I) may be varied depending on age, sex and degree of disease, but preferably 1 mg to 5,000 mg per day may be administered by once to several times.
The compound of the general formula (I) according to the present invention may be prepared by following schemes I, II or III.

According to the above scheme, a compound of the general formula (a) is reacted with a —C(═X)— group-providing agent in organic solvent to give a compound of the general formula (b), and successively the compound (b) is reacted with a compound of the general formula (c) to give a compound of the general formula (I).
The —C(═X)— group-providing agent used may include, for example, 1,1-carbonyldiimidazole, 1,1-carbonylthiodiimidazole, phosgene, thiophosgene, carbonyldiphenoxide and phenylchloroformate, and it may be used in an amount of 1-1.5 equivalent, preferably 1-1.1 equivalent to the starting compound.
The reaction may be carried out preferably in a conventional organic solvent such as tetrahydrofuran, dichloromethane, chloroform, acetonitrile and dimethylformamide.
In addition, the reaction may be carried out preferably in the presence of a coupling agent. Such coupling agent may include conventional inorganic or organic bases, for example, including sodium hydride, potassium hydride, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, cesium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, triethylamine, pyridine and DBU, and it may be used by 1-5 equivalents.
The reaction may be carried out at a temperature between 3° C. and boiling point of a used solvent, preferably at 50° C.-100° C. for 5-48 hours, preferably for 10-24 hours.
