BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to compounds which have antitumor activity and are useful as antitumor agents.
2. Description of the Related Art
Several compounds such as anthracycline and the like have been reported as antibiotics which have the anthraquinone nucleus (CRC Handbook of Antibiotic Compounds, CRC Press, U.S.A., 1981).


BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to UCT1072 compounds.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention provides UCT1072 compounds represented by formula (I): ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 together represent --CH(OH)CH.sub.2 O-- or --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 CH(OH)CH.sub.2 --, which has antitumor activity. The compounds can be obtained by culturing a microorganism belonging to the genus Aspergillus.
Among the UCT1072 compounds represented by formula (I), the compound in which R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 together represent --CH(OH)CH.sub.2 -- is called UCT1072M1, and the compounds in which R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 together represent --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 CH(OH)CH.sub.2 -- are called UCT1072M2 and UCT1072M3. UCT1072M2 and UCT1072M3 are respective stereoisomers.
The physicochemical properties of UCT1072 compounds are shown below. The physicochemical properties were measured by the following apparatus:

Biological activities of the UCT1072 compounds are described by the following test examples.


TEST EXAMPLE 1
Human Lung Cancer Lu-65 Cells
Respective cells were dispensed in 3.times.10.sup.3 cells/well portions into a 96 well microtiter plate (produced by Nunc Co., #167008) and pre-cultured at 37.degree. C. for 24 hours in a 5% carbon dioxide incubator. Thereafter, 3 mM solution of UCT1072M1, UCT1072M2 or UCT1072M3 was serially diluted and dispensed in 50 .mu.l portions into the wells. In this example, final concentrations of UCT1072 in each solution are at most 0.013 .mu.M. Culturing was continued at 37.degree. C. for 72 hours in the
