Abstract
It is intended to provide water-soluble derivative of camptothecins which are excellent in therapeutic effect and suitable for chemotherapy for cancer. Namely, a water-soluble high-molecular weight derivative of camptothencins being excellent in sustained-release which is obtained by ester-bonding a carboxylic acid group of a polyethylene glycol-polycarboxylic acid polymer to a phenolic hydroxyl group of phenolic camptothencins.
Claims11
A high-molecular weight derivative of camptothecins having a structure wherein a carboxylic acid group of a copolymer of polyethylene glycol and a polymer having a carboxylic acid group at the side chain, is combined with a phenolic hydroxyl group of phenolic camptothecins via an ester bond.
A high-molecular weight derivative of camptothecins of the general formula (I):
- [wherein, R1 represents a hydrogen atom or a (C1 to C6) alkyl group optionally having a substituent, t represents an integer of 5 to 11500, A represents a bonding group, d+e+f represents an integer of 3 to 200, R2 represents a hydrogen atom or a (C1 to C6) alkyl group optionally having a substituent or a silyl group optionally having a substituent, R3 represents a hydrogen atom or a (C1 to C6) alkyl group optionally having a substituent, R4 may be the same or different and represents a (C1 to C20) alkoxyl group optionally having a substituent, a (C1 to C20) alkylamino group optionally having a substituent, a di(C1 to C20) alkylamino group optionally having a substituent or a (C1 to C20) alkylaminocarbonyl (C1 to C20) alkylamino group optionally having a substituent, and P represents a hydrogen atom, a (C1 to C6) acyl group or a (C1 to C6) alkoxycarbonyl group.].
A high-molecular weight derivative of camptothecins, obtained by reacting a block copolymer of a polyethylene glycol portion and polyaminoglutamic acid or polyaspartic acid, with phenolic camptothecins in an organic solvent using a condensing agent.
