Dicarbonic Acid Derivatives, Metastasis Inhibitors and Agents Increasing Chemotherapeutic Activity of Anti-Tumor Preparations, Method for Enhancing the Cytostatic Efficiency and Metastasis Process Inhibiting Method

Abstract

The invention relates to dicarbonic acid derivatives and concerns dicarbonic acid monooxydamines and dioxydamides, which are physiologically active substances and can be used as low-toxic and non-toxic agents for enhancing the anti-tumor and anti-metastasis effects of known cytostatics (cyclophosphane and cisplatin) in cytostatic chemotherapy of tumors. The object of the present invention is to broaden the assortment of agents affecting a live organism in order to enhance anti-tumor and anti-metastasis effects of known cytostatics. This object is resolved by the properties of dicarbonic acid monooxydamines and dioxydamides. The essence of the invention consists in that dicarbonic acid derivatives, the formulas of which are presented in the specification, are proposed as agents for enhancing anti-tumor and anti-metastasis effects of cytostatics. The claimed compounds can be used in medical practice as low-toxic agents for enhancing anti-tumor and anti-metastasis effects of known cytostatics with a simultaneous 4-fold reduction of the therapeutic dose of cytostatics. The use of the proposed compounds in a combination with cisplatin at the minimum doses makes it possible to completely inhibit the metastasis process in experimental B-16 melanoma. Furthermore, the use of the proposed compounds at the minimum doses in a combination with the minimum doses of cytostatics (when neither of the preparations alone exhibitsefficacy) makes it possible to obtain a high therapeutic effect in treating leukemias (survival of animals with P-388 leukemia in the test group is 100%).
