The invention also relates to a proces~ for the prepar-ation of compounds of the formula I, which comprises the cytorhodin crude mixture which is obtained as fraction B
according to Example 4 of the EP-A-0,131,181 by cultiva-tion of the microorganism strain Y-11,472 (DSM 2658) and extraction of the mycelium and of the culture filtrate using various organic solvents, a) being dissolved in aqueous buffer, preferably at pH 3.0-~.O, the resulting solution being extracted at pH values which are increased stepwise, preferably at pH 6.0, 7.0 and 8.0, with an organic solvent, preferably ethyl acetate, obtaining a com-pound of the formula I in which Rl is Roa-Rod-Rod and R2 is Roa by chromatographic purification from the extracts which have been concentrated, and b) the resulting compound being optionally converted into a compound of the formula I in which Rl and R2 are each Roa by hydrolysis with an inorganic acid.

The hydrolysis is carried out using a dilute inorganic acid, preferably hydrochloric acid, for example with stirring for several hours at room temperature. The desired compound is then obtained from the reaction medium by extraction, for example using chloroform.
I

The anthracyclinone glycoside class of substances has been known for a long time. The cytostatically active compounds daunorubicin and doxorubicin (cf. for example F. Arcamone, Doxorubicin, Academic Press, New York, 1981) which arè used in particular for the treatment of malig-nant tumors belong thereto. Many other representatives of this class of substances have now been prepared by a biological or semisynthetic route, amongst these also being the cytorhodins which are particularly interesting because of their superior cytostatic effect ~EP-A-0,131,181; EP-A-0,131,942).

Structural features of almost all the biosynthetically prepared anthracyclines are the variously substituted anthracyclinone framework, one or more sugars which are ~lycosidically bonded to secondary hydroxyl groups (usually C-7, C-10), and often a free, tertiary OH group on C-9 (D.G. Strauss, Pharmazie 42 (1987), 289~.

Surprisingly, it has now also been possible to prepare by a microbiological route anthracyclinone C-9 glycosides which are distinguished by their cytostatic activity and low acute toxicity.

The cytostatic activity was determined on L 1210 leukemia cells in the so-called proliferation test as follows:

L 1210 cells in the exponential growth phase (5 x 103/ml in RPMI 1640) are incubated in a micro~iter plate for 72 hours with various concent~ations of the test subs-tance (37C, 5 % CO2, 95 % relative humidity).

Controls are composed of cells which are incubated withfresh medium only. All determinations are carried out as quadruple determination~. After 65 hours 50 ~l of MTT ~3-(4-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide, 2.5 mg~ml in PBS) are added. MTT is reduced to a red, insoluble formazan dye by live cells. After a further 7-hour incubation the supernatant medium i8 carefully aspirated off. The formazan dye is dissolved by the addition of 100 ~l of DMSO into each of the wells of the microtiter plate and careful shaking. The extinction of each solution is measured at 492 nm using a Multiscan 340 CC photometer, from Plow.

From the measurements thus obtained the dose effect plot is determined, and the IC50, i.e. the concentration which, under the test conditions, reduces the formation of the formazan dye by 50 % in comparison with the control, is determined graphically.

For the determination of the acute toxicity, BDF1 mice were injected intravenously on day 0, day 3 and day 6 with various doses of the teæt substance which had been dissolved in 0.4 ml of physiological saline. Control groups received only 0.4 ml of physiological saline. Two mice were used per concentration of the test substance.
On day 20, the number of surviving mice and, from this, the LDso was determined. The toxicity of the compound described here in comparison with adriamycin is sum-marized in Table 1.

On the basis of the cystosta~ic activity sho~n, the com-pounds according to the invention are suitable for the treatment of malignant tumors of mammals, for example of human gastro-intestinal, mammary, ovarian and bronchial tumors.

The process according to the invention is illustrated by the following examples:

~xample 1 21 g of cytorhodin crude mixture are dissolved in 5.0 1 of sodium acetate buffer pH 3.0, the pH subsequently l~ 30 being adjusted to 6.0 using 2 N sodium hydroxide solu-¦ tion. The aqueous phase is extracted with 1 1 of ethyl ¦ acetate, adjusted to pH 7.0 using 2 N NaOH and extracted twice with 2 1 of ethyl acetate each time. For the complete extraction of the cytorhodins, the pH of the aqueous phase is increased to 8.0 and it is extracted with 2 1 of chloroform. The organic phases are dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The following products are obtained:

Fraction I (pH 6.0): 11.4 g of mainly nonpolar cyto-rhodins ; Fraction II (pH 7.0): 8.3 g of cytorhodins of medium ~o polarity Fraction III (pH 8.0~: 1.7 g of polar cytorhodins 4.8 g of the drisd extract from fraction II (pH 7.0) are dissolved in 30 ml of methanol/l % triethylammonium phosphate buffer pH 7.0 = 93:7 (system A) and applied to a steel column containing 1.9 1 of RP-18 silica gel (LiChroprep RP-18, 25-40 ~m, Merck) which has been equilibrated with system A, and are eluted with system A
~;~ at a flow rate of 20 ml/min. After a fore-run of 1000 ml, fractions of 20 ml are collected and analyzed by thin-layer chromatography (silica gel 60 F254 Merck, system B:
chloroform/ methanol/glacial acetic acid/water = 75:16:10:4). The fractions containing cytorhodin Z
(Fr. 55-95) are combined, an equal volume of water i8 added and they are extracted with 1/5 of the volume of chloroform. The organic phase is washed with water, dried over sodium sulfate, concentrated in vacuo and precipita-ted using hexane.

Yield: 1.9 g of~enriched cytorhodin Z.

~xample 2 1.5 g of cytorhodin Z obtained as in Example 1 are dissolved in 6 ml of chloroform/methanol/glacial acetic acid/water = 50:25:7:4 (system C) and applied to a column containing 205 ml of silica gel 60 Merck 15-40 ~m, equilibrated with system C, and are eluted with system C.

After a fore-run of 600 ml, fractions of 10 ml are col-lected and analyzed by thin-layer chromatography (silica gel 60 F254 Merck, system B). Fractions containing cytorhodin Z (Fr. 10-60) are combined, and a 5 % strength aqueous NaaHPO4 solution is added until the chloroform phase separates~out. The organic phase is washed with Na2HPO4 solution and with water, dried over sodium 8ul-fate, concentrated in vacuo and precipitated using hexane.

Yield: 660 mg of pure cytorhodin Z.
