According to the present invention, the taxol analogues of formula (I) are obtained by the action of an amine of formula: 24 3 5 4 8 \ nh (V) in which R3 and R4 are defined as above, on a taxane derivative of formula: ci3cch2ocoo r-conh oh 0 ocooch2cci3 ococ6h5 (VI) in which r and Ar are defined as above, to obtain a product of formula: r-conh o G1"°<41 0 O-G2 (VII) OCOCgHg in which R and Ar are as defined above and Gt and G2 each 10 represent a radical of formula (III) or a protective group (CCl3CH2OCO-) , at least one of the radicals Gl and G2 representing a radical of formula (III), followed, if necessary, by replacement of the protective group(s) 6 24 3 5 4 8 (CCl3CH2OCO-) by a hydrogen atom.
In general, the action of the amine of formula (V) on the taxane derivative of formula (VI) is carried out in an inert organic solvent such as a halogenated aliphatic 5 hydrocarbon, e.g. methylene chloride, at a temperature between 0°C and the boiling point of the reaction mixture. In order to avoid attack at the 7-position, it is especially advantageous to work in methylene chloride at a temperature below 50°C. By working at a temperature above 10 50°C, optionally in the presence of a sufficient excess of amine of formula (V), a mixture is formed of the products of formula (VII) in which one of the radicals Gj or G2 represents a radical of formula (III), or alternatively in which both radicals Gl and G2 each represent a radical of 15 formula (III).
Replacement of the protective group represented by Gj or G2 is generally performed by treatment with zinc in acetic acid, optionally in the presence of methanol, at a temperature of between 30 and 80°C. 20 The products of formula (I) may be separated from their mixtures by preparative chromatography on suitable supports.
The products of formula (I) obtained by the process of the invention may be purified by physical 25 methods such as crystallisation or chromatography on a suitable support.
The products of formula (I) may be optionally converted into acid addition salts with inorganic acids 24 3 5 A 8 (hydrochloric, sulphuric, nitric, phosphoric acids) or organic acids (acetic, oxalic, maleic, fumaric acids).
The products of formula (VI) may be obtained by the processes described in European Patents EP-O,253,738 5 and EP-0,253,739.
The products of formula (I), and especially those in which R represents a t-butoxy radical, possess noteworthy biological properties.
In vitro, measurement of the biological 10 activity is performed on tubulin extracted from porcine brain by the method of M.L. Shelanski et al. , Proc. Natl.
Acad. Sci. USA, 70, 765-768 (1973). Study of the depolymerisation of microtubules to tubulin is performed according to the method of G. Chauviere et al., C.R. Acad. 15 Sci., 293. Series II, 501-503 (1981). In this study, the products of formula (I) were shown to be at least as active as taxol.
In vivo, the products of formula (I) were shown to be active in mice grafted with B16 melanoma at doses of 20 between 1 and 10 mg/kg administered intraperitoneally, as well as against other liquid or solid tumours.
Moreover, the products of formula (I) have better solubility in water than taxol or the taxane derivatives which form the subject of European Patent 25 EP-0,253,738.

The new products of general formula (I) possess especially advantageous biological activities.
The new products of general formula (I) 24 35 4 8 manifest significant inhibitory activity towards abnormal cell proliferation, and possess therapeutic properties enabling patients having pathological conditions associated with abnormal cell proliferation to be treated. The 5 pathological conditions include the abnormal cell proliferation of malignant or non-malignant cells of various tissues and/or organs comprising, without implied limitation, muscle, bone or connective tissue, and the skin, brain, lungs, sex organs, lymphatic or renal system, 10 mammary or blood cells, liver, digestive system, pancreas and thyroid or adrenal glands. These pathological conditions can also include psoriasis, solid tumours, cancer of the ovary, breast, brain, prostate, colon, stomach, kidney or testicles, Kaposi's sarcoma, 15 cholangiocarcinoma, choriocarcinoma, neuroblastoma, Wilms' tumour, Hodgkin's disease, melanoma, multiple myeloma, chronic lymphocytic leukaemia and acute or chronic granulocytic lymphoma. The new products according to the invention are especially useful for the treatment of cancer 20 of the ovary. The products according to the invention may be used for preventing or delaying the appearance or reappearance of pathological conditions or for treating these pathological conditions.
The products according to the invention may be 25 administered to a patient according to various forms suited to the chosen administration route, which is preferably the parenteral route. Parenteral administration comprises intravenous, intraperitoneal, intramuscular or subcutaneous 24 35 48 36 administration. Intra-peritoneal or intravenous administration is more especially preferred.
The present invention also comprises pharmaceutical compositions containing at least one product 5 of general formula (I), in a sufficient amount suited to use in human or veterinary therapy. The compositions may be prepared according to the customary methods, using one or more pharmaceutically acceptable adjuvants, vehicles or excipients. Suitable vehicles include diluents, sterile 10 aqueous media and various non-toxic solvents. Preferably, the compositions take the form of aqueous solutions or suspensions and of injectable solutions which can contain emulsifiers, colourings, preservatives or stabilisers.
The choice of adjuvants or excipients can be 15 determined by the solubility and the chemical properties of the product, the particular mode of administration and good pharmaceutical practice.
For parenteral administration, sterile, aqueous or non-aqueous solutions or suspensions are used. For the 20 preparation of non-aqueous solutions or suspensions, natural vegetable oils such as olive oil, sesame oil or liquid paraffin, or injectable organic esters such as ethyl oleate, may be used. The sterile aqueous solutions can consist of a solution of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt 2 5 dissolved in water. Aqueous solutions are suitable for intravenous administration provided the pH is suitably adjusted and the solution is made isotonic, e.g. with a sufficient amount of sodium chloride or glucose. 24 35 48 37 Sterilisation may be carried out by heating or by any other means which does not adversely affect the composition.
It is, of course, understood that all the products participating in the compositions according to the 5 invention must be pure and non-toxic in the amounts used.
The compositions can contain at least 0.01 % of therapeutically active product. The amount of active product in a composition is such that a suitable dosage can be prescribed. Preferably, the compositions are prepared in 10 such a way that a single dose contains from 0.01 to 1000 mg approximately of active product for parenteral administration.
The therapeutic treatment may be performed concurrently with other therapeutic treatments, including 15 antineoplastic drugs, monoclonal antibodies, immunotherapy or radiotherapy or agents that modify biological responses.
Agents that modify responses include, without implied limitation, lymphokines and cytokines such as inter leukins, interferons (a-, j3- or S-) and TNF. Other chemotherapeutic 20 agents which are useful in the treatment of disorders due to abnormal cell proliferation include, without implied limitation, alkylating agents such as nitrogen mustards, e.g. mechlorethamine, cyclophosphamide, melphalan and chlorambucil, alkyl sulphonates such as busulphan, 2 5 nitrosoureas such as carmustine, lomustine, semustine and streptozocin, triazines such as dacarbazine, antimetabolites such as folic acid analogues, e.g. methotrexate, pyrimidine analogues such as fluorouracil and 243548 38 cytarabine, purine analogues such as mercaptopurine and thioguanine, natural products such as vinca alkaloids, e.g. vinblastine, vincristine and vindesine, epipodophyllotoxins such as etoposide and teniposide, antibiotics such as 5 dactinomycin, daunorubicin, doxorubicin, bleomycin, plicamycin and mitomycin, enzymes such as L-asparaginase, various agents such as coordination complexes of platinum, e.g. cisplatin, substituted ureas such as hydroxyurea, methylhydrazine derivatives such as procarbazine, adrenal 10 cortex suppressants such as mitotane and aminoglutethimide, hormones and antagonists such as adrenocorticosteroids, e.g. prednisone, progestins, such as hydroxyprogesterone caproate, methoxyprogesterone acetate and megestrol acetate, oestrogens such as diethylstilboestrol and 15 ethinyloestradiol, oestrogen antagonists such as tamoxifen, and androgens such as testosterone propionate and fluoxymesterone.
The doses used to carry out the methods according to the invention are those which permit a 2 0 prophylactic treatment or a maximal therapeutic response. The doses vary according to the form of administration, the particular product selected and the distinctive characteristics of the subjects to be treated. In general, the doses are those which are therapeutically effective for 25 the treatment of disorders due to abnormal cell proliferation. The products according to the invention may be administered as often as necessary to obtain the desired therapeutic effect. Some patients may respond rapidly at 24 3 5 4 8 39 relatively high or low doses and may then require low or zero maintenance doses. In general, low doses will be used at the beginning of the treatment and, if necessary, increasingly stronger doses will be administered until an 5 optimal effect is obtained. For other patients, it may be necessary to administer maintenance doses 1 to 8 times a day, and preferably 1 to 4 times, depending on the physiological requirements of the patient in question. For some patients, it is also possible for it to be necessary 10 to use only one to two daily administrations.
In humans, the doses are generally between 0.01 and 200 mg/kg. Intraperitoneally, the doses will generally be between 0.1 and 100 mg/kg, preferably between 0.5 and 50 mg/kg and still more specifically between 1 and 15 10 mg/kg. Intravenously, the doses are generally between 0.1 and 50 mg/kg, preferably between 0.1 and 5 mg/kg and still more specifically between 1 and 2 mg/kg. It is understood that, in order to choose the most suitable dosage, the administration route, the patient's weight, 20 general state of health and age and all factors which may influence the efficacy of the treatment should be taken into account.
The example which follows illustrates the composition according to the invention.
EXAMPLE The product obtained in Example 1 (40 mg) is dissolved in Emulphor EL 620 (1 cc) and ethanol (1 cc), and the solution is then diluted by adding physiological saline 24 3 5 4 8 40 (18 cc).
The composition is administered by introduction into a perfusion of a physiological solution for 1 hour. 41
