Definitions
- This invention is directed to certain 6-sulfenamide, 6- sulfinamide, and 6-sulfonamide purines, purine nucleosides and purine nucleotides including 3-deaza, 7-deaza and 8-aza derivatives thereof, to their preparation and to using these compounds to treat malignant tumors in vivo.
- Certain antimetabolites are known useful cancer chemotherapeutic agents.
- One such antimetabolite chemotherapeutic agent is 6-mercaptopurine.
- 6-Mercaptopurine was initially found to be highly active against adenocarcinoma and currently 6-mercaptopurine is utilized as a drug of choice in the treatment of leukemia. Its use in the treatment of leukemia led to dramatic increases in controlling this disease.
- Other useful antimetabolites are 6-thioguanine and 5-bromouracil. Nucleoside and nucleotide analogs of these and other purines and pyrimidines had been synthesized and tested as antitumor agents.
- Purine and pyrimidine nucleosides and nucleotides are ubiquitous throughout biological systems. It further appears that most of the analogs of purines and pyrimidines exert their biological activity only after conversion to a corresponding nucleotide. In view of this, a number of purine and pyrimidine nucleosides and nucleotides have been synthesized and screened for their antitumor properties.
- chemotherapeutic agent To be an effective chemotherapeutic agent a compound must possess a number of desirable properties. First of all, it must, of course, be an active antitumor agent. Coupled with this, it must not exhibit too great a host toxicity or must exhibit reversible toxicity such that the host is capable of surviving the chemotherapeutic treatment regimen. Optimally the chemotherapeutic agent should not induce the development of drug resistant cell lines. The inducement of drug resistant cell line occurs with certain known chemotherapeutic agents, as for instance, 6-mercaptopurine and cytosine arabinoside.
- chemotherapeutic agents need to transport to the site in the body inflicted with the neoplastic condition. Thus depending upon the type of tumor, this requires that chemotherapeutic agents be capable of reaching tumor containing organs. This includes being able to effectively penetrate the central nervous system by crossing the blood brain barrier. As is evident by the sparsity of clinically effective chemotherapeutic agents, very few compounds possess a sufficient number of these capabilities to be clinically useful.
- chemotherapeutic agents require repeated dosing in order to progressively diminish and kill the neoplastic cell populations affecting the host. During these repeated administrations of the chemotherapeutic agent it is further advantageous for the agent to not develop resistant cell lines. Because of the development of resistant cells by certain drugs presently used in the treatment of many neoplastic disease states, combinations of drugs are usually utilized. Thus, as resistant cells develop to a first drug, treatment with a second or further drug is often made in an attempt to effectively treat the drug resistant neoplastic cells.
- 6-sulfenamide, 6-sulfinamide and 6-sulfonamide purines, purine nucleosides and purine nucleotides and related analogs exhibit one or more of the properties discussed above, and further exhibit significant antitumor activity so as to be useful as antitumor agents in vivo.

- % T/C For those tests whose results are indicated as % T/C generally using NCI protocols for the L1210 tumor cell line, a value greater than 125% is considered as having activity. For those tests expressed as a percent of the original inoculum, values above 100 are considered inactive while those below 100 are viewed as active. Values below 25% are considered capable of producing effective therapy, those below 10% are considered good and those below 5% are considered very good. This expresses the percent of the cells which survived treatment based upon the original cells in the inoculum. Those tests expressed as increases in life span (% ILS) indicate the increased life span of the drug treated group compared to a control group.
- Table 1 demonstrates the results of inoculating mice with 10 6 L1210 seed cells and the spread of this tumor cell line throughout the body to multiple organ systems in the test species. As is indicative of Table 1, at day 7 the L1210 cellular population in multiple organ systems greatly exceeded 10 5 cells in each of the organs assayed. It is thus evident from Table 1 that if a chemotherapeutic agent is to be effective against the L1210 tumor line seeded at 10 6 it must reach all of the organ systems of the animal in view of spread of this neoplastic disease to all these organ systems.
- Tables 2-a and 2-b illustrate a dose response for Compound 19 against L1210 inoculated mice expressed as both increased life span compared to control and as the number of cells of the original inoculum surviving drug treatment.
- Tables 2-a and 2-b illustrate a dose response for Compound 19 against L1210 inoculated mice expressed as both increased life span compared to control and as the number of cells of the original inoculum surviving drug treatment.

- Test results are given utilizing standard protocols based on mean survival time and are expressed as T/C percentages (treated animals/control animals).
- BDF* ⁇ female mice were inoculated ip on day.0 with 10 ⁇ L1210 cells.
- Treatment group included 2 long term survivors which were not included in the calculation of life span.
- Treatment group included 1 long term survivor which was not included in the calculation of life span.
- Treatment group included 1 mouse which died from drug toxicity and was not included in the calculation of life span.
- Example C the oral efficacy of Compound 19 was compared to that for the drug when given intraperitoneally.
- mice were inoculated intraperitoneally on day 0 with a million cells of murine leukemia L1210. Drug was given qd days 1, 4 and 7. Increased life span is the mean increase in the treated group presented as a percentage of the mean life span of control mice.
- Example D Compound 19 is compared with 6-Thioguanosine. As per the oral treatment of Compound 19 seen in Table 3, in Table 4 it is evident that Thioguanosine has a flat dose response whereas Compound 19. shows a dose response curve when injected intraperitoneally.
- mice were inoculated intraperitoneally on day 0 with a million cells of murine leukemia L1210. Drugs were given qd days 1, 3, 5 and 7. Increased life span is presented as a percentage of the mean life span of control mice.
- Compound 19 shows an excellent dose response curve when delivered only once on day 1 with significant activity indicated at or above 37 mg per kg.
- Each treatment group consisted of 3 female BDF 1 mice.
- mice were inoculated i.p. with L1210 cells (10 6 per mouse) on day 0.
- Example F Compound 19 and other known cancer chemotherapeutic agents were bioassayed for activity against neoplastic cells in the brain utilizing the L1210 cell line injected intracranially into test animals.
- Table 6-a Compound 19 is compared to a control and in Table 6-b Compound 19 is compared to other known cancer chemotherapeutic agents.
- Table 6-a there is a significant reduction in the number of neoplastic cells in the brain of the test animal after i.p. infection with Compound 19 This is indicative of both activity of Compound 19 and the ability of Compound 19 to cross the blood brain barrier.
- Table 6-b Compound 19 shows an excellent therapeutic effect when compared to known chemotherapeutic agents evaluated by this test procedure. Only three known chemotherapeutic agents out of the seven tested showed results approximately equal to or better than those for Compound 19.
- mice were inoculated intracranially on day 0 with 1 ⁇ 10 5 L1210 cells. 24 hr later, on day 1, the mice were injected ip with Compound 19 or 0.9% NaCl. 24 hr after drug delivery the brains were collected, homogenized, and injected ip into untreated mice. Each mouse received the equivalent of half a brain. Thereafter, life span was monitored and, using inoculum-response data as a base of comparison, estimates were made of the numbers of viable cells in treated and control brains.
- Example G through K Compound 19 was tested against L1210 cell lines which had developed resistance to other known cancer chemotherapeutic agents. Depending upon the resistant cell line which was being tested and the mode of administration and/or treatment regimen, Compound 19 showed activity against various cell lines which are resistant to other known chemotherapeutic agents.
- Example G Compound 19 was tested against both L1210 cells and L1210 cells which were resistant to 6-Mercaptopurine, 6-Thioguanine and 6-Thioguanosine. As is evident from the different drug regimens shown, Compound 19 exhibited activity against the drug resistant cells. As was noted above, drugs in the 6-Mercaptopurine family are presently among the drugs of choice for treatment of leukemia. It is thus evident from Table 7-a that Compound 19 is active against cells which have become resistant to these drugs.
- Example H the results of which are shown in Table 8, Cytosine Arabinoside resistant L1210 cells were treated with Compound 19. As is evident from Table 8, Compound 19 showed greater efficacy against this resistant cell line than it did to the parent non-drug resistant L1210 cells. This is indicative of 'collateral activity' of compounds of the invention against resistant cells.
- Example I Compound 19 was tested against Methotrexate resistant L1210 cells. Depending upon the dose level and the dose regimen, activity can be seen against these Methotrexate resistant cells.
- Example J the results of which are shown in Table 10 below, Compound 19 was tested against 5-Fluorouracil resistant cells. Large dosages of Compound 19. were highly active against these resistant cells.
- Treatment group included 1 long term survivor which was not included in the calculation of life span.
- Example K the results of which are shown in Table 11 below.
- Compound 19 was tested against drug resistant cell lines developed against Compound 18.
- Compound 19 differs from Compound 18 only by the state of oxidation between the sulfenamide of Compound 18 and the sulfinamide of Compound 19.
- Compound 19 is effective against those L1210 cell lines which have developed resistance against Compound 18.
- Compound 18 may mimic 6-Thioguanosine in that it generates drug resistant cells
- the mode of action of Compound 19 is believed to be completely different as is expressed by its activity seen in Example G against 6-Thioguanosine resistant cell lines and its activity in Example K against Compound 18. resistant cell lines.
- Example M a further example was run similar to that of Exhibit L except that Compound 19 was utilized in conjunction with the known chemotherapeutic agent Tiazofurin. As is evident from the results tabulated in Table 13 increased activity is seen when Compound 19 and Tiazofurin are given sequentially. Sequence dependency was also observed with the best result being produced when Compound 19 preceded Tiazofurin.
- Example N other compounds of the invention were tested against L1210 cells. All of the compounds listed in Table 14 exhibit activity. Further, Table 14 shows the maximum solubility (in water unless otherwise' indicated) and the maximum tolerated dose. Activity in Table 14-a is tabulated as both increases in life span and as cells surviving treatment and that in table 14-b as T/C. TABLE 14-a
- Compound 19 was also tested against a variety of solid tumors. No activity was noted against B-16 melanoma, Lewis lung carcinoma or human lung carcinoma LX-1. Activity, however, was noted in a variety of other solid tumors as per examples 0 through S below.
- mice (7/group) were inoculated s.c with 1 ⁇ 10 6 M5076 cells on day 0.
- Example P Compound 19 was tested against human mammary carcinoma MX-1. As per the results tabulated in Table 16, Compound 19 exhibited a dose response against this solid tumor.

Description
ANTITUMOR 6-SULFENAMIDE, 6-SULFINAMIDE AND 6-SULFONAMIDE PURINES, PURINE NUCLEOSIDES, PURINE NUCLEOTIDES AND RELATED COMPOUNDS
TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention is directed to certain 6-sulfenamide, 6- sulfinamide, and 6-sulfonamide purines, purine nucleosides and purine nucleotides including 3-deaza, 7-deaza and 8-aza derivatives thereof, to their preparation and to using these compounds to treat malignant tumors in vivo.
BACKGROUND ART
Certain antimetabolites are known useful cancer chemotherapeutic agents. One such antimetabolite chemotherapeutic agent is 6-mercaptopurine. 6-Mercaptopurine was initially found to be highly active against adenocarcinoma and currently 6-mercaptopurine is utilized as a drug of choice in the treatment of leukemia. Its use in the treatment of leukemia led to dramatic increases in controlling this disease. Other useful antimetabolites are 6-thioguanine and 5-bromouracil. Nucleoside and nucleotide analogs of these and other purines and pyrimidines had been synthesized and tested as antitumor agents.
Purine and pyrimidine nucleosides and nucleotides are ubiquitous throughout biological systems. It further appears that most of the analogs of purines and pyrimidines exert their biological activity only after conversion to a corresponding nucleotide. In view of this, a number of purine and pyrimidine nucleosides and nucleotides have been synthesized and screened for their antitumor properties.
To be an effective chemotherapeutic agent a compound must possess a number of desirable properties. First of all, it must, of course, be an active antitumor agent. Coupled with this, it must not exhibit too great a host toxicity or must exhibit reversible toxicity such that the host is capable of surviving the chemotherapeutic treatment
regimen. Optimally the chemotherapeutic agent should not induce the development of drug resistant cell lines. The inducement of drug resistant cell line occurs with certain known chemotherapeutic agents, as for instance, 6-mercaptopurine and cytosine arabinoside.
Further, effective chemotherapeutic agents need to transport to the site in the body inflicted with the neoplastic condition. Thus depending upon the type of tumor, this requires that chemotherapeutic agents be capable of reaching tumor containing organs. This includes being able to effectively penetrate the central nervous system by crossing the blood brain barrier. As is evident by the sparsity of clinically effective chemotherapeutic agents, very few compounds possess a sufficient number of these capabilities to be clinically useful.
Many effective chemotherapeutic agents require repeated dosing in order to progressively diminish and kill the neoplastic cell populations affecting the host. During these repeated administrations of the chemotherapeutic agent it is further advantageous for the agent to not develop resistant cell lines. Because of the development of resistant cells by certain drugs presently used in the treatment of many neoplastic disease states, combinations of drugs are usually utilized. Thus, as resistant cells develop to a first drug, treatment with a second or further drug is often made in an attempt to effectively treat the drug resistant neoplastic cells.
We have found that certain 6-sulfenamide, 6-sulfinamide and 6-sulfonamide purines, purine nucleosides and purine nucleotides and related analogs exhibit one or more of the properties discussed above, and further exhibit significant antitumor activity so as to be useful as antitumor agents in vivo.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a novel class of 6- sulfenamide, 6-sulfinamide and 6-sulfonamide purines, purine
nucleosides, purine nucleotides and 3 and 7 deaza and 8 aza derivatives thereof and to their preparation and use as antitumor agents.
In accordance with the invention, disclosed are compounds of the formula:
G, T and Q are C-H or N;
Y is H or an α-pentofuranose or β-pentofuranose of the formula:
and R3 and R4 are H or one of R3 or R4 is OH and the other is H; provided that when Y is H, Z is -NH2 ; and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. These compounds are useful as antitumor agents or they are intermediates for compounds which have these properties. They can be used to treat an affected host as, for example a mammalian host (i.e. a warm blooded host) by serving as the active ingredients of suitable pharmaceutical compositions.
Additionally, in accordance to the invention, an antitumor composition for the treatment of tumors in vivo contains as its active ingredient a therapeutic effective amount of a compound of the above formula.
Further, in accordance with the invention, tumors in warm blooded animals are treated by administering to the animal in need thereof, a pharmaceutical composition containing as the active component therein a therapeutically effect amount of a compound of the above formula.
The method of the invention and the antitumor composition of the invention used therein, are effective in bringing about regression, palliation, inhibition of growth, and remission of tumors.
Particularly useful are compound of the above formula wherein Y is a β-pentofuranose of the formula:
Included in this group are 2-amino-9-β-D-ribofuranosyl- 9H-purine-6-sulfenamide (see compound 18), 2-amino-9-β-D- ribofuranosyl-9H-purine-6-sulfinamide (see compound 19), 2- amino-9-β-D-ribofuranosyl-9H-purine-6-sulfonamide (see com
pound 20) and 2-amino-9-(2-deoxy-β-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)-9H-purine-6-sulfinamide (see compound 23).
Exhibiting particularly useful antitumor properties is the above 2-amino-9-β-D-ribofuranosyl-9H-purine-6-sulfinamide. This compound exhibits a particularly useful combination of solubility, activity and the lack of generating resistant cell lines as well as being able to penetrate the central nervous system and be active in both an oral and an injectable form. For use in pharmaceutical compositions of the invention, a pharmaceutical carrier would be utilized. Preferably, the pharmaceutical carrier would be chosen to allow for administration of a suitable concentration of the active compounds of the invention either by oral administration, ophthalmic administration, topical administration, suppository administration or by suitable injection as a solution or suspension into the effected host. The dose and choice of administration of the active compounds of the invention would depend upon the host harboring the malignant tumor, the type of tumor, and the tumor site. For injection, the active compounds of the invention could be administered intravenously, intramuscularly, intracerebrally, subcutaneously, or intraperitoneally. The compounds of the invention are especially useful in treating carcinomas, sarcomas and leukemias. Included in such a class are mammary, colon, bladder, lung, prostate, stomach and pancreas carcinomas and lymphoblastic and myeloid leukemias. Other compounds of the invention are useful as intermediates for the preparation of the active antitumor compounds of the invention. Further certain of the compounds of the invention are useful as prodrugs for other active antitumor compounds of the invention.
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
A group of 6-sulfenamide, 6-sulfinamide and 6-sulfonamide purines, purine nucleosides and purine nucleotides and related analogs have been found to have antitumor properties or be intermediates for compounds having such antitumor properties. Included in this group of compounds are purines which have been substituted on the purine ring at the 2 position with an amino group and various nucleosides and nucleotides as well as modification of the purine ring at the 3, 7, and 8 positions forming deaza and aza purines. Included in this group are the ribofuranosyl, the deoxyribofuranosyl and the arabinofuranosyl nucleosides, the monophosphates of these nucleosides and the 3',5'-cyclic phosphates of these nucleosides and derivatives thereof. Included in the deaza and aza purine compounds are the 3-deaza and the 7-deaza purine as well as the 8-aza-7-deaza purine.
One particular compound, 2-amino-9-β-D-ribofuranosyl9H-purine-6-sulfinamide, has exhibited good in vivo activity coupled with an excellent dose response performance while penetrating the central nervous system and exhibiting a lack of resistance cell generation. This compound is water soluble and orally active. Further, it has demonstrated activity against cells which have become resistant to other chemotherapeutic agents.
The 6-sulfonamide analog of this compound exhibits many of the properties of the 6-sulfinamide with the exception of lack of oral activity and CNS penetration. The deoxy derivative of this compound, i.e. the 2-deoxy-β-D-ervthropentofuranosyl derivative, also exhibits good activity with increased water solubility.
While we do not wish to be bound by theory, it is believed that many purines, pyrimidines, and purine and pyrimidine nucleosides exhibit their antitumor activity by being enzymatically phosphorylated in situ to their 5' phosphate derivative. Other enzyme systems are known which convert the 5'-phosphate to a 3',5'-cyclic phosphate.
Additionally, esterases are known which cleave phosphates and/or cyclic phosphates. In any event, activity has been shown for compounds of the invention as both nucleosides and nucleotides. In addition to phosphate or cyclic phosphate derivatives (phosphoryl ester prodrugs) the compounds of the inventions can also be administered as acyl ester prodrugs which are then also cleaved in vivo to the parent compound. Suitable acyl derivatives can be selected as, for example, from formyl, acetyl, propionyl, butyryl, isobutyryl, hexanoyl and benzoyl. Preferably acetyl is utilized. One or more hydroxyl group on the nucleosides of the invention can be suitable reacted to yield such a C1-C8 acyl prodrug. In performing the invention, a compound of the invention or a selected derivative thereof, is appropriately admixed with a suitable pharmaceutical carrier which may be as simple as sterilized water or could be a complex carrier having appropriate agents to suitably mimic certain biological environmental, i.e., pH or salt adjustment for solution suitable for intravenous, intramuscular or other injections, or other appropriate carrier manipulation for different routes of administration of the compounds of the invention.
In selecting a suitable pharmaceutical carrier, consideration of the type of tumor, the site of the tumor and the health and age of the host would be given. Additionally, if a derivatized form of a compound of the invention is used, consideration of the chemical reactivity of the derivative would also be given. Thus, if a phosphate form of a compound of the invention is used in practicing the invention, it might be used in the presence of a suitable buffer or an acceptable pharmaceutical salt thereof.
Acceptable salts of the phosphate moiety can be selected from, but not necessarily limited to the group consisting of alkali and alkaline earths, e.g. sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, lithium, or ammonium and substituted ammonium, trialklyammonium, dialkylammonium.
alklyammonium, e.g. triethylammonium, trimethylammonium, diethylammonium, octylammonium, cetyltrimethylammonium and cetylpyridium.
Since the compounds of the invention are water soluble they could suitably be given to a host as a solution in a suitable carrier. Alternately, however, suspensions, emulsions, or other formulations of the compounds of the invention could be used where indicated. The pharmaceutical carrier, in addition to having a solubilizing or suspending agent therein, might include suitable diluents, buffers, surface active agents or other similar agents as are typically used in pharmaceutical carriers. However, the total composition of the pharmaceutical carrier would be chosen to be compatible with the site of the delivery, the mode of delivery, the concentration of the active ingredient and other parameters as are standard in the pharmaceutical arts.
The compounds of the invention would be suitably admixed with the pharmaceutical carrier such that they would be present in a composition of at least 0.1 percent by weight of the total composition. Preferably, the compounds of the invention would be present in a pharmaceutical carrier at a concentration of about 10% to about 90% by weight of the total composition. A therapeutic effective amount of the compounds of the invention, as will be evident from the biological responses and solubilities given below, would be utilized in treating an affected host animal taking into consideration certain parameters such as the type of tumor, the tumor site, the form of administration of the compound, and the physical size and condition of the host. In any event, the actual amount should be sufficient to provide a chemotherapeutically effective amount of the agent in the host in a convenient carrier. This will be readily within the ability of those skilled in the Art given the disclosure herein.
The compounds of the invention can be given as single doses or as multiple doses divided into sub-doses given
daily or over a period of days. As will be evident from the examples below, compounds of the invention exhibit certain dose response curves and, as such, optimization of a dosage schedule is well within the 'Skill of the Art given the disclosure herein.
In novel processes of the invention, generally 6- mercaptopurine derivatives as the purine base, nucleoside or nucleotide are treated with chloramine to prepare the corresponding 6-sulfenamides. The chloramine can be prepared in situ by reacting ammonium hydroxide with sodium hypochlorite. The 6-sulfenamides are then selectively oxidized either to the 6-sulfinamide or fully oxidized to the 6-sulfonamide compounds. Generally for selective oxidation to the 6-sulfinamide, 1 eq. of an oxidizing agent is utilized. For full oxidation to the 6-sulfonamide, further equivalents of the oxidizing agent are utilized. Preferred as an oxidizing agent for process of the invention is m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid.
The above processes have been found useful for both preparing free purines, purine nucleosides and purine nucleotides of the invention. Typically, the 6-sulfinamide is prepared utilizing 1 eq. of the above referred to m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, and the 6-sulfonamide is prepared utilizing 4 eq. of m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid. It is evident that 6-sulfonamide compounds can be prepared directly from the corresponding 6-sulfenamide compounds or could be prepared via the 6-sulfinamide compounds as an intermediate.
Schemes I and II illustrate the general reaction schemes for preparation of compounds of the invention from starting 6-mercaptopurine precursors. In scheme I, the heterocycle utilized is a purine, whereas in scheme II various deaza and aza heterocycles are depicted.

As illustrative examples of use of the compounds of the invention the following examples are given. In these examples the efficacy of the compounds of the invention are demonstrated using standard tests against certain malignant tumors. These standard tests utilize protocols developed under the auspices of the Developmental Therapeutics Program, Division of Cancer Treatment, National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, Maryland, U.S.A. Except as otherwise indicated the tests conform to these protocols and are evaluated utilizing criteria defined by the protocols.
For the purposes of these examples certain of standard abbreviations are utilized as follows: ip intraperitoneal: qd - Once a Day: bid - Twice a Day: tid - Three Times a Day: qid - Four Times a Day: %T/C - Percent Treated Divided by Control: %ILS - Percent Increased Life Span: inj - Injection.
For those tests whose results are indicated as % T/C generally using NCI protocols for the L1210 tumor cell line, a value greater than 125% is considered as having activity. For those tests expressed as a percent of the original inoculum, values above 100 are considered inactive while those below 100 are viewed as active. Values below 25% are considered capable of producing effective therapy, those below 10% are considered good and those below 5% are considered very good. This expresses the percent of the cells which survived treatment based upon the original cells in the inoculum. Those tests expressed as increases in life span (% ILS) indicate the increased life span of the drug treated group compared to a control group.
THERAPEUTIC EXAMPLE A
As an indicator of reproducible activity, compounds of the invention and other known cancer chemotherapeutic agents were screened against L1210 lymphoid leukemia in vivo utilizing the mouse as a test species. Normal NCI protocols for this test require 105 seed cells of the L1210 cell line. However for the purposes of tests with the L1210 cell line in testing the compounds of the invention for antitumor
activity, a log greater, i.e. 106 cells were utilized.
Table 1 demonstrates the results of inoculating mice with 106 L1210 seed cells and the spread of this tumor cell line throughout the body to multiple organ systems in the test species. As is indicative of Table 1, at day 7 the L1210 cellular population in multiple organ systems greatly exceeded 105 cells in each of the organs assayed. It is thus evident from Table 1 that if a chemotherapeutic agent is to be effective against the L1210 tumor line seeded at 106 it must reach all of the organ systems of the animal in view of spread of this neoplastic disease to all these organ systems.

Mice were inoculated intraperitoneally on day 0 with a million cells of murine leukemia L1210. Drugs were given qd days 1, 3, 5 and 7. Increased life span is presented as a percentage of the mean life span of control mice.
THERAPEUTIC EXAMPLE E
Further elucidation of the dose response of Compound 19 is shown in Table 5. A dose of 288 mg per kg represents the maximum solubility of Compound 19 in water which was utilized as the drug vehicle for this test. As is evident from Table 5, Compound 19 shows an excellent dose response curve when delivered only once on day 1 with significant activity indicated at or above 37 mg per kg.

THERAPEUTIC EXAMPLE F
In Example F Compound 19 and other known cancer chemotherapeutic agents were bioassayed for activity against neoplastic cells in the brain utilizing the L1210 cell line injected intracranially into test animals. In Table 6-a Compound 19 is compared to a control and in Table 6-b Compound 19 is compared to other known cancer chemotherapeutic agents. As is evident from Table 6-a there is a significant reduction in the number of neoplastic cells in the brain of the test animal after i.p. infection with Compound 19 This is indicative of both activity of Compound 19 and the ability of Compound 19 to cross the blood brain barrier. As is indicative of Table 6-b, Compound 19 shows an excellent therapeutic effect when compared to known chemotherapeutic agents evaluated by this test procedure. Only three known chemotherapeutic agents out of the seven tested showed results approximately equal to or better than those for Compound 19.
TABLE 6-a
BIOASSAY OF L1210-INOCULATED BRAINS
BDF1 mice were inoculated intracranially on day 0 with 1×105 L1210 cells. 24 hr later, on day 1, the mice were injected ip with Compound 19 or 0.9% NaCl. 24 hr after drug delivery the brains were collected, homogenized, and injected ip into untreated mice. Each mouse received the equivalent of half a brain. Thereafter, life span was monitored and, using inoculum-response data as a base of comparison, estimates were made of the numbers of viable cells in treated and control brains.

In Examples G through K Compound 19 was tested against L1210 cell lines which had developed resistance to other known cancer chemotherapeutic agents. Depending upon the resistant cell line which was being tested and the mode of administration and/or treatment regimen, Compound 19 showed activity against various cell lines which are resistant to other known chemotherapeutic agents.
THERAPEUTIC EXAMPLE G
In Example G Compound 19 was tested against both L1210 cells and L1210 cells which were resistant to 6-Mercaptopurine, 6-Thioguanine and 6-Thioguanosine. As is evident from the different drug regimens shown, Compound 19 exhibited activity against the drug resistant cells. As was noted above, drugs in the 6-Mercaptopurine family are presently among the drugs of choice for treatment of leukemia. It is thus evident from Table 7-a that Compound 19 is active against cells which have become resistant to these drugs.

THERAPEUTIC EXAMPLE H
In Example H, the results of which are shown in Table 8, Cytosine Arabinoside resistant L1210 cells were treated with Compound 19. As is evident from Table 8, Compound 19 showed greater efficacy against this resistant cell line than it did to the parent non-drug resistant L1210 cells. This is indicative of 'collateral activity' of compounds of the invention against resistant cells.

Compound 19 has not been found to generate resistant cell lines as per the other known cancer chemotherapeutic agents listed in Tables 7 through 10 above. However, Compound 18 does generate drug resistant cell lines.
THERAPEUTIC EXAMPLE K
In Example K, the results of which are shown in Table 11 below. Compound 19 was tested against drug resistant cell lines developed against Compound 18. As is evident from the results shown in Table 11, Compound 19 differs from Compound 18 only by the state of oxidation between the sulfenamide of Compound 18 and the sulfinamide of Compound 19. As is evident from Table 11 Compound 19 is effective against those L1210 cell lines which have developed resistance against Compound 18. Thus, while Compound 18 may mimic 6-Thioguanosine in that it generates drug resistant cells, the mode of action of Compound 19 is believed to be completely different as is expressed by its activity seen in Example G against 6-Thioguanosine resistant cell lines and its activity in Example K against Compound 18. resistant cell lines.

THERAPEUTIC EXAMPLE T
As an example of activity among the different members of the oxidation series represented by sulfenamides, sulfinamides and sulfonamides comparison of activity of Compounds 18, 19, and 20 is shown in Table 19-a and is summarized in Table 19-b. As is evident from the summaries in Table 19-b, Compounds 18 and 19 effectively cross the blood brain barrier and thus are active intracranially whereas at the high oxidation state of Compound 20 no intracranial activity is seen. Oral activity is seen for both Compounds 18 and 19 but not present in Compound 20. Contrasted to this is activity against resistant cells wherein Compounds 19 and 20 are active but Compound 18 in fact shows no activity. As was shown in Example K, Table 11 above, Compound 19 in fact was active against cells which developed resistance to Compound 18.

Compound 19 exists as two enantiomers. The above test results for Compound 19 were done on the racemic mixture of these enantiomers. Further, separation of these enantiomers to a high degree of (but not absolute) purity has been effected. The separate enantiomers have been independently tested and further tested as contrived mixtures of known amounts of the enantiomers. Of the two purified enantiomers, enantiomer B shows a higher solubility than enantiomer A and the racemic mixture exhibits solubility characteristics of enantiomer B exhibiting solubility at about 17.3 mg per ml . In contrast to this enantiomer A exhibits solubility of about 3.7 mg per ml. The two enantiomers present comparable activity, however, because of the solubility of enantiomer A is less than enantiomer B, tests with enantiomer A have been done at a much lower dosage level.
THERAPEUTIC EXAMPLE U
In this example the enantiomers of Compound 19 labeled enantiomer A and enantiomer B were tested independent of one another. The results of these tests are indicated utilizing two different protocols as are shown in Tables 20-a and 20-b.

As shown, all injections were made on day 1. For mice treated more than once, treatment was completed within 20 minutes. Enantiomer A was 95.87% A and 1.71% B: thus, these two enantiomers comprised 97.58% of the material delivered. The A:B ratio was 95.87:1.71. There were 3 mice in each treatment group.
THERAPEUTIC EXAMPLE W
In this example, concocted mixtures of enantiomers A and B were made. In addition, these mixtures were contaminated with small amount of contaminants comprising Guanosine and Compound 2 0. As is indicative from the results shown in Table 22, activity does not reside with only one or the other of the two enantiomers but is apparently optimized in mixtures of the enantiomers. It is presently believed a 50/50 mixture of the enantiomers of compound 19. is suggested for use in antitumor compositions of this compound.
