Platinum complex compounds of substituted 5,8-dihydroxyl-1,4-naphthoquinone, and process for their production and use
Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to platinum complexes of the following general formula: ##STR1## wherein R 1 and R 2 represent alkyl radicals with 1 to 18 carbon atoms, or R 1 or R 2 represent a hydrogen atom and R 2 or R 1 can represent an alkyl radical or a ##STR2## in which R 3 is a hydrogen atom or the ##STR3## radical or an acyl radical, and x=1 or 2. These compounds can be produced by reaction of an alcohol solution of a 5,8-dihydroxyl-1,4-naphthoquinone of the following formula: ##STR4## in which the substituents R 1 and R 2 have the aforementioned meanings, in the presence of a concentrated aqueous ammonia solution, which adjusts the pH over 7, with K 2 PtCl 4 at room temperature. These platinum complex compounds are characterized by a good antitumor effect with low toxicity.
