Abstract

New co-ordination complexes of rhodium for the treatment of cancer have the formula Rh(NH3)3(X<1>)a(X<2>)b in which X<1> is a carboxylate monodentate or bidentate ligand, X<2> is a halogen or pseudohalogen, a has the value 1 or 2 and b has the value 1, 2 or 3, such that a + b = 3.

Description

SPECIFICATION Compositions containing rhodium This invention relates to co-ordination compounds of rhodium, to pharmaceutical compositions containing them and to their use in the treatment of malignant tumours or malignant neoplasms.
According to a first aspect of the invention, a composition of matter comprises a co-ordination compound of rhodium having the formula Rh(NH3)3(X')a(X2)b in which X1 is a carboxylate monodentate or bidentate ligand, X2 is a halogen or pseudohalogen (as hereinafter defined), a is the number of bonding carboxyl groups and is an integer having the value 1 or 2 or can be equal to zero and b is an integer having the value 1,2 or 3, such that a + b = 3.
When X1 represents a monodentate carboxylate ligand, or when two of such ligands, either the same or different, are present, X1 may be selected from substituted and unsubstituted straight-chain alkyl or alkenyl carboxylates, cycloalkyl or cycloalkenyl carboxylates and aryl carboxylates.
When X1 represents a bidentate carboxylate ligand, it may be selected from substituted and unsubstituted straight-chain alkyl or alkenyl dicar boxylates, cycloalkyl or cycloalkenyl dicarboxylates and aryl dicarboxylates.
Substituent groups may be selected from straightor branched- chain alkyl, aryl, alkaryl, alkenyl, aralkyl, cyclo alkyl and cyclo alkenyl, halogen, pseudohalogen (as hereinafter defined), hydroxy, carbonyl, nitro, amido, amino, alkoxy, aryloxy, carboxylic acids and salts thereof, sulphonic acid and sulphonic acid salts, oxygen and sulphur.
Preferably the substituent groups are solubilizing groups such as hydroxy, methoxy and carboxylate which may itself be substituted or unsubstituted.
Suitable monodentate carboxylate ligands include acetate, chloroacetate, bromoacetate, 3 hydroxypropionate, cis- or trans- cinnamate, and benzoate.
A suitable dicarboxylate ligand is the bidentate malonate ligand which may be substituted or unsubstituted. The malonate ligand may contain substituents selected from the group consisting of lower alkyl, (e.g. methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, nbutyl); aryl, (e.g. phenyl, lower alkyl-, lower alkenyl-, halo-, nitro-, lower alkoxy-su bstituted phenyl and naphthyl); aralkyl, (e.g. phenylmethyl (benzyl), 2-(1naphthyl)methyl); alkenyl, (e.g. 4-amino-1-butene, allyl); cyclo-alkyl, (e.g. cyclopropyl, cyclohexyl); cyclo-alkenyl, (e.g. 2-cyclo-penten-1-yl), 2-cyclohexen-1 - yl); alkoxy, (e.g. methoxy, ethoxy), and hydroxy.
Also suitable are the 1,1-cyclo-alkanedicarboxylic acids, (e.g. 1,1-cyclo-propanedicarboxylicacid, 1,1cyclobutanedicarboxylic acid) and the 1,1-cycloalkenyldicarboxylic acids, (e.g. 1,1 -cyclo-propeno- dicarboxylic acid, 1,1 -cyclobutenedicarboxylic acid).
Other suitable dicarboxylate ligands are the succinato, glutarato (pentanedioato), adipato (hexanedioato), pimelato (heptane-dioato), malato (cisbutenedioato) and phthalato (obenzenedicarboxylate) ligands and these may be either substituted or unsubstituted.
The term "pseudohalogen" in this specification has the meaning given on p.560 of "Advanced Inorganic Chemistry" by Cotton and Wilkinson, Interscience Publishers, 1966, as being "a molecule consisting of more than two electronegative atoms which, in the free state, resembles the halogens; these pseudohalogens give rise to anions which resemble the halide ions in behaviour". Examples of suitable pseudohalogens are cyanide, cyanate, thiocyanate and azide.
We have found that compounds of the present invention are active against cancer, or malignant tumours or malignant neoplasms. Normally the compound is used in association with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier therefor. Accordingly, in a second aspect, the present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition which comprises a compound according to the first aspect of the invention and a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier for said compound; these compositions can be formulated so as to be suitable, for example, for parenteral or oral administration to animals affected with a malignant tumour or neoplasm.
Example One compound according to the invention, namely rhodium triammine tris-cinnamate, was prepared by reacting Rh(NH3)3CI3 with AgNO3 to yield the corresponding tris-aquo species which was further reacted with cinnamic acid to yield the desired product. The therapeutic index (i.e. LD50/lD50 when tested against ADJ/PC6 tumour was 2.6.
