Numerous anthracyclines exhibit cytostatic activity, and
some are used for the therapy of tumors.
Known compounds are S-rhodomycins (structures of the
formula I where R1=H) in which position 7 and position
10 are linked a-glycosidically with L-rhodosamine or in
which only position 7 is linked a-glycosidically with L-
rhodosamine or L-daunosamine, and s-iso-rhodomycins
(structures of the formula I where R1=OH) in which posi-
tion 7 and 10 are each linked with a-L-rhodosamine, and
the photolytic mono-demethylation products of these L-
rhodosamine glycosides and s-rhodomycinone with oligo-
saccharide side chains on positions 7 or 10 or on 7 and
10, which are called cytorhodins. The microbial glyco-
sidation of a trisaccharide consisting of L-rhodosamine,
L-deoxyfucose and cinerulose A on the 7-position of the
S-rhodomycinone is kno~n from Journal of Antibiotics 33,
1331 ( 1980 > .

No chemical glycosidation process for S-rhodomycinone or
s-iso-rhodomycinone has as yet been described. Because
of the many glycosidation possibilities of the three hy-
droxyl groups in the A ring of the S-rhodomycinone (struc-
ture of the for~ula I where R~=R2=R3=R4=H), selective
glycosidations are incomparably more difficult.
Surprisingly, it has been found that S-rhodomycinone and
S-iso-rhodomycinone can be glycosidated selectively using
certain protective groups on positions 7, 9 and 10 and
the glycosides thus obtained, in particular 7-0-a-L-
acosaeinyl-B-rhodomycinone or 7-0-(3'-N,N-dimethyl-a-L-
acosa~ninyl)-B-rhodomycinone have a cytostatic activity
comparable to that of adriamycin.
The present invention is therefore based on the object
of preparing, starting from the B-(iso-)rhodomycinones
obtainable biologically, novel mono-, bis- and tris-
glycosyl-B-(iso-)rhodoaycinones which are distinguished
by cytostatic activity and are therefore suitable for the
treateent of tumors.
This object has been achieved by preparation of compounds

given there for R~ to Rs and X and the exceptions
given.

~rhich, following selective splitting off of the protec-
tive groups on position 7 and 9, either only position 7

radicals can be deblocked and modified, or, after intro-
duction of an acyl group or trimethylsilyt group at posi-
tion 10 and subsequent selective deblocking at positions 7
and 9, first glycosidating the compound at position 7 or

priate modifying it on the amino functions, and only then

cells from mice. Colony formation of L1210 leukemia
cells on agar plates was used for this. This method is
used to demonstrate the influence of the test substances
on the growth behavior of the cells folloring incubation
for 1 hour or over several generations. At a cell cycle

time of 10-12 hours, about 14 successive generations are
thereby observed over the test period of 7 days. In this
test, the cytostatic substances according to the inven-
tion effect a reduction of the number of colonies to be
observed in comparison with an untreated control sample.
Details of the test method are to be found from the fol-
lowing procedure for the determination of colony formation.
Procedure for determination of colony formation of L1210
leukemia cells in soft agar
500 leukemia cells per plate were incubated with differ-
ent concentrations of the test substance at 37°C for 1
hour. The cells were then washed twice with McCoySA
medium and finally poured into Petri dishes, after addi-
tion of 0.3X agar. Controls were incubated only with
fresh medium. Instead of incubation for one hour, in
some cases different concentrations and test substances
were admixed to the upper agar layer in order thus to
achieve continuous exposure of the cells over the entire
incubation period. After the agar had solidified, the
plates were incubated in an incubating cabinet at 37°C
for 7 days (SX by volume of C02, 95X relative atmospheric
humidity). The number of colonies formed with a diameter
of more than 60 um was then counted. The results were
stated as the number of colonies in the treated agar
plates as a percentage of the untreated control. The
IC50 was determined from the resulting dose-effect
curve as a measure of the activity of the substance. The
results for the compounds described here are summarized
in comparison with adriamycin in the following Table 1.

by means of 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopy, incorporating
two-dimensional NMR methods and other mufti-pulsed tech-
piques, as well as MS and IR spectroscopy. The course of
