Background Art Well proven plant regulator}' compounds are phytohormones. An important place among them have cytokinins. Structurally, all naturally occurring cytokinins belong to the homogenous group of N6-substituted adenine derivatives, playing an 20 important role in many different developmental processes, including cell division, growth and differentiation, as well as flower and fruit development. They can break seed dormancy, inhibit apical dominance and stimulate the growth of side shoots, delay the cell ageing, increase stress resistance, affect cell membrane permeability and cause accumulation of various metabolites in the site of their application 25 (Letham a Palni 1983 - Arm. Rev. Plant. Physiol. 34: 163-197, 1983, Mok, D.W.S., Mok, M.C.: Cytokinins: Chemistry, Activity and Function. CRC Press. Boca Raton, London, Tokyo 1994).
Their interaction with auxins is especially important in stimulation of cell division and regulation of cell differentiation in plant tissue cultures (Skoog, Miller 30 1957). The general definition of cytokinins as group of plant growth regulators is also based on this effect (Skoog, F., Armstrong, D.J.: Cytokinins. - Ann. Rev. Plant Physiol. 21: 359-384, 1970). 6-benzylaminopurin (BAP), together with kinetin. is 0 usually used as an active cytokinin for plant in vitro cultures. This compound was for long time thought to be purely synthetic, however, its natural occurrence in plants was recently proved. There are usually refereed as a cytokinins also a compounds having limited or none biological activity (7- and 9-glucosides. amino acid 5 conjugates, some hyper modified cytokinins in tRNA). From this reason, compounds structurally derived from N6-substituted adenine are refereed as cytokinins also in this application.
Since all living organisms on the Earth have been evolutionary developing together for many millions of years, the presence of regulatory interactions of plant compounds, as cytokinins are, in animals and human can be assumed. Cytokinin-derived compounds probably affect many different molecular mechanisms in animal and human cells. We recently discovered, that novel generations of antiinflammatory. anticancer, immunosuppressive, antiviral and other drugs could be based on N6-substituted purines and their derivatives.
The aim of this invention to provide anticancer, immunosuppressive, growth- regulatory, morphogenetically active and antisenescence heterocyclic compounds having improved selectivity and efficiency index, i.e. that are less toxic yet more efficacious than analogues known heretofore.

Emulsifiers are surface-active substances with predominantly hydrophilic properties, such as corresponding non-ionic emulsifiers, for example fatty acid esters of polyalcohols or ethyleneoxy adducts thereof, such as polvglyceric acid fatty acid esters or polyethylene sorbitan fatty esters (Tweens). and furthermore polyoxyethylene fatty alcohol ethers or 10 polyoxyethylene fatty acid esters, or corresponding ionic emulsifiers, such as alkali metal salts of fatty alcohol sulphates, for example sodium lauryl sulphate, sodium cetyl sulphate or sodium stearyl sulphate, which are usually used in the presence of fatty alcohols, for example cetyl stearyl alcohol or stearyl alcohol. Additives to the aqueous phase are, inter alia, agents which prevent the creams from drying out for 15 example polyalcohols, such as glycerol, sorbitol, propylene glycol and/or polyethylene glycols, and furthermore preservatives and odoriferous substances.
Pastes are creams and ointments having secretion-absorbing powder constituents, such as metal oxides, for example titanium oxide or zinc oxide, and furthermore talc and/or aluminium silicates, which have the task of binding the 20 moisture or secretions present.
Foams are administered from pressurised containers and they are liquid oil-in-water emulsions present in aerosol foam. As the propellant gases halogenated hydrocarbons, such as polvhalogenated alkanes, for example dichlorofluoromethane and dichlorotetrafluoroethane, or, preferably, non-halogenated gaseous hydrocarbons 25 air, N2O, or carbon dioxide are used. The oily phases used are, inter alia, those mentioned above for ointments and creams, and the additives mentioned there are likewise used.
Tinctures and solutions usually comprise an aqueous-ethanolic base to which, humectants for reducing evaporation, such as polyalcohols, for example glycerol, 30 glycols and/or polyethylene glycol, and re-oiling substances, such as fatty acid esters with lower polyethylene glycols, i.e. lipophilic substances soluble in the aqueous 24 mixture to substitute the fatty substances removed from the skin with ethanol, and, if necessary, other excipients and additives, are admixed.
The present invention further provides veterinary compositions comprising at least one active ingredient as above defined together with a veterinary carrier 5 therefor. Veterinary carriers are materials for administering the composition and may be solid, liquid or gaseous materials, which are inert or acceptable in the veterinary art and are compatible with the active ingredient. These veterinary compositions may be administered orally, parenterally or by any other desired route.
The invention also relates to a process or method for treatment of the disease 10 states mentioned above. The compounds can be administered prophvlactically or therapeutically as such or in the form of pharmaceutical compositions, preferably in an amount, which is effective against the diseases mentioned. With a warm-blooded animal, for example a human, requiring such treatment, the compounds are used, in particular, in the form of pharmaceutical composition. A daily dose of about 0.1 to 15 about 5 g, preferably 0.5 g to about 2 g, of a compound of the present invention is administered here for a body weight of about 70 kg.

For example, a microtiter assay, which uses the Calcein AM. is now widely used to quantitate cell proliferation and cytotoxicity. For instance, this assay is used in drug screening programs and in 10 chemosensitivity testing. Because only metabolically active cells cleave Calcein AM. these assays detect viable cells exclusively. The quantity of reduced Calcein AM corresponds to the number of vital cells in the culture.
Human T-lymphoblastic leukemia cell line CEM; promyelocvtic HL-60 and monocytic U937 leukemias; breast carcinoma cell lines MCF-7, BT549, 15 MDA-MB-231; glioblastoma U87MG cells; cervical carcinoma cells HELA; sarcoma cells U20S and Saos2; hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2; mouse fibroblasts NIH3T3; mouse immortalized bone marrow macrophages B2.4 and B10A.4; P388D1 and L1210 leukemia; B16 and B16F10 melanomas were used for routine screening of compounds. The cells were maintained in 20 Nunc/Corning 80 cm2 plastic tissue culture flasks and cultured in cell culture medium (DMEM with 5 g/1 glucose, 2mM glutamine, 100 U/ml penicillin. 100 ug/ml streptomycin, 10% fetal calf serum and sodium bicarbonate).
The cell suspensions that were prepared and diluted according to the particular cell type and the expected target cell density (2.500-30.000 cells per 25 well based on cell growth characteristics) were added by pipette (80iil) into 96/well microtiter plates. Inoculates were allowed a pre-incubation period of 24 hours at 37°C and 5% CO2 for stabilisation. Four-fold dilutions of the intended test concentration were added at time zero in 20 jaI aliquots to the microtiter plate wells. Usually, test compound was evaluated at six 4-fold dilutions. In routine testing, the highest well concentration was 266.7 |iM. but it can be the matter of change dependent on the agent. All drug concentrations were examined in duplicates. Incubations of cells with the test compounds lasted for 72 hours at 37 °C, in 5% CO: atmosphere and 100% humidity. At the 5 end of incubation period, the cells were assayed by using the Calcein AM. Ten microliters of the stock solution were pipetted into each w?ell and incubated further for 1 hours. Fluorescence (FD) was measured with the Labsystem F1A Reader Fluoroscan Ascent (UK). The tumour cell survival (GI50) was calculated using the following equitation: TCS=(FDdrUg exposed well / mean 10 FDCOntroi weiis) x 100%. The Glso value, the drug concentration lethal to 50% of the tumour cells, was calculated from the obtained dose response curves (Fig.
D- Cytoxicity of novel compounds was tested on panel of cell lines of different histogenetic and species origin (Table 3). We show here that equal 15 activities were found in all tumour cell lines tested, howrever, the non-malignant cells, e.g. NIH3T3 fibroblasts and normal human lymphocytes, were resistant to synthetic inhibitors induced cytotoxicity. As demonstrated in Table 3, GIjo for NIH3T3 fibroblasts and normal human lymphocytes was always higher than 250 [iM. Effective novel derivatives killed tumour cells in 20 concentrations close to 10-50 piM.

To analyse the mechanisms of induced cytotoxicity by the novel compounds, it is important to distinguish apoptosis from the other major form of cell death, necrosis. First, at the tissue level, apoptosis produces little or no inflammEtion. since 10 the neighbouring cells, especially macrophages, rather than being released into the extracellular fluid, engulf shrunken portions of the cell. In contrast, in necrosis, cellular contents are released into the extracellular fluid, and thus have an irritant affect on the nearby cells, causing inflammation. Second, at the cellular level, apoptotic cells exhibit shrinkage and blebbing of the cytoplasm, preservation of 15 structure of cellular organelles including the mitochondria, condensation and margination of chromatin, fragmentation of nuclei, and formation of apoptotic bodies, thought not all of these are seen in all cell types. Third, at the molecular level, a number of biochemical processes take an important role in induction of apoptosis. However, majority of them is not well understood, and they result in 20 activation of proteases and nucleases, which finally destruct key biological macromolecules - proteins and DNA.
For detection of apoptotic versus necrotic mode of cell death, two independent methods were employed: assessment of morphology by electron microscopy and analysis of DNA fragmentation by flow-cytometry.
HL-60 cell line was cultured in 6-well culture plates with or without 70 uM concentration of novel derivatives at 37 °C and 5% CO: for 3-24 hours. Following the incubation, cells were pelleted, washed in Hank's buffered salt solution and processed as described below-.
Cells were suspended in 2% glutaraldehyde/PBS, fixed overnight at 4°C. pelleted and embedded into 1% agar (Agar Noble, Difco) thereafter. Agar blocks containing fixed cells were epoxyde polymerised, ultrathin sectioned, osmium tetraoxyde postfixed, uranium acetate contrasted and examined under electron microscope.
Initial phase contrast microscopy examinations indicated that treated HL-60 line exhibit typical morphological features of apoptotic cells, and it was later confirmed by electron microscopy (Figure 2 and 3). Typical morphological criteria of apoptosis were identified in cells treated with all novel derivatives tested: chromatin condensation, nuclear fragmentation, cvtoplasmatic blebbing, and 15 formation of apoptotic bodies.
Example 5 Immunosuppressive activity 20 One of the most important parameters of specific cellular immunity is proliferative response of lymphocytes to antigens or polyclonal mitogens. The majority of normal mammalian peripheral lymphocytes comprise resting cells. Antigens or nonspecific polyclonal mitogens have the capacity to activate lymphoid cells and this is accompanied by dramatic changes of intracellular 25 metabolism (mitochondrial activity, protein synthesis, nucleic acids synthesis, formation of blastic cells and cellular proliferation). Compounds with ability to selectively inhibit lymphocyte proliferation are potent immunosuppressants. Variety of in vitro assays was developed to measure proliferative response of lymphocytes. The most commonly used is "H-thymidine incorporation method. 30 During cell proliferation, DNA has to be replicated before the cell is divided into two daughter cells. This close association between cell doublings and DNA synthesis is very attractive for assessing cell proliferation. If labelled DNA precursors are added to the cell culture, cells that are about to divide incorporate the labelled nucleotide into their DNA. Traditionally, those assays usually involve the use of radiolabeled nucleosides, particularly tritiated thymidine (|/'H]-TdR). The amount of [3H]-TdR incorporated into the cellular 5 DNA is quantified by liquid scintillation counting.
Human heparinized peripheral blood was obtained from healthy volunteers by cubital vein punction. The blood was diluted in PBS (1:3) and mononuclear cells were separated by centrifugation in Ficoll-Hypaque density gradient (Pharmacia, 1.077 g/ml) at 2200 rpm for 30 minutes. Following 10 centrifugation. lymphocytes were washed in PBS and resuspended in cell culture medium (RMPI 1640, 2mM glutamine, 100 U/ml penicillin, 100 pig/ml streptomycin, 10% fetal calf serum and sodium bicarbonate).
The cells were diluted at target density of 1.100.000 cells/ml were added by pipette (180 pil) into 96/well microtiter plates. Four-fold dilutions of 15 the intended test concentration were added at time zero in 20 |il aliquots to the microtiter plate wells. Usually, test compound was evaluated at six 4-fold dilutions. In routine testing, the highest well concentration was 266.7 [iM. All drug concentrations wrere examined in duplicates. All wells with exception of unstimulated controls were activated with 50 ul of concanavalin A (25 [ig/ml). 20 Incubations of cells with test compounds lasted for 72 hours at 37 °C. in 5% CO2 atmosphere and 100% humidity. At the end of incubation period, the cells were assayed by using the [3H]-TdR: Cell cultures were incubated with 0.5 uCi (20 [il of stock solution 500 [ACi/ml) per well for 6 hours at 37 °C and 5% CO2. The automated cell 25 harvester was used to lyse cells in water and adsorb the DNA onto glass-fiber filters in the format of microtiter plate. The DNA incorporated [JH]-TdR was retained on the filter while unincorporated material passes through. The filters were dried at room temperature overnight, sealed into a sample bag with 10-12 ml of scintillant. The amount of [JH]-TdR present in each filter (in cpm) was 30 determined by scintillation counting in a Betaplate liquid scintillation counter. The effective dose of immunosuppressant (ED) was calculated using the following equation: ED = (CCPMjrug exposed wen / mean CCPMcontroi weiis) x 100%.
The ED50 value, the drug concentration inhibiting proliferation of 50% of lymphocytes, was calculated from the obtained dose response curves.
To evaluate immunosuppressive activity of substituted adenines, their ability to inhibit polyclonal mitogen induced proliferation of normal human 5 lymphocytes was analyzed (Tab. 13). Our data demonstrate that these compounds have only marginal activity on 3H-thymidine incorporation, nonetheless, they efficiently inhibit proliferation of activated lymphocytes. Effective immunosuppressive dose of new derivatives under in vitro conditions was close to 1-20 ^iM.

The medium used for cell cultivation was removed, the cells were washed twice in PNS. and fixed in 2-3 ml of fixing solution comprised of a 2% 10 formaldehyde and 0.2% glutaraldehyde in PBS. The cells were incubated at room temperature for 5 minutes, then washed twice with PBS. The cells were subsequently incubated at 37°C (without CO2) for 1 to 16 hours in 2-3 ml of a solution comprising potassium ferricyanide (5 mM). potassium ferrocyanide (5 mM). MgCN (2 mM), X-gal (5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-|3-D-15 galactopyranoside) (1 mg/ml), in citric/phosphate buffer. pH 6.0) Following this incubation period, the cell samples were observed in order to detect the presence of blue cells, indicating that X-gal had been cleaved (positively senescent cells). In this experiment, senescent cells, but not other cells were stained blue due to the action of (3-galactosidase on the substrate (Fig. 4).

In the case of long standing cultivation the treated cells were able to live 30% longer period than the control cells.
Example 7 Senescence Inhibition by Novel Compounds tested on winter wheat leaf segments Seeds of winter wheat, Triticum aestiviim cv. Hereward, were washed under running water for 24 hours and then sown on vermiculite soaked with Knop's solution. They were placed in the grown chamber at 25°C with a 16/8 h light period at 50 nmol.m"2.s"'. After 7 days, the first leaf was fully developed and the second leaf 15 had started to grow. A tip section of the first leaf, approximately 35 mm long, was removed from 5 seedlings and trimmed slightly to a combined weight of 100 mg. The basal ends of the five leaf tips were placed in the wells of a microtiter polystyrene plate containing 150[il of a cytokinin solution each. The entire plate was inserted into a plastic box lined with paper tissues soaked in distilled water to prevent 20 leaf sections from drying out. After a 96 h incubation in the dark at 25°C, the leaves were removed and chlorophyll extracted by heating at 80°C for 10 min in 5 ml of 80% ethanol (v/v). The sample volume was then restored to 5 ml by the addition of 80%) ethanol (v/v). The absorbency of the extract was recorded at 665 nm. In addition, chlorophyll extracts from fresh leaves and leaf tips incubated in deionised 25 water were measured. From the obtained data, the concentration with highest activity was selected for each compound tested. Relative activity of the compound at this * 4 concentration was calculated (Tab. 6). The activity obtained for 10" M 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) was postulated as 100%. The values shown are means of five replicates and the whole experiment was repeated twice. The cytokinins to be 30 tested were dissolved in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and the solution brought up to 10°M with distilled water. This stock was further diluted in distilled water to concentrations ranging from 10~8M to lO^M. The final concentration of DMSO did not exceed 0.2% and therefore did not affect biological activity in the assay system used.

The aim of this experiment was to test whether the new compounds are of practical use in tissue culture practice. The multiplication rate was investigated and the post vitro effects on rooting were examined. Rosa hybrida (pot rose cultivar) was cultured in 350 ml vessels with a screw on polycarbonate lid. Each culture vessel contained 100 ml autoclaved medium (120 °C, 20 min). The cultures were maintained at 23±2 °C under a 16 h photoperiod at 40 fxM m~2 s"1 PAR. The basal medium (BMR) contained Murashige and Skoog (1962) macroelements, microelements and vitamins, 95 |iM NaFeEDTA. 555 ^M myo-inositol. 111 mM sucrose, 1.332 mM glycine, 684 |aM L-glutamine and 7g/l agar. This medium was supplemented with 10 |aM BA, mT, oMeOBAP or mMeOBAP (compound no. 14 and 15, respectively).The control medium didn't contain any cytokinin. After a culture period of 8 weeks, the number of induced shoots per explant was determined, as well as root number/explant and total root length/explant. The roots were removed and the explants (shoot clusters) were planted in unfertilised peat. After four weeks of acclimatising in a fog unit, root number and root length was determined.
As expected, a cytokinin free medium yielded almost no new shoots. The original shoot explant grew out as a good quality single shoot that rooted very well. BAP gave a high shoot multiplication rate, but the shoots rooted badly. The new BAP derivatives tested, induced formation of new shoots and rooting significantly better, when compared with BAP itself (Tab. 9).

Tissue cultured roses suffer from senescence symptoms. The leafs start to turn brown and after some weeks all explants in a vessel die off. The symptoms start earlier when the aeration of the vessel is inhibited, for instance by a plastic foil. This 10 suggests that ethylene our other gaseous components are involved. The cytokinins which are applied to the medium, induce ethylene, so it looked worthwhile to test the promising new cytokinin compounds on this system.
Rosa hybrida Tailin" (a cut rose) was cultured in 350 ml vessels with a screw on polycarbonate lid. Each culture vessel contained 100 ml autoclaved medium (120 15 °C, 20 min). The cultures were maintained at 23±2 °C under a 16 h photoperiod at 40 |iM m~2 s"1 PAR. The basal medium (BMR) contained Murashige and Skoog (1962) macroelements, microelements and vitamins, 36.7 mg/1 NaFeEDTA, 50 mg/1 NaFeEDDHA, 100 mg/1 [iM myo-inositol, 30 g/1 sucrose, 100 mg/1 glycine, 50 mg/1 calcium pantothenate, 100 mg/1 L-glutamine and 7 g/1 agar-agar. This medium was 20 supplemented w-ith 10 BA. mT and mMeOBAP. The last 2 cytokinins were filter sterilised and added after autoclaving the medium in the vessels. The control medium didn't contain any cytokinin. After a culture period of 6 weeks, scoring senescence symptoms was started. The day on which the first brown leaf appeared was noted for each plant (Fig. 8), as well as the day of complete dying of the whole explant (Fig.9, 25 10).
On medium with BA. the relative number of dead plants looks like a sigmoid curve, suggesting an autocatalytic senescence effect, maybe caused by ethylene. It would be interesting to measure the ethylene concentration in the headspace. On mT and mMeOBAP the situation improved. mMeOBAP was definitely the best 30 compound. Even after 121 days almost all plants were still alive. Although some 46 brown leaves could not be avoided on a medium with mMeOBAP, these plants could be easily used for a next subculture. The use of mMeOBAP is a significant improvement in the micropropagation of roses (Rosa hybrida).
