wherein R is hydrogen or lower alkyl and Rl is a nitrogen containing heterocyclic radical selected from the group consisting o~ amino substituted triazolyl, lower alkyl substituted isothiazolyl, benzothiazolyl, and nitro and halo substituted derivatives of benzo- 0 thiazolyl, or Rl is a substituted lower alkyl radical selected from the group consisting of amino lowex alkyl, lower alkylamino lower alkyl, hydroxy lower alkylamlno lower alkyl, hydroxy lower alkoxy lower alkyl, imidazolyl 35 lower alkyl, nitro substituted imidazolyl lower alkyl, ~2~

nitro substituted pyridylamino lower alkyl, and piperazinyl lower alkyl.
Also provided according to the invention are novel methods for treatment of neoplastic disease states in animals, which methods comprise administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the formula, IIIa, ~ / ~ ~--CH20CNH2 l ~ CH3 H3 ~ ~ ~ IIIa wherein: Y is hydrogen or lower alkyl; and Z
is an hydroxy substituted l-pyrrolidinyl radical, or a lower alkyl substituted piperidyl radical, or an acetamino, acetyl, carbamido, cyano, carboxy lower alkylamino, di-lower alkoxy, nitro, sulfamyl, or lower alkyl substituted anilino radical, or R
a radical of the formula, -N-Rl wherein R is hydrogen or lower alkyl and Rl is a n.itrogen containing heterocyclic radical selected ~rom the group consisting of amino substituted triazolyl, lower alkyl substituted isothiazolyl, benzothiazolyl, and nitro and halo substituted derivatives of benzo-thiazolyl, or Rl is a substituted lower alkyl radical selected from the group consisting of amino lower al]cyl, lower ~2~

Unless otherwise indicated, the term "lower", applied to "alkyl" radicals shall designate such straight or branched chain radicals as to include from one to six carbon atoms. By way of illustration, "lower alkyl" shall mean and include methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl and hexyl radicals as well as isopropyl radicals, t-butyl radicals and the like. Similarly, "lower" as applied to "alkoxy" shall designate a radical having one to six carbon atoms.
It will be apparent that the compounds of formula III are all comprehended by the specifications of formula IIIa. Put another way, all the novel anti-biotic mitomycin derivatives of formula III are useful in practice of the novel antineoplastic therapeutic ~0 methods which involve administration of compounds of formula IIIa.
Mitomycin derivatives of the invention are prepared by the reaction of mitomycin A with the appropriately selected amine compounds. The N-alkyl-~5 mitomycin (e.g., N-methylmitomycin) derivatives are similarly prepared by the reaction of a selected amine with N-alkylmitomycin h prepared from mitomycin C, e.g., according to the methods generally disclosed in Cheng, et al., J.Med.Chem., 20, No. 6, 767-770 (1977). The preparative reactions generally yield the desired product as a crystalline solid which is readily soluble in alcohol.
Therapeutic methods of the invention compre-hend the administration of effective amounts of one or more of the compounds of formula IIIa, as an active ingredient, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

While none of the foregoing examples are illustrative of compounds wherein Y is other than hydrogen, compounds wherein Y .is lower alkyl are nonetheless within the comprehension of the invention, reference being made to analogously substituted compounds of my aforesaid U~S. Patent No. 4,268,676 and U.S. Patent Nos. 4,460,599 and 4,617,389.
Compounds according to the present invention are believed to possess anti-bacterial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms in a manner similar to that observed for the naturally occurring mitomycins and are thus potentially useful as therapeutic agents in treating bacterial infections in humans and animals.
Usefulness of compounds of formula IIIa in the antineoplastic therapeutic methods of the invention is demonstrated by the results of in vivo screening procedures wherein the compounds are administered in varying dosage amounts to mice in which a P388 leukemic condition is induced. The procedures were carried out according to "~ymphocytic Leukemia P388 - Protocol g.~;

1.200", published in Cancer Chemotherapy Repoxts, Part 3, Vol. 3, No. 2, page 9 (September, 1972). Briefly put, the screening procedures involved administration of the test comp~und to CDFl female mice previously 5 infected with 106 ascites cells implanted intraperitoneally.
Test compounds were administered on the first day of testing only, and the animals were monitored for vitality, inter alia, over a 35-day period.
Results of screening of compounds of Examples 10 1 through 32 are set forth in Table I below. Data given includes optimal dose ("O.D."), i.e., that dosage in mg/kg of body weight of the animal at which the maximum therapeutic effects are consistently observed.
Also included is the median survival time ("MST") 15 expressed as the MST of the test animals compared to the MST of controls x 100 ~"% T/C"). Within the context of the _ vivo P388 procedure noted above, a % T/C
value of 125 or greater indicates significant anti-neoplastic therapeutic activity. The lowest dose in 20 mg/kg of body weight at which the 125% T/C value is obtained is known as the minimum effective dose ("MED").
These doses also are listed in Table I. It is worthy of note that the exceptionally high ~ST ~alues obtained in the P388 screenings reported in Table I are also 25 indicative of the absence of substantial toxicity of the compounds at the dosages indicated.

Clearly amon~ the most preferred compounds employed as antineoplastic agents accoxding to the invention are those exhibiting moxe than twice the relative life-extending capacity generally characterized 5 as evidencing significant therapeutic potential, i.e., those having an MST ~ T/C value greater than 2 x 125.
The elass of such compounds is seen to include the eompounds of Examples 4, 10, 11 and 32.
As may be noted from Table I, initial single 10 dosa~es of as little as 0.2 mg/kg showed substantial long term antineoplastic activity. Accordingly, the methods of the invention may involve ~herapeutic administra-tion of unit dosages of as little as 0.001 mg or as much as 5 mg, preferably from 0.004 mg to 10 mg, of the 15 compounds as the active ingredient in a suitable phar-maceutical preparation. Such preparations may be administered in a daily regimen calling for from 0.1 mg to 100 mg per kg, preferably from about 0.2 to about 51.2 mg per kg, of the body weight of the animal ~0 suffering from neoplastic disease. It is preferred that the compounds be administered parenter~lly.
