The use, according to the invention, of the compound (R)-(+)-3-methyl-5-[3(4,4-di phenyl-1-pi peridi nyl)-propyl] -1,4-di hydro-2,6-dimethyl-4-(3-ni trophenyl)-pyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate and of its salts is preferred particularly.
Particularly preferred subject matter of the invention is the use of those op35 tically pure 1,4-dihydropyridines of formula I, which have - in particular as compared with their optical antipodes - only a minor influence on the cardiovascular system. -12The synthesis of compounds of formula I is disclosed, for example, in European patent application 0 242 829. Compounds I can also be prepared by reacting optically pure dihydropyridines of formula II as such or in the form of their salts and, if desired, the salts obtained are then converted into the free bases or the bases obtained are then converted into the salts, Ar, Rl, R2, R3, R6, R7, R8, R9 and A having the above-mentioned meanings and Z representing a suitable leaving group. -13Tbe reaction is carried out in suitable, preferably inert, organic solvent in the presence of water or without water. Examples of such solvents are ethers, such as dioxane, diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, glycol monoethyl ether or glycol dimethyl ether; ketones, such as acetone or ethyl methyl ketone; aromatic hydrocarbons, such as xylene or toluene; or chlorinated hydrocarbons, such as methylene chloride, chloroform, tetrachloroethylene or dichloroethane; or polar, aprotic solvents, such as dimethylformaraide, n-methylpyrrolidone or dimethylsulfoxide.
Depending on the reactivity of the educts, the reaction temperatures are optio10 nally varied within a wide range. In general, the reaction is carried out at 0 0 0 0 . temperatures between 20 C and 150 C, preferably between 20 C and 100 C, in particular at the boiling point of the solvent used.
The process is conveniently carried out at atmospheric pressure or at increased pressure, work at atmospheric presssure being the rule.
Oepenaing on the leaving group Z. which is for example a tosyl group or a triflate group, preferably a halogen atom, in particular a bromine atom, the reaction can, if desired, be carried out in the presence of a base (for example of an inorganic carbonate, such as potassium carbonate) or with the use of an excess of diarylpiperidine III.
The resultant compounds I are isolated and purified in a fashion which is known per se, for example by removing the solvent by distillation in vacuo and recrystallizing the resultant residue from a suitable solvent, or by subjecting it to one of the conventional purification methods, such as column chromatography on a suitable support material.
Acid-addition salts are obtained by dissolving the free base in a suitable solvent, for example in a chlorinated hydrocarbon, such as methylene chloride or chloroform, or in a low-molecular-weight aliphatic alcohol (ethanol or isopropanol), or in an open-chain or cyclic ether, such as dioxane or tetrahydrofuran, which contains the desired acid or to which the desired acid is subse30 quently added.
The salts are obtained by filtration, reprecipitation, precipitation with a nonsolvent for the addition salt, or by evaporation of the solvent. -14The salts obtained are converted into the free bases by alkalization, for example using aqueous ammonia solution; and the free bases are, in turn, converted into acid-addition salts. In this fashion, pharmacologically-unacceptable acid-addition salts are easily converted into pharmacologically-acceptable acid-addition salts.
The starting compounds II are obtained from optically pure di hydropyridine carboxylic acids IV (IV) by reaction with suitable bi functional alkyl derivatives V and subsequent removal of SG, Ar, Rl, R2, R3 and A having the meanings given above, Z being a suitable leaving group and SG being a protecting group.
The reaction of IV with V is carried out preferably under basic conditions in the presence of a phase-transfer catalyst.
Illustrative catalysts, besides oniura salts, such as tetrabutyl ammonium bromide or benzyltriethylammonium chloride, are particularly crown ethers, such as dibenzo-[18] crown-6, di cyclohexyl-[18] crown-6 and, in particular, [18]crown-6.
A suitable base is employed in at least a molar amount and preferably in excess thereof. The base is, e.g., an inorganic base, such as an alkali-metal hydroxi-° de (for example sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide) or, in particular, an alkali-metal carbonate (for example sodium carbonate or, preferably, potassium carbonate). When the reaction is carried out in an anhydrous solvent, the hydroxide or carbonate used is preferably in finely-powdered form. -15The reaction is carried out (depending on the type of phase-transfer catalyst, the leaving group Z and the base employed) in water-containing or anhydrous organic solvent, or in a mixture of water and a water-inmiscible or sparingly water-miscible organic solvent. Examples of water/solvent mixtures include mix5 tures of water with chloroform, dichloromethane or benzene. Examples of watercontaining or anhydrous solvents are dichloromethane, acetonitrile or acetone. The leaving group Z is preferably a halogen atom, in particular a bromine atom.
The choice of reaction temperature in the reaction of IV with V depends on the o other reaction conditions; temperatures between 20 C and the boiling point of 10 the solvent employed are generally preferred.
Suitable protecting groups SG are, in particular, those groups which are introduced easily and in high yield into the precursor on which the compound IV is based, which do not undergo side reactions during the reaction of IV with V, and which are removed smoothly at the end of the reaction. Examples of prefer.15 red protecting groups SG are alkoxymethyl groups or benzyloxymethyl groups, in particular the ethoxymethyl group. The removal of the protecting group is carried out in acidic medium, for example in 1 N hydrochloric acid or, preferably, in anhydrous formic acid, under reaction conditions which are known to the expert. The removal of the protecting group can also be carried out after the reaction with the diarylpiperidine III.
The solvents, bases and phase-transfer catalysts in the examples only represent an exemplary selection. Which further combinations of solvents, bases and phase-transfer catalysts are also suitable is known to the expert on the basis of his expert knowledge.
The di hydropyridine carboxylic acids IV are known from Chem. Pharm. Bull. 28(9) 2809-2812 (1980), or are prepared in an analogous fashion to that described therein. The diaryl piperi dines III are known from DE-OS i9 36 452. The bi functional alkyl derivatives V are known or they can be prepared according to known processes,.

M.p. denotes melting point, h represents hours, b.p. represents boiling point, and decomp, denotes decomposition. -1όEXAHPLES End Products 1.

After cooling, 500 ml of ethyl acetate and I 1 of water are added with vigorous stirring. The phases are separated; the organic phase is washed four times with water, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The residue is dissolved in 1 I of dioxane; then 15.2 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid solution (12.5 M, d - 1.19) are added, and about 200 ml of the solvent mixture are removed by distillation in vacuo. The product crystal15 lizes spontaneously on standing at room temperature or after inoculation or trituration, and is filtered off by suction after 16 h, washed with dioxane and o o di isopropyl ether, and dried at 80 to 100 C in vacuo. For further purification the crude product is dissolved in di chloromethane. After addition of 800 ml of dioxane the dichlormethane is distilled off. The product which crystallizes af20 ter inoculation on standing at room temperature for 16 h is filtered off by o suction, washed with dioxane and di isopropyl ether, and dried at 100 C in vao o 22 o cuo. 97 g of the title compound {m.p. 158 C to 160 C and [«]. · - 39 o 436 (c = 1, methanol) or [a] = - 14,4 (c = 1, methanol)} are obtained.
Alternatively, the title compound is obtained as follows: 64.6 g of (i)-3-methyl-5-[3-(4,4-diphenyl-l-piperidinyl)-propyl]-l,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-4-(3-nitrophenvl)-pvridine-3,5-dicarboxylate hydrochloride are dissolved in 300 ml of dichloromethane. The solution is washed once with 100 ml of concentrated aqueous ammonia solution and twice with 100 ml of water. The organic phase is dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated.

Allowing the stirred solution to cool slowly gives a first crop of crystals (55 g of di-0,0'-benzoyltartrate of the title compound; slightly yellowish crystals) which is dissolved again at the boil in a mixture of chloroform and methanol (4+1). When the crystals have just dissolved, ethyl acetate (20 per cent by volume of the mixture of chloroform/methanol) is added to the boiling solution, and the mixture is allowed to cool slowly with stirring. The obtained second crop of fine crystals (50 g) is recrystallized three times in the same way. A third (36 g with [a]22= _ 47.5°), f0urth (33 g with [a]22= - 49.4°) and fifth {31 g with [22= - 50.4 (c · 1, methanol)} crop of crystals is obtained successively. The fifth crop of crystals is dissolved in 500 ml of dichloromethane. The solution is washed twice with 150 ml of concentrated aqueous ammonia solution in each case and three times with 100 ml of water in each case. The organic phase is concentrated, and the residue is worked up as described above. Yield: 19.8 g, [e]22s - 14.3 (c - 1, methanol). 2.

After concentration of the solution, the solid foamed residue is taken up at the boil in 300 ml of a mixture of methyl ethyl ketone and methanol (2*1), and the well-stirred clear solution is then o allowed to cool slowly. A first crop of crystals {33 g, m.p. 165 - 166 C, - 17.8° (c s 1, methanol)} is obtained which yields after renewed recrystallization from methyl ethyl ketone/methanol (2 ♦ 1) a second crops of crystals {22 g, [β]θ2= - 10.8 (c = 1, methanol)}. The coarse yellowish needles are dissolved in 400 ml of di chloromethane. The solu30 tion is extracted with 300 ml of concentrated aqueous anmonia solution and subsequently three times with 100 ml of water in each case. The organic phase is dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. The obtained solid foamed residue (14.3 g) is dissolved together with 2.6 g of fumaric acid in methanol, and the solution is concentrated again. The residue is dissolved in a boiling mixture -18of ethyl acetate and 2-propanol (9*1). The solution is allowed to cool slowly, and 12.4 g of the title compound are obtained as fine needles of m.p. 151 152°C and [α]^2= ♦ 42.0 (c » 1, methanol).
The freee base of the title compound obtained after the extraction with ammonia 5 can be precipitated in petroleum ether in amorphous form. A fine yellowish o 22 0 powder of m.p. 96 - 104 C (slow deliquescence) and [«]0 = ♦ 57.6 (c = 1, methanol) is obtained. 3.

The mixture is stirred at room temperature until no further evolution of gas can be detected. The batch is concentrated to dryness three times with the addition of 5 ml of absolute toluene each time. The resulting brown solid residue is suspended in 3 ml of absolute methylene chloride and the suspension is added dropwise to a solution, cooled to 0 C, of 1.09 g of N-[2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-ethyl] -4,4-di phenyl piperidine and 0.6 ml of triethylamine, while gassing with N,. After the dropwise addition, the mixture is stirred at room temperature for a further 2 h and then 20 concentrated to dryness. The brownish residue which remains is taken up in 100 ml of methylene chloride and extracted three times with 50 ml of water each time. After the organic phase has been dried over sodium sulfate, the brownish clear solution is substantially concentrated and the oily residue is chromatographed over a 2 x 30 cm silica gel column with methylene chloride/ethanol (98 + 2) as the eluting agent. After the chromatographically uniform product fraction has been concentrated, the yellowish residue which remains is taken up in 5 ml of methylene chloride, and ethereal hydrochloric acid is added to the solution. After renewed concentration of the hydrochloride solution to dryness, the residue in the form of a solid foam is dissolved in 3 ml of methylene chlo30 ride and the product is precipitated as an amorphous substance by dropwise addition of the solution to 1 1 of petroleum ether/diethyl ether (2 ♦ 1). After the precipitate has been filtered off with suction and dried, the title compound is obtained as a fine gray powder of m.p. 113 - 128 C (slow deliquescence); [«]q2= + 0-9 (c = 1, methanol); yield: 490 mg. -19Starting compound (-)-3-Methyl-5-(3-bromopropyl)-1,4-di hydro-2,6-dimethy 1-4-(3-ni trophenyl)-pyridine-3,5-di carboxylate 168.5 g of (+)-l-ethoxymethyl-l,4-dihydro-5-methoxycarbonyl-2,6-dimethyl-45 (3-nitrophenyl)-pyridine-3-carboxylic acid/cinchonine salt {[a] s o 0 ♦101.5 (c » 1, chloroform)] are dissolved in 1.5 1 of dichloromethane; 1.2 1 of 0.2 N hydrochloric acid solution are added with cooling and vigorous stirring. The pH is adjusted to 2 by adding 2 N hydrochloric acid solution, and the phases are then separated. The organic phase is washed a total of four times 10 with pH 2 hydrochloric acid solution, and then washed with water, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. The obtained oily residue is dissolved in 1.1 1 of acetone. 375 g of finely powdered potassium carbonate, 375 ml of 1,3dibromopropane and 1.2 g of [18]-crown-6 are subsequently added. The mixture is stirred vigorously for 24 h at room temperature and then filtered by suction; the filter cake is washed with acetone. The filtrate is concentrated under a slight vacuum in a rotary evaporator, and the excess 1,3-dibromopropane is reo moved by distillation at 0.02 mbar (bath temperature up to 45 C). 690 ml of concentrated formic acid are poured onto the oily residue with ice cooling; the mixture is then stirred at room temperature until a clear solution has been produced (about 15 minutes). The formic acid is removed by distillation in vacuo. After twice adding and removing (by distillation) 200 ml of toluene in each case, the residue is dissolved in 900 ml of dichloromethane. The solution is stirred with sodium hydrogen carbonate solution (pH 8.5) and washed with water. The organic phase is dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The product which crystallizes spontaneously after addition of di isopropyl ether is filtered off by suction, washed with di isopropyl ether an<^ dried in vacuo. 102 g of the title compound {m.p. 112 to 114 C and [a] O u - 13.8 (c = 1, methanol)} are obtained. -20Commercial Applicability The compounds I and their salts possess valuable properties which make them commercially useful. They are, in particular, antineoplastic agents with an interesting cytostatic activity. They are useful for the treatment of tumors, e.g. for reducing and preventing metastasis and neoplastic growth, in mammals. > In their excellent effectiveness, which is revealed by a selective, controlled inhibition of the proliferation and which is combined with low toxicity and the absence of undesired side-effects, the compounds I and their salts differ in a surprising and advantageous manner from those 1,4-dihydropyridines the use of which is proposed for cancer chemotherapy in the art. It has to be pointed out, particularly, that up to now only those 1,4-dihydropyridines with pronounced calcium channel blocking (calcium antagonist) activity were regarded as being suitable for cancer chemotherapy, i.e. the calcium channel blocking (calciumantagonistic) activity was regarded as a prerequisite for cytostatic activity. It has now been found, surprisingly, that compounds I and their salts, which show only minor calcium channel blocking activity, have a pronounced ability to inhibit tumor cell growth in vitro which indicates a corresponding in vivo activity.
The minor calcium channel blocking activity of compounds I is revealed by the comparatively small influence of these compounds on the cardiovascular system, e.g. on blood pressure or on heart rate. This low cardiovascular activity of compounds I and their salts permits them to be used in human medicine as potent antitumor and antimetastatic agents: Compounds I and their salts - in contrast to the cardiovascular active calcium channel blockers hitherto known as antineoplastic agents - can be administered in a therapeutically-effective amount without risk of undesired side-effects on the cardiovascular system.
The excellent effectiveness of compounds I and of their salts makes them useful in human medicine as chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of tumors, e.g. ovarian tumors, testicular tumors, carcinomas of the prostate, carcinomas of the urinary bladder, oesophagal carcinomas and other malignant neoplasias, in 3q particular of colon cancer, breast cancer, bronchial carcinomas and lung carcinomas. -21The invention embraces the use of the compounds of formula I and their pharmacologicaliy-acceptable salts in the preparation of medicaments which are employed for combating said diseases.
The medicaments are prepared by processes which are in themselves known and are 5 familiar to those skilled in the art. The medicaments employed are the pharmacological ly-active compounds of formula I and/or their salts («active compounds), either as such or, preferably, in combination with suitable pharmaceutical auxiliaries, in the form of tablets, coated tablets, capsules, suppositories, patches (for transdermal drug administration), emulsions, suspen10 sions, aerosols, sprays, ointments, creams, gels or solutions, the content of active compound being advantageously between 0.1 and 95 per cent by weight. -22Excipients which are suitable for the desired medicament formulations are familiar to the skilled worker from his technical knowlege. In addition to solvents, gel formers, suppository bases, tablet excipients and other vehicles for the active ingredient, it is also possible to use, for example, antioxidants, dispersants, emulsifiers, antifoams, flavour improvers, preservatives, solubilizers, colorants or, in particular, permeation promoters and complex formers (for example cyclodextrins).
The active ingredients can be administered rectally, by inhalation, parenteral ly (perlingually, intravenously or percutaneously) or orally.
In the case of oral administration, it has in general proved advantageous in human medicine to administer the active ingredient or ingredients in a daily dose of about 0,5 to about 30 mg/kg body weight, if desired in the form of several, preferably 1 to 4, individual doses in order to achieve the desired result. In the case of parenteral treatment, similar or (in particular in the case of intravenous administration of the active ingredients) as a rule lower doses are used.
The required optimum dose and mode of administration of the active ingredients in each case can be readily determined by anyone skilled in the art on the basis of his technical knowledge.
If the compounds according to the invention and/or their salts are used for the treatment of the stated diseases, the pharmaceutical formulations can also contain one or more other pharmacologically active constituents from other groups of medicaments.
As is customary in internal tumor therapy, treatment with the medicaments ac25 cording to the invention is optionally combined with administration of other cytostatic agents, having different action spectra, in order to reduce the risk of side-effects. It may also be appropriate to carry out. treatment in accordance with the principle of cyclic cytostatic therapy. In this therapy, each treatment is followed by a recovery phase. The experience that, in most organs, 30 healthy tissue regenerates more rapidly than malignant tissue is utilized therein. -23Pharmacology The antineoplastic activity of (♦)-3-methyl-5-[3-(4,4-diphenyl-l-piperidiny1)propyl]-1,4-di hydro-2,6-dimethyl -4- (3-nitrophenyl) -pyri di ne-3,5-di carboxy 1 ate hydrochloride (compound 1) was tested in a number of different in vitro assay systems.
