Antibiotic dystamicine is a known compound of formula (II) :

belonging to the pyrrol-amidinic group and showing interesting antiviral activity, for example against the herpetic viruses and Moloney sarcoma virus, is characterized by the ability to interact reversibly and selectively with DNA sequences rich in dA and dT bases thereby interfering both in the replication and transcription process [see Arcamone in B. Pullman and J. Jorterez (eds) "Molecular basis of specificity in nucleic acid - drug interaction" 369-383, 1990 Kluwer Academic Publishers]. As is known, antiviral and antitumoral agents nowadays used in therapy are characterized by serious side effects, limiting their use in a large number of cases which on the contrary should take advantage from the therapy; moreover therapeutical progresses are necessary in the clinical treatment of important solid tumors, as for example pulmonary tumors and ovarian tumors, not responding adequately to any treatment nowadays in use.
A requisite for the therapeutic progress in this particular field is therefore the discovery of compounds having molecular moieties allowing them to increase the selectivity in inhibiting viral proliferation and the proliferation of tumoral rather than healthy cells.
Detailed description of the invention
The present invention has the aim to render available new antitumoral and antiviral compounds and in particular compounds
analogous to dystamicine containing new chemical modifications at the N- terminal side chain level, and/or containing a different number of pyrrolic residues if compared to the natural product. These compounds, show a marked antitumoral and antiviral activity, as well selectivity in the inhibition of tumoral cells and viruses with respect to the healthy cells.
