(Wherein; RI, R2/ the description. ) -i and X are as defined in BACKGROUND One of pseudo-alkaloid compounds, colchicine has an anti-inflammation action, making it a therapeutic agent for rheumatoid arthritis [Internal Medicine, 86, 1 Mo.2, 342-345, 2000] . Colchicine and thiocolchicine derivatives have functions of muscle relaxation and anti-inflammation (USP 5 973 204, EP 0870761 Al) . Thiocolchicoside has been used for the treatment of contracture and inflammation in skeletal muscles. Also, » colchicine inhibits infiltration of monocytes and Tcells in a transplanted organ in animal experiment and at the same time restrains the production of TNF-a, IL- 1 and IL-6, inflammatory cytokines, suggesting an inhibiting effect on immune response [ Proceedings, 32, 2091-2092, 2002] . Thus, colchicine is very attractive candidate for the development of an immune response inhibitor (WO 02/100824) . Colchicine inhibits a inicrotubule assembly by the interaction with tubulin, resulting in the suppression of cell division [The Alkaloids, 1991, 41, 125-176; USP 4 533 675] . Such colchicine has been used for the treatment of gout and other inflammatory diseases related to gout. However, the • use of colchicine is limited to an acute inflammatory .disease because of the limitation in therapeutic index and toxicity to gastrointestinal tract [Pharmacotherapy, 11, 3, 196-211, 1991]. All the endeavors to develop colchiciue derivatives as an anbicancer drug have not been successful so far [USP 3 222 253; USP 00/6080739; WO 97/01570] , and only demecolcine has been used for the treatment of leukemia. However, toxicity to gastrointestinal tract and limitation in therapeutic index are still problems of demecolcine. The present inventors have completed this invention by developing colchicine derivatives having excellent activities of anticancer, anti-proliferation and angiogenesis inhibition that have now stable therapeutic index resulted from decreased toxicity. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide tricyclic derivatives or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof having excellent activities of anti-cancer, anti-proliferation and angiogenesis inhibition with stable therapeutic index by reduced toxicity. It is also an object of this invention to provide a preparation method for- tricyclic derivatives or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. It is a further object of this invention to provide a pharmaceutical composition containing tricyclic derivatives or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof as an effective ingredient.

The preparation method for tricyclic derivatives of the present invention is illustrated more precisely hereinafter. According to method 1 of the present invention for the preparation of compounds of formula (lla) and (l1b), the compound represented by formula (V) is prepared by amidation reaction making amine compound of formula (III) be reacted with halogen compound of formula (IV), which is step 1. In step 1, a base might be excluded, but the reaction is generally performed with a solvent such as dichloromethane, chloroform, 24 tetrahydrofuran, diethylether, toluene or dimethylformamide etc., which have no influence on amidation reaction, in the presence of pyridine, triethylamine, diethylisopropylamine or Nmethylmorpholine etc., a base that can be acceptable » for amidation reaction in general. Reaction temperature is not limited in particular, but generally reaction can performed under cold temperature or elevated temperature, is performed preferably at room temperature. In step 2, conversion of the compound of formula (V) prepared in the above step 1 to nitrooxy compound (n7 = 2) of formula (IIa) and to nitrosooxy compound (n7 = 1 ) of formula (IIa) was accomplished by nitration reaction and nitrosation reaction, respectively. Nitration reaction needs a compound that is able to convert halogen into nitrate, arid is performed using silver nitrate (AgN03) , t-butylammonium nitrate (Bu4NN03) , etc., in the presence of chloroform, acetonitrile, a mixture of acetonit.rile and aqueous solution, or dichloromethane, which are all solvents not affecting the reaction. Nitrosation reaction might use a compound that is able to convert halogen into nitrosate, too, and is performed preferably using silver nitrite (AgN02) or sodium nitrite (NaN02) in the 25 presence of chloroform, acetonitrile, a mixture of acetonitrile and aqueous solution, aqueous solution, or dichloromethane, which are also solvents not affecting the reaction. Reaction temperature is not limited in particular, but generally reaction can performed under » cold temperature or elevated temperature, is performed preferably at room temperature. Another way to give the compound of formula (IIa) is as follows; reaction of the compound of formula (III) with the compound of formula (VI) is performed to give the compound of formula (VII) , and then, conversion of the compound of formula (VII) to the compound of formula (Ila) is accomplished. The reaction of the compound of formula (III) and the compound of formula (VI) is performed in the presence of a coupling agent such as 1-(3-ditnethylaminopropyl) - 3-ethylcarbodiimide(EDGI), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole hydrate(HOBT) or 1,3-dicyclohexyl carbodiimide(DCC). This reaction might be performed without a base, but generally with a base such as 4-dimethylaminopyridine, pyridine, triethylamine, diethylisopropylamine, Nmethylmorpholine or dimethylphenylamine etc., which can be used in amidation reaction, in a solvent having no negative effect on the reaction, for example acetonitrile, dimethylformamide, dichloromethane, etc. 26 Reaction temperature is not limited in particular, but generally reaction can performed under cold temperature or elevated temperature, is performed preferably at room temperature. Direct conversion of the compound of formula (VII) to the compound of formula (Ila) is » accomplished by the reaction of alcohol with triphenylphosphin (PPh3) , N-bromosuccineimide (NBS) and silver nitrate, or silver nitrite. The reaction is performed in a solvent having no effect on the reaction such as chloroform, acetonitrile, dichloromethane, a mixture of acetonitrile and dichloromethane, etc. Reaction temperature is not limited in particular, but generally reaction is performed under cold temperature or at room temperature. Another way for conversion of the compound of formula (VII) to the compound of formula (Ila) is as follows; conversion of the compound of formula (VII) to halogen compound of formula (V) is accomplished first, and then conversion thereof to the compound of formula (Ila) is accomplished again. At this time, the conversion into halogen compound is performed by using a reagent that generally converts hydroxy group to halogen, for example tribromophosphin, tetrabromomethane etc., in the presence of chloroform* acetonitrile, dichloromethane etc., which are solvents having no negative effect on the reaction. Reaction 27 temperature is not limited in particular, but generally reaction is performed under cold temperature or at room temperature. Processes for preparing the compound of formula (IIb) of the method 1 of the present invention are as follows; conversion of hydrogen included in alcohol of formula (VII) to a leaving group such as mesylate, tosylate or triplate is accomplished, followed by reaction with potassium thioacetate, to give thioacetate ester compound. Hydrolysis of the compound in the presence of a base is accomplished to give the compound of formula (VIII) .

Experimental Example 1: Cytotoxicity test to cancer cell lines Cytotoxicity to A549 (Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology) , SK-OV-3 (Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology), SK-MEL-2 (Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology), HCT-15 (Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology) and MCF7 (Korean Cell Line Bank, Seoul National University School of medicine} cells was measured by Sulforhodamin-B (SRB) method (1909, National Cancer Institute (NCI)) which was developed for the measurement of in vitro anticancer activity of a drug. Cells were separated using 0.25% trypsin-EDTA solution, leading to the preparation of a cell suspension by 5xl03 - 2xl04 cells/well. Then, the suspension was distributed into a 96 well plate by 100 ìl/well, which Was cultured in a 37°C, 5% CO-, incubator for 24 hours. Compounds prepared in examples of the present invention were used as a sample. Precisely, the compound way 136 dissolved in dimethylsulfoxide and diluted with RPMI 1640 medium before being uso.d a.s a sample. The final concentration of the sample used varied ranging 1 ìM ~ 0.00001 ìM. The medium was removed from the 96 well plate and then diluted sample solution was added by 100 ìl/well, followed by further culture in a 37 C, 5% C02 incubator for 48 hours. Tz (time zero) plate was collected from the point of adding the sample. Upon completing the culture, the medium was removed from each well along with Tz plate, then 10% trichloroacetic acid (TCA) was added by 100 ìl/well. The plate was left at 4 C for 1 hour to let cells be fixed on the floor of the plate. After cells were fixed completely, the plate was washed with water 5-6 times to remove the remaining trichloroacetic acid solution completely and moisture was completely dried at room temperature. 0.4% Sulforhodamine-B was dissolved in 1% acetic acid solution to prepare a staining solution. Cell.s were stained for 30 minutes with a dye added by 100 ^ to each well of the completely dried plate. Then, the plate was washed with 1% acetic acid solution 5-6 times to remove sulforhodamine-B remained uncombined with cells. Then, the plate was dried at room temperuture. 10 mM Tris solution was added by 100 ìl/well thereto to dissolve 137 the dye, and optical density (OD) was measured ' at 520 nm with a micro plate reader. ED50 (concentration that inhibits cancer cell growth 50%, 50% effective dose., nM/ml) of the sample to cancer cell was calculated aa follows. OD value at the point of beginning the culture with the sample was determined as Tz (time zero) value. OD value of a well to be cultured without the cample was determined as a control value (C) .

Experimental Example 2: Inhibiting effect of tricyclic derivatives of the present invention on tumor growth In order to investigate inhibiting effect of tricyclic derivatives of the invention on tumor growth, following experiments were performed. Samples for the experiment were stored in a refrigerator all the time. Different dosages of compounds were administered to a test animal; dosage of a compound prepared in the Example 8 was 10 mg/kg, dosage of a compound prepared in the Example 12 was 1, 3, 10 mg/kg respectively and dosage of a positive control was 2.5 mg/kg (Taxol) and 2 mg/kg (Adriamycin). The compound of the Example 12 was dissolved in 4% tween 80, and the positive control Taxol was dissolved in a mixed solvent of 5% athanol + 25% cremophor + 75% PBS. The prepared sample is subject to be precipitated, so that tip sonication was performed right before the administration to disperse it well. 7 week-old female S.P.F. BALB/c nude mice, provided by Charles Rivet: Co., Japan, were used as teat 141 animals. The test animals were adapted in a Hepafilter room over a week before the test. The temperature was 21±2°C, humidity was 55±5% and 12-hour light and dark cycle was automatically repeated in that lab. Solid feed (CheilJedang) was sterilized by radioactive rays and drinking water was also sterilized by autoclave. Feed and water were taken by the animal freely. Cancer cell line used .in this experiment was NCI-H460 (human lung tumor cell line) provided by Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology. The tumor cell line, stored in liquid nitrogen, was thawed and cultured in a 37 °C, 5% C02 incubator for a required time. Upon completing the culture, all the cells were recovered and cell concentration of the culture fluid was adjusted using PBS to 3xl07 cells/ml. The adjusted cell culture solution was injected hypodermically into armpit between right shoulder girdle and chest wall by 0.3 ml per mouse. From the next day of grafting, NCI-H460 xenografted nude mice were administered intraperitoneal everyday with the sample solution by 0.2 ml/20 g of weight, once a day. After the grafting of tumor cells, the volume of a tumor in each individual was measured in three dimensions by using a vernier caliper, which was represented in the below Mathematical Formula 2>. 142 Mathematical Formula 2> Tumor volume = (lengUixwidthxhoight) /2 Body weight changes of animal were measured three times a week. Each xenografted nude mouse was sacrificed to separate a tumor, which was then weighed. All the test results of experimental groups were compared with those of control groups by t-Test to see if there is any significant difference between the two groups. Changes of the volume and the weight of a tumor were shown in Table 2 and in FIG. 1, 3, and 5, and changes of the body weight of a mouse were shown in Table 3, in FIG. 2 and in FIG. 4.
