Abstract

The invention relates to new tetracyclic analogues of camptothecin, their preparation processes, their use as medicaments and the pharmaceutical compositions containing them. Said analogues, which include in particular 3-hydroxy-3-(4-oxo-4,6-dihydroindolizino[1,2-b]quinoline-2-yl)pentanoic acid, have a powerful biological activity inhibiting topoisomerase I and/or topoisomerase II.
