- Antifolate and Antibacterial Activities of 5-Substituted 2,4-Diaminoquinazolines
-
A series of 5-substituted 2,4-diaminoquinazolines (3) has been synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) from both bacterial and mammalian sources.The best compounds (e.g. 53) show good activity against Escherichia coli DHFR, but there is no significant selectivity for the bacterial over the mammalian enzyme.The structure-activity relationships for enzyme inhibition appear to be complex and not amenable to simple analysis; a hypotesis to explain the observed qualitative structure-activity relationships is proposed.The inhibitory activities of the compounds against the growth of intact bacterial cells in vitro closely parallel those for the inhibition of the isolated bacterial enzymes, suggesting that their antifolate action is responsible for their antibacterial effects.Five of the compounds were tested for their ability to cure a systemic E. coli infection in the mouse, but they showed no therapeutic effects at their maximum tolerated doses.

- Direct Synthesis of 2,4-Diaminoquinazolines from 2-Fluorobenzonitriles
-
In a search for new methods for preparing 2,4-diaminoquinazolines having a diversity of substituents in the benzenoid ring, it was found that the reaction of 2,6-difluorbenzonitrile with guanidine carbonate gave 2,4-diamino-5-fluoroquinazoline in excellent yield.Extension of this approach to other 2-fluorobenzonitriles, some of which were elaborated for the first time, showed that this reaction possesses considerable generality.The cyclization was sucessful even when electron donating groups were present at position six.Only in two cases where a primary or secondary amino group was also present ortho to the cyano group was this transformation unsucessful.
