Synthesis and antitumor activities of novel 6-5 fused ring heterocycle antifolates: N-[4-[ω-(2-amino-4-substituted-6,7- dihydrocyclopenta[d]pyrimidin-5-yl)alkyl]benzoyl]-L-glutamic acids

Novel antifolates with a 6-5 fused ring system, 6,7- dihydrocyclopenta[d]pyrimidine, (3a,b and 4a,b) were synthesized on the basis of combined modification of the heterocycle and bridge regions of the folate molecule. The synthetic method involves (1) syn
