The design of cyclopropane-containing enzyme activated inhibitors of dihydrofolate reductase is presented.The synthesis of two examples, 2-amino-7,8-dihydro-6-hydroxymethylpteridine-7-spirocyclopropan-4(3H)-one and 2,4-diamino-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-6-cyclopropylpyrimidine, is described.Kinetic studies with dihydrofolate reductase from E. coli are presented to show that the former is a time-dependent inhibitor of the enzyme whereas the latter is a typical competitive inhibitor.The results are interpreted with regard to the active site structure of dihydrofolate reductase.

2-Amino-7,8-dihydro-6-hydroxymethyl-7-spirocyclopropylpteridin-4(3H)-one is shown to be the first mechanism-based inhibitor of dihydrofolate reductase whereas 2,4-diamino-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-6-cyclopropyl-pyrimidine is a typical competitive inhibitor.
