The paper describes the design, synthesis, and testing of inhibitors of folate-synthesizing enzymes and of whole cell cultures of Candida albicans. The target enzymes used were dihydropteroic acid synthase (SYN) and dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR). Several series of new 2,4-diaminopyrimidines were synthesized and tested as inhibitors of DHFR and compared with their activity against DHFR derived from mycobacteria and Escherichia coli. To test for selectivity, also rat DHFR was used. A series of substituted 4-aminodiphenyl sulfones was tested for inhibitory activity against SYN and the I50 values compared to those obtained previously against Plasmodium berghei- and E. coll-derived SYN. Surprisingly, QSAR equations show very similar structural dependencies. To find an explanation for the large difference in the I50 values observed for enzyme inhibition (SYN, DHFR) and for inhibition of cell cultures of Candida, mutant strains with overexpressed efflux pumps and strains in which such pumps are deleted were included in the study and the MICs compared. Efflux pumps were responsible for the low activity of some of the tested derivatives, others showed no increase in activity after pumps were knocked out. In this case it may be speculated that these derivatives are not able to enter the cells.

A series of 6-substituted 2,4-diamino-5-(4-pyridylamino)pyrimidines and of 2,4-diamino-5-(4-substituted benzylamino)pyrimidines has been prepared.Their antibacterial activity towards L. casei, S. aureus and E. coli has been investigated.These activities have been successfully correlated by Hansch-type relations.Dependence on both lipophilicity and electronic (polar) factors has been found.The results are related to the structure and interactions with the receptor.
