Cyclopenta[g]quinazoline-based inhibitors of thymidylate synthase (TS) possess a chiral centre at the 6-position of the molecule. The effect of this chirality on the inhibition of TS was investigated by synthesising compounds 6S-1a-c, 6R-1a-c. It was shown, in particular with the diastereoisomers 6S-1c, 6R-1c, that the inhibitory activity against TS is mainly due to the 6S diastereoisomer rather than the 6R diastereoisomer, which is virtually inactive.

5-Aminoindane was converted in six steps to the cyclopenta[g]quinazoline ketone 13. Condensation of 13 with diethyl 4-aminobenzoyl-L-glutamate, followed by in situ reduction, produced the secondary amine 15. W-Propargylation of 15, followed by deprotection, gave the diacid 17 as a mixture of diastereoisomers. Treatment of 17 with the bacterial enzyme carboxypeptidase G2 resulted in removal of the L-glutamic acid residue from (6/J)-17 to give a chromatographically separable mixture of the monoacid 18 and the antifolate 5 [(65)-17], which was assayed as an inhibitor of thymidylate synthase (Kfpp = 3 nM). Treatment of isolated diacid 5 with carboxypeptidase G2 produced the monoacid 19 in ;. 98% enantiomeric excess. The (65) stereochemistry of compound 19 has been established by X-ray crystal structure determination of the amide derivative 24.
