Abstract

Quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) have been derived for the action of 68 5-(substituted benzyl)-2,4-diaminopyrimidines on dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) from Lactobacillus casei and chicken liver. The QSAR are analyzed with respect to the stereographics models of the active sites of the enzymes and found to be in good agreement. Using these QSAR equations, we have attempted to design new trimethoprim-type antifolates having higher selectivity for the bacterial enzyme. The general problem of developing selective inhibitors is discussed.
