Abstract

Previously, gdeazafolic acid (17) was shown to be a potent inhibitor of the folate-dependent bacteria, Streptococcus faecium (ATCC 8043) and Lactobacillus casei (ATCC 74691, and to have activity against lymphoid leukemia L1210 in mice. To examine the 5, 6, 7, 84etrahydro derivatives, a new synthesis of 17 was developed from 8-deaza-2, 4-dichloro-6- methylpteridine. Treatment of the latter with aqueous base gave the corresponding ...
