Popis: Ten previously undescribed 2,4-diamino-6-(2-naphthylamino )methylpteridines with lipophilic chlorine or long-chain alkyl groups on the naphthyl moiety and either hydrogen or a methyl group on N 10 were synthesized from the appropriate 2-naphthylamine or N-methyl-2-naphthylamine by reaction with 2-amino-5-chloromethylpyrazine-3-carbonitrile and ring closure with guanidine . One analogue with a methyl group at the 7 -position was also prepared. The N 10 -unsubstituted analogues were consistently less active than the N1o-methyl analogues as inhibitors of Pneumocystis carin ii, Toxoplasma gondii, and rat liver dihydrofolate reductase. However the potency of the series as a whole was relatively low against all three enzymes, with the best inhibitors giving ICoo values only in the 0.1-1.0 ~M range and several giving IC50 values in the 10-100 ~M range. Moreover, while several compounds with ICso values of
