Folate analogues. 21. Synthesis and antifolate and antitumor activities of N10-(cyanomethyl)-5,8-dideazafolic acid.

Abstract:

:A close analogue of the antileukemic agent 5,8-dideaza-N10 propargylfolic acid (2) was synthesized by replacing the propargyl moiety of 2 with a cyanomethyl group. This compound, N10-(cyanomethyl)-5,8-dideazafolic acid (3), was evaluated for its antifolate and antitumor activities in several biological test systems. Alkylation of diethyl N-(4-aminobenzoyl)-L-glutamate with bromoacetonitrile gave diethyl N-[4-[(cyanomethyl)amino]benzoyl]-L-glutamate (7). Reaction of 7 with 2 amino-6-(bromomethyl)-4-hydroxyquinazoline (9) in dimethylacetamide gave the corresponding diethyl ester 11, which was hydrolyzed to the target compound 3. The known antileukemic agent 2 was also synthesized for comparative studies by employing a modified procedure, which resulted in a better yield of this product. Both compounds 2 and 3 were evaluated for their antifolate activities by using two folate-requiring microorganisms, Streptococcus faecium and Lactobacillus casei. They were further evaluated as inhibitors of thymidylate synthase and dihydrofolate reductase derived from the above organisms, as well as for their antitumor activity by using selected tumor cells in culture. Compound 2 was found to be as equally potent as methotrexate (MTX) against S. faecium, and it was an excellent inhibitor of L. casei thymidylate synthase. The cyanomethyl analogue 3 was less active than 2 in all the test systems, except the inhibition of dihydrofolate reductase.
