The synthesis and biological activity of a series of 2,4-diaminopyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine based antifolates as antineoplastic and antiarthritic agents

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 1999 Jan 4;9(1):75-8. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(98)00683-0.

Abstract

A new series of 2,4-diaminopyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine based antifolates 1-3 were synthesized through an efficient conversion of 2-pivaloyl-4-oxo-6-ethynylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine 5 to the corresponding 4-amino analog 7 via the activated 1,2,4-triazole intermediate 6. Compound 7 was used as the key intermediate for the preparation of the final products. The detailed biological evaluation of these compounds both as antineoplastic and antiarthritic agents will be discussed.
