Abstract

The present work deals with design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel, diverse compounds as potential inhibitors of dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) from opportunistic microorganisms; Pneumocystis carinii (pc), Toxoplasma gondii (tg) and Mycobacteriumavium (ma). A set of 14 structurally diverse compounds were designed with varying key pharmacophoric features of DHFR inhibitors, bulky distal substitutions and ...
