Methotrexate (MTX) analogues 27a-c bearing 2,ω-diaminoalkanoic acids (ornithine and its two lower homologues) in place of glutamic acid were synthesized by routes proceeding through N2-<4-(methylamino)benzoyl>-Nω-<(1,1-dimethylethoxy)carbonyl>-2,ω-diaminoalkanoic acids ethyl esters (12a,b) and N2-<4-(methylamino)benzoyl>-N5-<(1,1-dimethylethoxy)carbonyl>-2,5-diaminopentanoic acid (13) followed by alkylation with 6-(bromomethyl)-2,4-pteridinediamine hydrobromide.Reactions at the terminal amino group of 27-type analogues or of appropriate precursors led to other MTX derivatives whose side chains terminate in ureido (23a,b), methylureido (24), N-methyl-N-nitrosoureido (30), N-(2-chloroethyl)-N-nitrosoureido (31), and 4-chlorobenzamido (28a-c) groups.Also prepared were unsymmetrically disubstituted ureido types resulting from addition of ethyl isocyanatoacetate and diethyl 2-isocyanotoglutarate to the ethyl esters of 27a,b.Of these ureido adducts (32a,b and 33a,b, respectively), only 33a was successfully hydrolyzed to the corresponding pure acid, in this instance the tricarboxylic acid 34, a pseudo-peptide analogue of the MTX metabolite MTX-γ-Glu.Bilogical evaluations of the prepared compounds affirmed previous findings that the γ-carboxyl is not required for tight binding to dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) but is operative in the carrier-mediated transport of classical antifolates through cell membranes.High tolerance levels observed in studies against L1210 leukemia in mice suggest the reduced potency may be due not only to lower transport efficacy but also to loss of the function of intracellular γ-polyglutamylation.The N-nitrosoureas 30 and 31 showed appreciable activity in vivo vs.L1210, but the activity did not appear to be due to antifolate action as evidenced by their poor inhibition of both L1210 DHFR and cell growth in vitro.
