The Ala16Val+Ser108Thr (A16V+S108T) mutant of the Plasmodium falciparum dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) is a key mutant responsible for cycloguanil-resistant malaria due to steric interaction between Val-16 and one of the C-2 methyl groups of cycloguanil. 4,6-Diamino-1,2-dihydrotriazines have been prepared, in which both methyl groups of cycloguanil are replaced by H or by H and an alkyl or phenyl group, and their...
