Three recently synthesized dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) inhibitors designated SoRI 8890, 8895, and 8897 were evaluated for their in vitro activities against 25 isolates of Mycobacterium avium complex. The MICs at which 50 and 90% of isolates were inhibited were 1 and 2, 4 and 8, and 4 and 8 microgram/ml for SoRI 8890, 8895, and 8897, respectively. Although the addition of dapsone at 0.5 microgram/ml did not significantly enhance the in vitro activities of these compounds, their activities alone were comparable to, if not better than, results seen with other DHFR inhibitors, such as pyrimethamine or WR99210.

D011743 Pyrimidines A family of 6-membered heterocyclic compounds occurring in nature in a wide variety of forms. They include several nucleic acid constituents (CYTOSINE; THYMINE; and URACIL) and form the basic structure of the barbiturates.
D004791 Enzyme Inhibitors Compounds or agents that combine with an enzyme in such a manner as to prevent the normal substrate-enzyme combination and the catalytic reaction. Enzyme Inhibitor,Inhibitor, Enzyme,Inhibitors, Enzyme
D005493 Folic Acid Antagonists Inhibitors of the enzyme, dihydrofolate reductase (TETRAHYDROFOLATE DEHYDROGENASE), which converts dihydrofolate (FH2) to tetrahydrofolate (FH4). They are frequently used in cancer chemotherapy.

D015269 Mycobacterium avium Complex A complex that includes several strains of M. avium. M. intracellulare is not easily distinguished from M. avium and therefore is included in the complex. These organisms are most frequently found in pulmonary secretions from persons with a tuberculous-like mycobacteriosis. Strains of this complex have also been associated with childhood lymphadenitis and AIDS; M. avium alone causes tuberculosis in a variety of birds and other animals, including pigs.
