Novel pteridines of formula (I), ##STR1## wherein R is a lower alkyl group, optionally substituted with a hydroxy group and R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are the same or different and each is a lower alkyl group having together at least 3 carbon atoms or R.sup.1 and R.sup.2, together with the carbon atom in the pteridine ring structure, form a spirocycloalkyl ring system having 4 to 6 carbon atoms outside the pteridine ring structure, and their method of preparation. The above compounds have bacteriostatic activity.

A composition for testing or treating microbial systems or infections, comprising an effective potentiating amount of a microbial dihydropteridine antagonist, which itself inhibits hydroxymethyldihydropteridine pyrophospokinase and has a sufficiently low toxicity, in combination with an effective amount of a competitor of para-aminobenzoic acid or an inhibitor of dihydrofolate reductase or both, its method of preparation, and its use in the inhibition of the production of dihydrofolic acid by microorganisms under in vivo or in vitro conditions.
