Tetrazole carboxylic acid bioisosteres of gamma-linked dipeptide derivatives of 2-desamino-2-methyl-N-10-propargyl-5,8-dideazafolic acid (ICI 198583), a folate-based inhibitor of thymidylate synthase (TS), were synthesised by multistep routes starting from the appropriate pteroic acid analogue and Z-D-Ala or D-Glu. They exhibited excellent TS inhibitory activities which, however, were not accompanied by a parallel improvement in the L1210 cell growth inhibition.
