Amination of 5‐chloro‐6‐nitro‐2,4‐quinazolinediamine ( 2 ) afforded 6‐nitro‐2,4,5‐quinazolinetriamine ( 3 ) which was hydrogenated catalytically to produce 2,4,5,6‐quinazolinetetraamine ( 5 ). Condensation of 5 with the requisite diketones afforded 8,9,10,11‐tetrahydropyrimido[5,4‐ a ]‐phenazine‐1,3‐diamine ( 6 ), several pyrazino[2,3‐ f ]quinazoline‐8,10‐diamines ( 7–10,13 ) as well as two pyrimido[4,5‐ f ]phenazinediamines ( 11,12 ). Amination of 2 in the presence of formamide at 120° led to the formation of 9‐nitro‐1 H ‐pyrimido[4,5,6‐ de ]quinazolin‐5‐amine ( 4 ). None of these compounds showed suppressive activity when tested parenterally against lethal Plasmodium berghei infections in mice. When tested against various bacteria in vitro , 7 and 10 exhibited activity against Streptococcus faecalis at a concentration below 2.5 μg./ml.
