Hydrogen-bonding patterns in 5-fluoro-cytosine-melamine co-crystal (4/1).

ABSTRACT: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, 4C4H4FN3O·C3H6N6, comprises of two independent 5-fluoro-cytosine (5FC) mol-ecules (A and B) and one half-mol-ecule of melamine (M). The other half of the melamine mol-ecule is generated by a twofold axis. 5FC mol-ecules A and B are linked through two different homosynthons [R 2 (2)(8) ring motif]; one is formed via a pair of N-H?O hydrogen bonds and the second via a pair of N-H?N hydrogen bonds. In addition to this pairing, the O atoms of 5FC mol-ecules A and B inter-act with the N2 amino group on both sides of the melamine mol-ecule, forming a DDAA array of quadruple hydrogen bonds and generating a supra-molecular pattern. The 5FC (mol-ecules A and B) and two melamine mol-ecules inter-act via N-H?O, N-H?N and N-H?O, N-H?N, C-H?F hydrogen bonds forming R 6 (6)(24) and R 4 (4)(15) ring motifs. The crystal structure is further strengthened by C-H?F, C-F?? and ?-? stacking inter-actions.

Project description:BackgroundTrimethoprim [2,4-diamino-5-(3',4',5'-trimethoxybenzyl)pyrimidine] is an antifolate drug. It selectively inhibits the bacterial dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) enzyme.ResultsIn the crystal structures of trimethoprim (TMP)-hydrogen phthalate (1) and trimethoprim-hydrogen adipate (2), one of the N atoms of the pyrimidine ring is protonated and it interacts with the deprotonated carboxylate oxygens through a pair of nearly parallel N-H...O hydrogen bonds to form a fork-like interaction. In the compound 1, the pyrimidine moieties of the TMP cations are centrosymmetrically paired through a pair of N-H...N hydrogen bonds involving 4-amino group and the N (N3) atom of the pyrimidine rings to form a 8-membered hydrogen bonded ring [R2(2)(8)]. The 4-amino group of one TMP moiety and 2-amino group of another TMP moiety (both moieties are members of a base pair) are bridged by the carbonyl oxygen of the phthalate moiety through N-H...O hydrogen bonds forming 8-membered hydrogen-bonded ring [R2(2)(8)]. The characteristic hydrogen-bonded rings observed in the structure aggregate into a supramolecular ladder consisting of a pair of chains, each of which is built up of alternate TMP and hydrogen phthalate ions. In the compound 2, two TMP cations and two hydrogen adipate anions are arranged about an inversion center so that the complementary DDAA (D = donor, A = acceptor) arrays of quadruple hydrogen-bonding patterns are formed. The head-to-tail arrangement of the hydrogen adipate ions leads to a hydrogen-bonded supramolecular chain. From crystal engineering point of view, it is interesting to note that the compound 1 has a hydrogen-bonded network remarkably identical with its aliphatic analogue, trimethoprim hydrogen maleate. Similarly the compound 2, resembles its homolog trimethoprim hydrogen glutarate.ConclusionIn the crystal structure of trimethoprim hydrogen phthalate, the hydrogen-bonded network is remarkably identical with its aliphatic analogue, trimethoprim hydrogen maleate. Similarly in the crystal structure of trimethoprim hydrogen adipate the hydrogen bonded network resembles its homolog trimethoprim hydrogen glutarate.
