Mur ligases catalyze the biosynthesis of the UDP-MurNAc-pentapeptide precursor of peptidoglycan, an essential polymer of bacterial cell-wall. They constitute attractive targets for the development of novel antibacterial agents. Here we report on the synthesis of a series of 2,4-diaminoquinazolines, quinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-diones
