`ABSTRACT
`[57]
`Novel substituted 2,4-diamino-5-benzyl pyrimidines are
`described. The novel substances have antimicrobial
`activity and are particularly suitable for inhibiting the
`growth of mycobacteria. Combined with inhibitors
`such as diaminodiphenylsulphones, ring-substituted
`4-aminodiphenylsulphones or ring and/or nitrogen-sub-
`stituted diaminodiphenylsulphones, they have a marked
`synergistic activity.
