In the crystal structure of the title compound, 2,4-diamino-5-(4-chloro­phen­yl)-6-ethyl­pyrimidin-1-ium 3-carb­oxy-4-hydroxy­benzene­sulfonate monohydrate, C12H14ClN4+·C7H5O6S−·H2O, the asymmetric unit contains two crystallographically independent protonated pyrimethamine (PMN) mol­ecules, a pair of sulfosalicylate anions and two water mol­ecules. Both the PMN molecules are protonated at one of the pyrimidine N atoms. The component species inter­act through numerous inter­molecular N—H⋯O, N—H⋯N and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C—H⋯O inter­actions.

In the title compound, 2,4-di­amino-5-(3,4,5-tri­methoxy­benzyl)­pyrimidinium hydrogen malonate, C14H19N4O3+·C3H3O4−, the trimethoprim mol­ecule is protonated at one of the pyrimidine N atoms. The carboxyl­ate group of the hydrogen malonate ion accepts a pair of N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds from an adjacent trimethoprim mol­ecule, which is similar to the carboxyl­ate–trimethoprim cation interaction present in the complex of di­hydro­folate reductase with trimethoprim. An O atom of the carboxyl group forms an intramolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond with the carboxyl­ate group, leading to a folded conformation for the hydrogen malonate ion. Each hydrogen malonate ion bridges two di­amino­pyrimidine cations, via N—H⋯O and C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, leading to a supramolecular ribbon made up of alternating cations and anions. Two such inversion-related ribbons are cross-linked by (amino)N—H⋯O(methoxy) hydrogen bonds, (pyrimidine)C—H⋯O(methoxy) hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking involving the benzene planes.
