Abstract
A series of eight 5-nitrofuran-tagged oxazolyl tetrahydropyrazolopyridines (THPPs) has been prepared in six stages with excellent regioselectivity. The testing of these compounds against pathogens of the ESKAPE panel showed a good activity of lead compound 1-(2-methoxyethyl)-5-(5-nitro-2-furoyl)-3-(1,3-oxazol-5-yl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-c] pyridine (13g), which is superior to nitrofurantoin. These results confirmed the benefit of combining a THPP scaffold with a nitrofuran warhead. Certain structure-activity relationships were established in the course of this study which were rationalized by the induced-fit docking experiments in silico.
