Abstract

NOC, NOC! Who's there? We have expanded the body of structure-activity relationships (SAR) regarding the 3-isoxazolecarboxylic acid ethyl esters by the design and synthesis of 5-aryl- and 5-[(N-aryl)amino]methyl analogues. Compounds were active against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) at sub-micromolar concentrations and, for selected compounds, no toxicity was observed on Vero cells.
