A small set of twelve compounds of a nitrofuran carboxamide chemotype was elaborated from a readily available 2,6-diazaspiro[3.4]octane building block, exploring diverse variants of the molecular periphery, including various azole substituents. The in vitro inhibitory activities of the synthesized compounds were assessed against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv. As a result, a remarkably potent antitubercular lead displaying a minimal inhibitory concentration of 0.016 μg/mL was identified.
