This work reports halogenated 5-(2-hydroxyphenyl)pyrazoles as pseudilin analogues with the potential to target the enzyme IspD in the methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway. Such analogues were designed using the bioisosteric replacement of the pseudilin core structure and synthesized via an efficient three-step route. WithAtIspD-based screening and pre- and post-emergence herbicidal tests, these compounds were demonstrated to have considerable activities againstAtIspD, with IC50up to 3.27 μM, and against model plants rape and barnyard grass, with moderate to excellent activities. At a rate of 150 g/ha in the greenhouse test, three compounds exhibited higher or comparable herbicidal activities than pseudilin. Molecular docking of representative compounds into the allosteric site ofAtIspD revealed a binding mode similar to that of pseudilin. The established bioisosterism and synthesis method in this work may serve as an important tool for the development of new herbicides and antimicrobials targeting IspD in the MEP pathway.
