Novel antifungal drugs are needed to combat multi-drug-resistant yeasts. This study aimed to synthesize a new series of 2-oxazolines and evaluate the ligands in vitro for the inhibition of six Candida species and in silico for affinity to the CYP51 enzymes (obtained with molecular modeling and protein homology) of the same species. The 5-(1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-4-tosyl-4,5-dihydrooxazoles 6a-j were synthesized using the Van Leusen reaction between 1,3-diphenyl-4-formylpyrazoles 4a-j and TosMIC 5 in the presence of K2CO3 or KOH without heating, resulting in short reaction times, high compound purity, and high yields. The docking studies revealed good affinity for the active site of the CYP51 enzymes of the Candida species in the following order: 6a-j &gt; 4a-j &gt; fluconazole (the reference drug). The in vitro testing of the compounds against the Candida species showed lower MIC values for 6a-j than 4a-j, and for 4a-j than fluconazole, thus correlating well with the in silico findings. According to growth rescue assays, 6a-j and 4a-j (like fluconazole) inhibit ergosterol synthesis. The in silico toxicity assessment evidenced the safety of compounds 6a-j, which merit further research as possible antifungal drugs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms25105091","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,7]],"date-time":"2024-05-07T11:00:10Z","timestamp":1715079610000},"page":"5091","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Synthesis, In Silico Study, and In Vitro Antifungal Activity of New 5-(1,3-Diphenyl-1H-Pyrazol-4-yl)-4-Tosyl-4,5-Dihydrooxazoles"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Neively","family":"Tlapale-Lara","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Qu\u00edmica Org\u00e1nica, Escuela Nacional de Ciencias Biol\u00f3gicas, Instituto Polit\u00e9cnico Nacional, Prol.
