“…Other examples include the synthetic pyrrolopyridine derivative diazarebeccamycin 2 is a potent anticancer agent [2], pyrrolo [2,3-c]pyridine 3 which has demonstrated activity as an inhibitor of HIV-1 attachment to CD4 + T cells [3] and pyrrolo [2,3-b]pyridine 4 is a potent p38 kinase inhibitor [4]. Pyrrolopyridines also posses significant biological applications such as antimicrobial [5][6][7][8][9], analgesic [10], antimalarial [11], antiproliferative [12], antihypertensive [13], cannabinoid activity [14,15] and Factor VIIa inhibitors [16]. As a result of our considerable interest in the synthesis of pyridine-containing compounds and their antimicrobial activity [17], we initiated a programme directed towards the synthesis of new pyrrolopyridine compounds.…”
