Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors. Diazenylbenzenesulfonamides are potent and selective inhibitors of the tumor-associated isozymes IX and XII over the cytosolic isoforms I and II.
    Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry, 2009, Oct-15, Volume: 17, Issue:20

    A series of diazenylbenzenesulfonamides, azo-dye derivatives of sulfanilamide or metanilamide incorporating phenol and amine moieties, were tested for inhibition of the tumor-associated isozymes of carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1), CA IX and XII. These compounds showed moderate-low inhibitory activities against the cytosolic isoforms CA I and II (offtargets) and excellent, low nanomolar inhibitory activity against the transmembrane CA IX and XII (K(I)s in the range of 3.5-63 nM against CA IX and 5.0-69.4 nM against CA XII, respectively). The selectivity ratio for inhibiting the tumor-associated CA IX over the offtarget CA II was in the range of 15-104 for these diazenylbenzenesulfonamides, making them among the most isoform-selective inhibitors targeting tumor-associated CAs (over the ubiquitous CA II). Since CA IX/XII were recently shown to be both therapeutic and diagnostic targets for hypoxic solid tumors overexpressing these proteins, such compounds held promise for the management of hypoxic tumors, which are largely non-responsible to classical chemo- and radio-therapy.

Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors: bioreductive nitro-containing sulfonamides with selectivity for targeting the tumor associated isoforms IX and XII.
    Journal of medicinal chemistry, 2008, Jun-12, Volume: 51, Issue:11

    2-Substituted-5-nitro-benzenesulfonamides incorporating a large variety of secondary/tertiary amines were explored as inhibitors of the zinc enzyme carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1), with the aim of designing bioreductive inhibitors targeting the hypoxia overexpressed, tumor-associated isozymes. The compounds were ineffective inhibitors of the cytosolic isoform I, showed a better inhibition of the physiologically relevant CA II (KIs of 8.8-4975 nM), and strongly inhibited the tumor-associated CA IX and XII (KIs of 5.4-653 nM). Some of these compounds showed excellent selectivity ratios for the inhibition of the tumor-associated isozymes over the cytosolic ones (in the range of 10-1395). The X-ray crystal structure of the adduct of hCA II with the lead molecule 2-chloro-5-nitro-benzenesulfonamide as well as molecular modeling studies for interaction with hCA IX afforded a better understanding of factors governing the discrimination of the two isoforms for this type of bioreductive compound targeting specifically hypoxic tumors.

Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors. Inhibition of cytosolic isozyme XIII with aromatic and heterocyclic sulfonamides: a novel target for the drug design.
    Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 2004, Jul-16, Volume: 14, Issue:14

    The inhibition of the newly discovered cytosolic carbonic anhydrase isozyme XIII (CA XIII) has been investigated with a series of aromatic and heterocyclic sulfonamides, including some of the clinically used derivatives, such as acetazolamide, methazolamide, dichlorophenamide, dorzolamide, and valdecoxib. Inhibition data for the physiologically relevant isozymes I and II (cytosolic forms) and the tumor associated isozyme IX (transmembrane) were also provided for comparison. A very interesting and unusual inhibition profile against CA XIII with these sulfonamides has been observed. The clinically used compounds (except valdecoxib, which was a weak CA XIII inhibitor) potently inhibit CA XIII, with Ki's in the range of 17-23 nM, whereas sulfanilamide, halogenated sulfanilamides, homosulfanilamide, 4-aminoethylbenzenesulfonamide, and orthanilamide were slightly less effective, with Ki's in the range of 32-56 nM. Several low nanomolar (Ki's in the range of 1.3-2.4 nM) CA XIII inhibitors have also been detected, all of them belonging to the sulfanilyl-sulfonamide type of inhibitors, of which aminobenzolamide is the best known representative. Because CA XIII is an active isozyme predominantly expressed in salivary glands, kidney, brain, lung, gut, uterus, and testis, where it probably plays an important role in pH regulation, its inhibition by sulfonamides may lead to novel therapeutic applications for this class of pharmacological agents.

Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors: inhibition of the tumor-associated isozyme IX with aromatic and heterocyclic sulfonamides.
    Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 2003, Mar-24, Volume: 13, Issue:6

    The inhibition of the tumor-associated transmembrane carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX) isozyme has been investigated with a series of aromatic and heterocyclic sulfonamides, including the six clinically used derivatives acetazolamide, methazolamide, ethoxzolamide, dichlorophenamide, dorzolamide and brinzolamide. Inhibition data for the physiologically relevant isozymes I and II (cytosolic forms) and IV (membrane-bound) were also provided for comparison. A very interesting and unusual inhibition profile against CA IX with these sulfonamides has been observed. Several nanomolar (K(I)-s in the range of 14-50 nM) CA IX inhibitors have been detected, both among the aromatic (such as orthanilamide, homosulfonilamide, 4-carboxy-benzenesulfonamide, 1-naphthalenesulfonamide and 1,3-benzenedisulfonamide derivatives) as well as the heterocylic (such as 1,3,4-thiadizole-2-sulfonamide, etc.) sulfonamides examined. Because CA IX is a highly active isozyme predominantly expressed in tumor tissues with poor prognosis of disease progression, this finding is very promising for the potential design of CA IX-specific inhibitors with applications as anti-tumor agents.
