Abstract
A convenient synthesis of (3R,3aS,6aR)-3-hydroxyhexahydrofuro[2,3-b]furan, a high-affinity nonpeptidal ligand for HIV protease inhibitor UIC-94017, is described. This inhibitor is undergoing advanced clinical trials. The synthesis utilizes a novel stereoselective photochemical 1,3-dioxolane addition to 5(S)-benzyloxymethyl-2(5H)-furanone as the key step. The requisite furanone derivative was prepared in high enantiomeric excess by an immobilized lipase-catalyzed selective acylation of (+/-)-1-(benzyloxy)-3-buten-2-ol and a ring-closing olefin metathesis with Grubbs' catalyst. Optically active bis-THF was converted to protease inhibitor 2 (UIC-94017).

Abstract
A series of aromatic/heterocyclic sulfonamides incorporating adamantyl moieties were prepared by reaction of aromatic/heterocyclic aminosulfonamides with the acyl chlorides derived from adamantyl-1-carboxylic acid and 1-adamantyl-acetic acid. Related derivatives were obtained from the above-mentioned aminosulfonamides with adamantyl isocyanate and adamantyl isothiocyanate, respectively. Some of these derivatives showed good inhibitory potency against two human CA isozymes involved in important physiological processes, CA I, and CA II, of the same order of magnitude as the clinically used drugs acetazolamide and methazolamide. The lipophilicity of the best CA inhibitors was determined and expressed as their experimental log k' IAM and theoretical ClogP value. Their lipophilicity was propitious with the crossing of the blood-brain barrier (log k' > IAM > 1.35). The anticonvulsant activity of some of the best CA inhibitors reported here has been evaluated in a MES test in mice. After intraperitoneal injection (30 mg kg(-1)), compounds A8 and A9 exhibited a high protection against electrically induced convulsions (> 90%). Their ED50 was 3.5 and 2.6 mg kg(-1), respectively.

Abstract
In this study, we report the synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of original pyridinic sulfonamides related to nimesulide, a cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) preferential inhibitor widely used as an anti-inflammatory agent. These original pyridinic derivatives were synthesized in three steps starting from the condensation of 3-bromo-4-nitropyridine N-oxide with appropriately substituted phenols, thiophenols, or anilines followed by a reduction of the nitro moiety into the corresponding aminopyridine, which was finally condensed with alkane- or trifluoromethanesulfonyl chloride to obtain the corresponding sulfonamides. The pK(a) determinations demonstrated that the major ionic form present in solution at physiological pH depends on the nature of the sulfonamide moiety subsituent. Indeed, alkanesulfonamides were mainly present as zwitterionic molecules while trifluoromethanesulfonamides, more acidic derivatives, were mainly present as anionic molecules. The in vitro pharmacological evaluation of the synthesized compounds against COX-1 and COX-2 was performed in a human whole blood model. Results obtained demonstrated that most of alkanesulfonamide derivatives displayed a COX-2 preferential inhibition with selectivity ratio values (IC(50)(COX-1)/IC(50)(COX-2)) up to 7.92 (celecoxib displaying a ratio value of 7.46 in the same test). On the other hand, trifluoromethanesulfonamide derivatives displayed weaker selectivity ratios although they exhibited IC(50) values against COX-2 up to 0.09 microM (celecoxib IC(50) against COX-2: 0.35 microM). Finally, in vivo evaluation of selected compounds showed that they exhibited anti-inflammatory properties similar to that of nimesulide when tested in a carrageenan-induced rat paw oedema model.

Abstract
A series of arylpiperazine- and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-based arylsulfonamides was synthesized and evaluated for their interactions with the constitutively active 5-HT7 receptor. Effects on basal adenylate cyclase activity were measured using HEK-293 cells expressing the rat 5-HT7. All ligands produced a decrease of adenylate cyclase activity, indicative of their inverse agonism. Additionally, computational studies with a set of 22 inverse agonists, including these novel inverse agonists and inverse agonists known from literature, resulted in a pharmacophore model and a CoMFA model (R2 = 0.97, SE = 0.18). Docking of inverse agonists at the binding site of a model of the helical parts of the 5-HT7 receptor, based on the alpha carbon template for 7-TM GPCRs, revealed interesting molecular interactions and a possible explanation for observed structure-activity relationships.

Abstract
A new series of 1-deoxy-1-[(6-(4-(substituted-aminosulfonyl)phenyl)amino)carbonylamino-9H-purin-9-yl]-N-ethyl-beta-D-ribofuranuronamides (83-102) have been synthesized and tested at the human A3 adenosine receptor subtype. All the derivatives described in this work displayed affinity versus this receptor in the nanomolar range and good selectivity versus A1 adenosine receptor subtype, confirming that the p-sulfonamido moiety positively affected the activity of the molecules. The best substituents at the sulfonamido nucleus were found to be small alkyl groups, like methyl, isopropyl, ethyl, or allyl moieties (compounds 96-100), whereas monosubstitution at the amino group led to a decrease in A3 affinity values. The selectivity versus A1 adenosine receptor subtype is increased when the amino group in the sulfonamido core is represented by a hydrogenated heterocyclic ring like piperidine, morpholine, or pyrroline. Bulky groups, like adamantane and alkyl chains with more than four carbon atoms, are detrimental for the affinity and the selectivity of the A3 adenosine receptor agonists described here.

Abstract
A series of sulfonamides incorporating 4-thioureido-benzolamide moieties have been prepared from aminobenzolamide and thiophosgene followed by the reaction of the thiocyanato intermediate with aliphatic/aromatic amines or hydrazines. The new derivatives have been investigated as inhibitors of the zinc enzyme carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1), and more precisely of the cytosolic isozymes hCA I and II, as well as the tumor-associated isozyme hCA IX (all of human origin). The new compounds showed excellent inhibitory properties against all three isozymes with inhibition constants in the range of 0.6-62 nM against hCA I, 0.5-1.7 nM against hCA II and 3.2-23 nM against hCA IX, respectively. These derivatives are interesting candidates for the development of novel therapies targeting hypoxic tumors.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of a range of human diseases arises from the aberrant activity of proteolytic enzymes. Agents capable of selectively modulating the activity of these enzymes are of potential therapeutic value. Thus, there is a continuing need for the design of scaffolds that can be used in the development of new classes of protease inhibitors. We describe herein the serendipitous discovery of an unexpected rearrangement that leads to the formation of two novel templates that can be used in the design of protease inhibitors.

Abstract
Several lines of evidence support the hypothesis that c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) play a critical role in a wide range of disease states including cell death (apoptosis)-related and inflammatory disorders (epilepsy, brain, heart and renal ischemia, neurodegenerative diseases, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and inflammatory bowel syndrome). The screening of a compound collection led to the identification of a 2-(benzoylaminomethyl)thiophene sulfonamide (AS004509, compound I) as a potent and selective JNK inhibitor. Chemistry and structure--activity relationship (SAR) studies performed around this novel kinase-inhibiting motif indicated that the left and central parts of the molecule were instrumental to maintaining potency at the enzyme. Accordingly, we investigated the JNK-inhibiting properties of a number of variants of the right-hand moiety of the molecule, which led to the identification of 2-(benzoylaminomethyl)thiophene sulfonamide benzotriazole (AS600292, compound 50a), the first potent and selective JNK inhibitor of this class which demonstrates a protective action against neuronal cell death induced by growth factor and serum deprivation.

Abstract
A random high-throughput screening (HTS) program to discover novel nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) has been carried out with MT-4 cells against a nevirapine-resistant virus, HIV-1(IIIB-R). The primary hit, a thiazolidenebenzenesulfonamide derivative, possessed good activity. A systematic modification program examining various substituents at the 3-, 4-, and 5-positions on the thiazole ring afforded compounds with enhanced anti-HIV-1 and reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitory activities. These results confirm the important role of the substituents at these positions and the thiazolidenebenzenesulfonamide motif as a valuable lead series for the next generation NNRTIs.

Abstract
We have prepared a series of aminopropyl controlled pore glass (CPG) particles that have been labeled with a solvatochromic fluorescent probe molecule (dansyl). We report on the behavior of the attached dansyl reporter as a function of dansyl-to-amine molar ratio (i.e., dansyl loading), solvent dipolarity, and surface-residue end capping. In these experiments, we systematically adjust the dansyl loading by 10(5); a range much larger than ever explored. The dansylated CPG particles were also end capped with trimethylchlorosilane to derivatize most of the residual silanol and/or aminopropyl groups. The attached dansyl molecules can be surrounded by other dansyl molecules; they can be distributed within an ensemble of sites with differing physicochemical properties, and/or they can be distributed in sites that are restrictive to dansyl motion and/or solvent inaccessible. At high dansyl loadings, the majority of the dansyl groups are solvated by other dansyl moieties and solvent does not significantly alter the local microenvironment surrounding the average dansyl molecule (i.e., the cybotactic region) to any significant level. At intermediate dansyl loadings, the average distance between the dansyl groups increases and solvent is able to access/solvate/wet the dansyl groups and alter their cybotactic region to a greater extent. At the lowest dansyl loadings studied, the results suggest that these dansyl moieties are localized within solvent inaccessible/restrictive SiO2 sites (e.g., small pores).

Abstract
Non-invasive measurement of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity in vivo is a clinical challenge in many disease processes such as inflammation, tumor metastasis and atherosclerosis. Therefore, radioiodinated analogues of the non-peptidyl broad-spectrum MMP inhibitor (MMPI) CGS 27023A 1a were synthesized for non-invasive detection of MMP activity in vivo using single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). The compounds Br-CGS 27023A 1b and HO-CGS 27023A 1d were synthesized from the amino acid D-valine and used as precursors for radioiodinated derivatives of CGS 27023A and their non-radioactive references I-CGS 27023A 1c and HO-I-CGS 27023A 1e. Radioiodination of the precursors with [(123)I]NaI or [(125)I]NaI produced the no-carrier-added MMP inhibitors [(123)I]I-CGS 27023A 1f, [(125)I]I-CGS 27023A 1g, HO-[(123)I]I-CGS27023A 1h, and HO-[(125)I]I-CGS 27023A 1i. In vitro studies showed that the non-radioactive analogues of the MMP inhibitors exhibited affinities against gelatinase A (MMP-2) and gelatinase B (MMP-9) in the nanomolar range, comparable to the parent compound CGS 27023A. In vivo biodistribution using HO-[(125)I]I-CGS 27023A 1i in CL57 Bl6 mice showed rapid blood and plasma clearance and low retention in normal tissues. The preliminary biological evaluation warrant further studies of these radioiodinated MMP inhibitors as potential new radiotracers for imaging MMP activity in vivo.

Abstract
A series of benzenesulfonamide derivatives incorporating triazine moieties in their molecules was obtained by reaction of cyanuric chloride with sulfanilamide, homosulfanilamide, or 4-aminoethylbenzenesulfonamide. The dichlorotriazinyl-benzenesulfonamides intermediates were subsequently derivatized by reaction with various nucleophiles, such as water, methylamine, or aliphatic alcohols (methanol and ethanol). The library of sulfonamides incorporating triazinyl moieties was tested for the inhibition of three physiologically relevant carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) isozymes, the cytosolic hCA I and II, and the transmembrane, tumor-associated hCA IX. The new compounds reported here inhibited hCA I with K(I)s in the range of 75-136nM, hCA II with K(I)s in the range of 13-278nM, and hCA IX with K(I)s in the range of 0.12-549nM. The first hCA IX-selective inhibitors were thus detected, as the chlorotriazinyl-sulfanilamide and the bis-ethoxytriazinyl derivatives of sulfanilamide/homosulfanilamide showed selectivity ratios for CA IX over CA II inhibition in the range of 166-706. Furthermore, some of these compounds have subnanomolar affinity for hCA IX, with K(I)s in the range 0.12-0.34nM. These derivatives are interesting candidates for the development of novel unconventional anticancer strategies targeting the hypoxic areas of tumors. Clear renal cell carcinoma, which is the most lethal urologic malignancy and is both characterized by very high CA IX expression and chemotherapy unresponsiveness, could be the leading candidate of such novel therapies.

Abstract
Among the 14 human isozymes of carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) presently known, the cytosolic hCA II is the most active and plays a host of physiological functions, whereas the mitochondrial hCA V is unique due to its role in several biosynthetic reactions. An inhibition study of these isozymes with a series of sulfonamides is reported here, with the scope to detect lead molecules for the design of isozyme-specific CA inhibitors (CAIs) targeting the mitochondrial isoform. Indeed, recently it has been shown that CA V is a novel target for the drug design of anti-obesity agents among others. Compounds included in this study were mainly ortho-, meta-, and para-substituted-benzenesulfonamides, together with several halogeno-substituted sulfanilamides and disubstituted-benzene-1,3-disulfonamide derivatives. Isozyme V showed an inhibition profile with these sulfonamides different of that of hCA II. Thus, IC(50) values in the range of 80 nM to 74 microM against hCA II, and 0.78-63.7 microM against hCA V with these derivatives have been obtained. Only one compound, 2-carboxymethyl-benzenesulfonamide, was more active against hCA V over hCA II (selectivity ratio of 1.39), whereas all other derivatives investigated here were much better hCA II inhibitors (selectivity ratios CA II/CA V in the range of 0.0008-0.73) than hCA V inhibitors.

Abstract
HCV NS5B RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (NS5B) is essential for viral replication and is therefore considered a target for antiviral drug development. From our ongoing screening effort in the search for new anti-HCV agents, a novel inhibitor 1 with low microM activity against the HCV NS5B polymerase was identified. SAR analysis indicated the optimal substitution pattern required for activity, for example, carboxylic acid group at 2-position of thiophene ring. We describe the steps taken to identify and solve the bioactive conformation of derivative 6 through the use of the transferred NOE method (trNOE).

The design of novel functionalized templates capable of binding to the active site of serine proteases could potentially lead to the development of potent and highly selective non-covalent inhibitors of these enzymes. Using the elastase-turkey ovomucoid inhibitor complex and insights gained from earlier work based on the 1,2,5-thiadiazolidin-3-one 1,1 dioxide scaffold (I), a surrogate cyclosulfamide scaffold (II) was used for the first time in the design of reversible inhibitors of human leukocyte elastase. Compounds 7 and 8 were found to be micromolar reversible inhibitors of the enzyme.

Abstract
Radiolabeled antimitotic agents [11C]T138067 and [18F]T138067 have been synthesized for evaluation as new potential positron emission tomography (PET) biomarkers for cancer imaging. In vivo biodistribution and micro-PET imaging of [11C]T138067 were performed in breast cancer animal models MCF-7 transfected with IL-1alpha implanted athymic mice and MDA-MB-435 implanted athymic mice. The results suggest that the uptakes of [11C]T138067 in both MCF-7 transfected with IL-1alpha tumor and MDA-MB-435 tumor are non-specific binding.

Abstract
[reaction: see text] A new P-chiral phosphine bis(sulfonamide) ligand has been developed that allows the Cu-catalyzed enantioselective conjugate addition of Et(2)Zn to acyclic aliphatic enones. The reactions proceed with excellent levels of enantioselectivity (90-95% ee) with a range of enone substrates, involve the use of only 1.2 equiv of Et(2)Zn, and give best results at ambient temperature.

Abstract
The sulfonamides constitute an important class of drugs, with several types of pharmacological agents possessing antibacterial, anti-carbonic anhydrase, diuretic, hypoglycemic, antithyroid and anticancer activity among others. A large number of structurally novel sulfonamide derivatives have ultimately been reported to show substantial antiviral activity in vitro and in vivo. The review summarizes recent classes of sulfonamides and related sulfonyl derivatives disclosed as effective such agents. Thus, at least some HIV protease inhibitors used clinically (amprenavir) or compounds in advanced clinical trials (tipranavir, TMC-126, TMC-114, etc.) possess sulfonamide moieties in their molecules, whereas a very large number of other derivatives are constantly being synthesized and evaluated in order to obtain compounds with less toxicity or activity against drug-resistant viruses. Several non nucleoside HIV reverse transcriptase or HIV integrase inhibitors containing sulfonamide groups were also reported. Another approach to inhibit the growth of retroviruses, including HIV, targets the ejection of zinc ions from critical zinc finger viral proteins, which has as a consequence the inhibition of viral replication in the absence of mutations leading to drug resistance phenotypes. Most compounds with antiviral activity possessing this mechanism of action incorporate in their molecules primary sulfonamide groups. Finally, some small molecule chemokine antagonists acting as HIV entry inhibitors also possess sulfonamide functionalities in their scaffold.

Abstract
A series of 11 new analogues of N-acylhomoserine lactones in which the carboxamide bond was replaced by a sulfonamide one, has been synthesised. These compounds were evaluated for their ability to competitively inhibit the action of 3-oxohexanoyl-L-homoserine lactone, the natural ligand of the quorum sensing transcriptional regulator LuxR, which in turn activates expression of bioluminescence in the model bacterium Vibrio fischeri. Several compounds were found to display antagonist activity. Molecular modeling suggests that the latter prevent a cascade of structural rearrangements necessary for the formation of the active LuxR dimer.

Abstract
Sulfonamide carbonic anhydrase (CA) inhibitors are widely employed in the diagnosis and treatment of diverse diseases such as glaucoma and different neuromuscular disorders. Moreover, an emerging area is represented by their use in the prevention and treatment of tumors. In this paper we propose an optimized synthesis of on-resin CA inhibitor libraries to be used for a high-throughput biological screening. A library of 4-sulfamoylphenylthioureas, previously described to be attractive candidates as novel antiglaucoma drugs, has been synthesized by a solid-phase approach, avoiding the formation of thiohydantoin side products. The on-resin screening assay has been developed for the inhibition tests of different CA isozymes with the on-resin supported sulfonamides, allowing the direct identification of the biologically active lead compounds. These results allow the development of new designed libraries in the solid phase of sulfonamide CA inhibitors characterized by a set of prefixed parameters to be used as possible drug candidates.

Abstract
There have been extensive efforts to develop I(Kr) channel blockers as a new antiarrhythmic agent for atrial or ventricular fibrillation, since it was demonstrated that selective blockade of the rapidly activating delayed rectifier K+ channel (I(Kr)) in the heart is not deleterious for the total mortality in fatal ventricular arrhythmia patients. Among them, dofetilide and KCB-328 blocks the I(Kr) specifically. Therefore, it increases the action potential duration (APD) selectively. Ibutilide, trecetilide, nifekalant, dronedarone, BRL-32872, H345/52 and ersentilide block the I(Kr). However, they modify also other cardiac channels or receptors. The frequency dependence of the compounds in prolonging the APD varies from the strong reversed tendency of dofetilide to the relatively neutral profile of KCB-328 and BRL-32872. Every compound reported so far has a proarrhythmic potential of torsade de pointes induction under certain conditions, although depending on the structure, the intensity may be somewhat different. In the coming decade, efforts to improve the reverse frequency dependence profile of the I(Kr) blockers by optimizing the onset and recovery time constant of the HERG block (e.g. KCB-328, vesnarinone) or the balance between the block of I(Kr) and Ca++ channels in the heart (e.g. BRL-32872, H 345/52) to eliminate the proarrhythmic potential of the currently known I(Kr) blockers are warranted. Further trials are also needed to discover more favorable compounds with multiple receptors including I(Kr) (e.g. nifekalant, dronedarone) for treating ventricular arrhythmias.
