Abstract
The differential scanning fluorimetry (DSF) screening of 5.692 fragments in combination with benzenesulfonamide (BSA) against bovine carbonic anhydrase (bCA) delivered >100 hits that either caused, on their own, a significant thermal shift (ΔTm, °C) in the protein melting temperature or significantly influenced the thermal shift observed for BSA alone. Three hits based on 1,2,3-triazole moiety represent the periphery of the recently reported potent inhibitors of hCA II, IX and XII which were efficacious in vivo. Such a re-discovery of suitable BSA periphery essentially validates the new fragment-based approach to the discovery of future CAIs. Structures of other validated fragment hits are reported.

Abstract
A series of novel calix[4]azacrown substituted sulphonamide Schiff bases was synthesised by the reaction of calix[4]azacrown aldehydes with different substituted primary and secondary sulphonamides. The obtained novel compounds were investigated as inhibitors of six human (h) isoforms of carbonic anhydrases (CA, EC 4.2.1.1). Their antioxidant profile was assayed by various bioanalytical methods. The calix[4]azacrown substituted sulphonamide Schiff bases were also investigated as inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) and tyrosinase enzymes, associated with several diseases such as Alzheimer, Parkinson, and pigmentation disorders. The new sulphonamides showed low to moderate inhibition against hCAs, AChE, BChE, and tyrosinase enzymes. However, some of them possessed relevant antioxidant activity, comparable with standard antioxidants used in the study.

Abstract
Human carbonic anhydrase I and II isoenzymes (hCA I and II) are important metabolic enzymes. In this study, a new series of thiazol-(2(3H)-ylideneamino)benzenesulfonamide derivatives were synthesized and also some inhibition parameters including IC50 (hydratese) and inhibition constant values (Ki , esterase) were determined. All studied compounds exhibited potent inhibition against these enzymes. They inhibited carbonic anhydrases (CAs) with the IC50 values of 113 to 395.8 nM (Ki = 77.38-319.59 nM) for hCA I and 91.9 to 516 nM (Ki = 62.79-425.89 nM) for hCA II. Among the compounds, 5c was found to be the most active one (Ki : 77.38 nM) for hCA I and 5g was found for hCA II with the value of 62.79 nM.

Abstract
Pursuing on our efforts toward searching for efficient hCA IX and hCA XII inhibitors, herein we report the design and synthesis of new sets of benzofuran-based sulphonamides (4a,b, 5a,b, 9a-c, and 10a-d), featuring the zinc anchoring benzenesulfonamide moiety linked to a benzofuran tail via a hydrazine or hydrazide linker. All the target benzofurans were examined for their inhibitory activities toward isoforms hCA I, II, IX, and XII. The target tumour-associated hCA IX and XII isoforms were efficiently inhibited with KIs spanning in ranges 10.0-97.5 and 10.1-71.8 nM, respectively. Interestingly, arylsulfonehydrazones 9 displayed the best selectivity toward hCA IX and XII over hCA I (SIs: 39.4-250.3 and 26.0-149.9, respectively), and over hCA II (SIs: 19.6-57.1 and 13.0-34.2, respectively). Furthermore, the target benzofurans were assessed for their anti-proliferative activity, according to US-NCI protocol, toward a panel of sixty cancer cell lines. Only benzofurans 5b and 10b possessed selective and moderate growth inhibitory activity toward certain cancer cell lines.

Abstract
Phialophora verrucosa causes several fungal human diseases, mainly chromoblastomycosis, which is extremely difficult to treat. Several studies have shown that human immunodeficiency virus peptidase inhibitors (HIV-PIs) are attractive candidates for antifungal therapies. This work focused on studying the action of HIV-PIs on peptidase activity secreted by P. verrucosa and their effects on fungal proliferation and macrophage interaction. We detected a peptidase activity from P. verrucosa able to cleave albumin, sensitive to pepstatin A and HIV-PIs, especially lopinavir, ritonavir and amprenavir, showing for the first time that this fungus secretes aspartic-type peptidase. Furthermore, lopinavir, ritonavir and nelfinavir reduced the fungal growth, causing remarkable ultrastructural alterations. Lopinavir and ritonavir also affected the conidia-macrophage adhesion and macrophage killing. Interestingly, P. verrucosa had its growth inhibited by ritonavir combined with either itraconazole or ketoconazole. Collectively, our results support the antifungal action of HIV-PIs and their relevance as a possible alternative therapy for fungal infections.

Abstract
A series of amino acid-sulphonamide conjugates was prepared through benzotriazole mediated coupling reactions and characterised by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, MS, and FTIR spectroscopic techniques as well as elemental analysis. The carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) inhibitory activity of the new compounds was determined against four human (h) isoforms, hCA I, hCA II, hCA VA, and hCA XII. Most of the synthesised compounds showed effective in vitro CA inhibitory properties. The new amino acid-sulphonamide conjugates showed potent inhibitory activity against hCA II, some of them at subnanomolar levels, exhibiting more effective inhibitory activity compared to the standard drug acetazolamide. Some of these sulphonamides were also found to be effective inhibitors of hCA I, hCA VA, and hCA XII, with activity from the low to high nanomolar range.

Abstract
The emergence of tumour recurrence and resistance limits the survival rate for most tumour-bearing patients. Only, combination therapies targeting pathways involved in the induction and in the maintenance of cancer growth and progression might potentially result in an enhanced therapeutic efficacy. Herein, we provided a prospective combination treatment that includes suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA), a well-known inhibitor of histone deacetylases (HDACs), and SLC-0111, a novel inhibitor of carbonic anhydrase (CA) IX. We proved that HDAC inhibition with SAHA in combination with SLC-0111 affects cell viability and colony forming capability to greater extent than either treatment alone of breast, colorectal and melanoma cancer cells. At the molecular level, this therapeutic regimen resulted in a synergistically increase of histone H4 and p53 acetylation in all tested cell lines. Overall, our findings showed that SAHA and SLC-0111 can be regarded as very attractive combination providing a potential therapeutic strategy against different cancer models.

Abstract
Sulphonamides are biologically important compounds with low toxicity, many bioactivities and cost-effectiveness. Eight sulphonamide derivatives were synthesised and characterised by FT-IR, 13C NMR, 1H NMR, LC-MS and elemental analysis. Their inhibitory effect on AChE, and carbonic anhydrase I and II enzyme activities was investigated. Their antioxidant activity was determined using different bioanalytical assays such as radical scavenging tests with ABTS•+, and DPPH•+ as well as metal-reducing abilities with CUPRAC, and FRAP assays. All compounds showed satisfactory enzyme inhibitory potency in nanomolar concentrations against AChE and CA isoforms with KI values ranging from 10.14 ± 0.03 to 100.58 ± 1.90 nM. Amine group containing derivatives showed high metal reduction activity and about 70% ABTS radical scavenging activity. Due to their antioxidant activity and AChE inhibition, these novel compounds may be considered as leads for investigations in neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Triple-negative breast cancer is the most aggressive form of breast cancer with limited intervention options. Moreover, a number of belligerent therapeutic strategies adopted to treat such aggressive forms of cancer have demonstrated detrimental side effects. This necessitates exploration of targeted chemotherapeutics. We assessed the efficacy of a novel indenone derivative (nID) [(±)-N-(2-(-5-methoxy-1-oxo-3-(2-oxo-2-phenylethyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-2-yl)ethyl)-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide], synthesized by a novel internal nucleophile-assisted palladium-catalyzed hydration-olefin insertion cascade; against triple-negative breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231). On 24 h treatment, the nID caused decline in the viability of MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 cells, but did not significantly (P < 0.05) affect WRL-68 (epithelial-like) cells. In fact, the nID demonstrated augmentation of p53 expression, and consequent p53-dependent senescence in both MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 cells, but not in WRL-68 cells. The breast cancer cells also exhibited reduced proliferation, downregulated p65/NF-κB and survivin, along with augmented p21Cip1/WAF1 expression, on treatment with the nID. This ensued cell cycle arrest at G1 stage, which might have driven the MDA-MB-231 cells to senescence. We observed a selectivity of the nID to target MDA-MB-231 cells, whereas WRL-68 cells did not show any considerable effect. The results underscored that the nID has potential to be developed into a cancer therapeutic.

Abstract
Glutamatergic N-Methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are heterotetrameric ion channels that can be comprised of different subunits. GluN2A subunit-containing NMDA receptors are associated with diseases like anxiety, depression, and schizophrenia. However, the exact contribution of these NMDA receptor subtypes is still unclear. To understand better the role of the GluN2A-containing receptors, novel ligands were designed. In co-crystallization with the isolated binding site, TCN-201 (1) and analogs adopt a U-shape conformation with parallel orientation of rings A and B. In order to increase the π/π-interactions between these rings, ring B of TCN-201 was replaced bioisosterically by different electron-rich thiazole, oxazole, and isoxazole heterocycles. The inhibitory activity was measured by two-electrode voltage clamp experiments with Xenopus laevis oocytes expressing GluN2A-containing NMDA receptors. It was found that 21c, 31a, 37a, and 37b were able to inhibit the ion channel. The isoxazole derivative 37b was the most potent negative allosteric modulator displaying 40% of the TCN-201 activity at a concentration of 10 μM.

Abstract
Many synthetic compounds to which we attribute specific activities are produced as racemic mixtures of stereoisomers, and it may be that all the desired activity comes from a single enantiomer. We have previously shown this to be the case with the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor positive allosteric modulator (PAM) 3a,4,5,9b-Tetrahydro-4-(1-naphthalenyl)-3H-cyclopentan[c]quinoline-8-sulfonamide (TQS) and the α7 ago-PAM 4BP-TQS. Cis-trans-4-(2,3,5,6-tetramethylphenyl)-3a,4,5,9b-te-trahydro-3H-cyclopenta[c]quinoline-8-sulfonamide (2,3,5,6TMP-TQS), previously published as a "silent allosteric modulator" and an antagonist of α7 allosteric activation, shares the same scaffold with three chiral centers as the aforementioned compounds. We isolated the enantiomers of 2,3,5,6TMP-TQS and determined that the (-) isomer was a significantly better antagonist than the (+) isomer of the allosteric activation of both wild-type α7 and the nonorthosterically activatible C190A α7 mutant by the ago-PAM GAT107 (the active isomer of 4BP-TQS). In contrast, (+)2,3,5,6TMP-TQS proved to be an α7 PAM. (-)2,3,5,6TMP-TQS was shown to antagonize the allosteric activation of α7 by the structurally unrelated ago-PAM B-973B as well as the allosteric activation of the TQS-sensitive α4β2L15'M mutant. In silico docking of 2,3,5,6TMP-TQS in the putative allosteric activation binding site suggested a specific interaction of the (-) enantiomer with α7T106, and allosteric activation of α7T106 mutants was not inhibited by (-)2,3,5,6TMP-TQS, confirming the importance of this interaction and supporting the model of the allosteric binding site. Comparisons and contrasts between 2,3,5,6TMP-TQS isomers and active and inactive enantiomers of other TQS-related compounds identify the orientation of the cyclopentenyl ring to the plane of the core quinoline to be a crucial determinate of PAM activity. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Many synthetic ligands are in use as racemic preparations. We show that one enantiomer of the TQS analog Cis-trans-4-(2,3,5,6-tetramethylphenyl)-3a,4,5,9b-te-trahydro-3H-cyclopenta[c]quinoline-8-sulfonamide, originally reported to lack activity when used as a racemic preparation, is an α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor positive allosteric modulator (PAM). The other enantiomer is not a PAM, but it is an effective allosteric antagonist. In silico studies and structural comparisons identify essential elements of both the allosteric ligands and receptor binding sites important for these allosteric activities.

Abstract
A series of ethacrynic acid (2-[2,3-dichloro-4-(2-methylidenebutanoyl)phenoxy]acetic acid) (EA, Edecrin) containing sulfonamides linked via three types of linkers namely 1,2-ethylenediamine, piperazine and 4-aminopiperidine was synthesized and subsequently evaluated in vitro against HL60 and HCT116 cancer cell lines. All the EA analogs, excluding 6a and 6c, showed anti-proliferative activity with IC50s in the micromolar range (less than 4 uM). Three derivatives 6b, 7b and 7e were selected for their interesting dual activity on HL60 cell line in order to be further evaluated against a panel of cancer cell lines (HCT116, A549, MCF7, PC3, U87-MG and SKOV3) as well as on MRC5 as a normal cell line. These compounds displayed IC50 values in nanomolar range against A549, MCF7, PC3 and HCT116 cell lines, deducing the discovery that piperazine or 4-aminopiperidine is the linker's best choice to develop EA analogs with highly potent anti-proliferative activities own up to 24 nM. Besides, in terms of selectivity, those linkers are more suitable offering safety ratios of up to 63.8.

Abstract
The diverse biological activities of nitrogen-containing compounds make the construction of the C-N bond of great importance. As N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide, one of the most abundant chemical feedstock, has a dual behaviour, i.e. as an electrophilic fluorination and amidation source, it attracts the attention of synthetic chemists for exploitation. This review comprehensively summarizes the significant progress of the efficient and mild amidation reactions, with an emphasis on approaches for the generation of nitrogen-centered intermediates, related mechanisms and new synthetic chemistry methods that offer opportunities to overcome obstacles in pharmaceutical applications. In this perspective, we discuss the developments in the amidation reaction using NFSI in the past decade. We discuss the recent progress, challenges and future outcomes in the area of amidation chemistry using commercially available NFSI.

Abstract
Lipid metabolism in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) relies on 34 fatty acid adenylating enzymes (FadDs) that can be grouped into two classes: fatty acyl-CoA ligases (FACLs) involved in lipid and cholesterol catabolism and long chain fatty acyl-AMP ligases (FAALs) involved in biosynthesis of the numerous essential and virulence-conferring lipids found in Mtb. The precise biochemical roles of many FACLs remain poorly characterized while the functionally non-redundant FAALs are much better understood. Here we describe the systematic investigation of 5'-O-[N-(alkanoyl)sulfamoyl]adenosine (alkanoyl adenosine monosulfamate, alkanoyl-AMS) analogs as potential multitarget FadD inhibitors for their antitubercular activity and biochemical selectivity towards representative FAAL and FACL enzymes. We identified several potent compounds including 12-azidododecanoyl-AMS 28, 11-phenoxyundecanoyl-AMS 32, and nonyloxyacetyl-AMS 36 with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) against M. tuberculosis ranging from 0.098 to 3.13 μM. Compound 32 was notable for its impressive biochemical selectivity against FAAL28 (apparent Ki = 0.7 μM) versus FACL19 (Ki > 100 μM), and uniform activity against a panel of multidrug and extensively drug-resistant TB strains with MICs ranging from 3.13 to 12.5 μM in minimal (GAST) and rich (7H9) media. The SAR analysis provided valuable insights for further optimization of 32 and also identified limitations to overcome.

Abstract
A series of new solid esters was synthesized by using greener chemistry strategy involving simple reaction of an alcohol with sulfonamide ligand. Characterization study of these methyl (1), ethyl (2) isopropyl (3) and n-butyl (4) ester of 4-((4-chlo-rophenylsulfonamido)methyl)cyclohexanecarboxylic acid was done by using FTIR, NMR mass spectrometry and X-ray crystallography. The compounds were optimized with Gaussian software according to basis set B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) and their different parameters related to structure were calculated. Furthermore, all compounds of the series were screened for their in vitro biological applications involving anti-bacterial (Chromohalobactor salixgens, Halomonas halofila, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, and Shiegella sonnei), anti-fungal (Aspergillus niger), anti-oxidant (DPPH scavenging activity) and enzyme inhibition (acetylcholine esterase and butyrylcholine esterase) study. Sulfonamide based esters were also docked against selected enzymes (AChE and BChE) using MOE software for their mode of binding. Results obtained from these biological evaluations showed that such compounds have potential against targeted activity.

Abstract
Supported molybdic acid on nano-Fe3O4@TiO2 (Fe3O4@TiO2@(CH2)3OMoO3H) has been successfully prepared, char-acterized and applied as a catalyst for the synthesis of sulfonamide containing coumarin moieties. The prepared Fe3O4nanoparticles by coprecipitation of Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions were treated with tetraethyl orthotitanate to obtain Fe3O4@TiO2. By anchoring 3-chloropropyltriethoxysilan on Fe3O4@TiO2 followed by reacting with molybdic acid, the desired catalyst was produced. The synthesized catalyst was characterized using XRD, SEM, EDS, FT-IR and VSM analysis. Fe3O4@TiO2@(CH2)3OMoO3H was used as a catalyst for the synthesis of sulfonamide containing coumarin moieties via a three-com-ponent reaction of aryl aldehydes, para-toluenesulfonamide and 4-hydroxycoumarin or 5,7-dihydroxy-4-methylcou-marin. The catalyst recovery test showed the catalyst is highly reusable without losing its activity.

Abstract
Two azobenzenesulfonamide molecules with thermally stable cis configurations resulting from fluorination of positions ortho to the azo group are reported that can differentially regulate the activity of carbonic anhydrase in the trans and cis configurations. These fluorinated probes each use two distinct visible wavelengths (520 and 410 or 460 nm) for isomerization with high photoconversion efficiency. Correspondingly, the cis isomer of these systems is highly stable and persistent (as evidenced by structural studies in solid and solution state), permitting regulation of metalloenzyme activity without continuous irradiation. Herein, we use these probes to demonstrate the visible light mediated bidirectional control over the activity of zinc-dependent carbonic anhydrase in solution as an isolated protein, in intact live cells and in vivo in zebrafish during embryo development.

Abstract
The botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) is the most lethal protein known to man causing the deadly disease botulinum. The neurotoxin, composed of a heavy (HC) and light (LC) chain, work in concert to cause muscle paralysis. A therapeutic strategy to treat individuals infected with the neurotoxin is inhibiting the catalytic activity of the BoNT LC. We report the synthesis, inhibition study and computational docking analysis of novel small molecule BoNT/A LC inhibitors. A structure activity relationship study resulted in the discovery of d-isoleucine functionalized with a hydroxamic acid on the C-terminal and a biphenyl with chlorine at C- 2 connected by a sulfonamide linker at the N-terminus. This compound has a measured IC50 of 0.587 µM for the BoNT/A LC. Computational docking analysis indicates the sulfonamide linker adopts a geometry that is advantageous for binding to the BoNT LC active site. In addition, Arg363 is predicted to be involved in key binding interactions with the scaffold in this study.

Abstract
A series of potent HIV-1 protease inhibitors, containing diverse piperidine analogues as the P2-ligands, 4-substituted phenylsulfonamides as the P2'-ligands and a hydrophobic cyclopropyl group as the P1'-ligand, were designed, synthesized and evaluated in this work. Among these twenty-four target compounds, many of them exhibited excellent activity against HIV-1 protease with half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values below 20 nM. Particularly, compound 22a containing a (R)-piperidine-3-carboxamide as the P2-ligand and a 4-methoxylphenylsulfonamide as the P2'-ligand exhibited the most effective inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 3.61 nM. More importantly, 22a exhibited activity with inhibition of 42% and 26% against wild-type and Darunavir (DRV)-resistant HIV-1 variants, respectively. Additionally, the molecular docking of 22a with HIV-1 protease provided insight into the ligand-binding properties, which was of great value for further study.

Abstract
Herein, we describe the design and synthesis of new benzenesulfonamide derivatives as selective COX-2 inhibitors based on bumetanide scaffold. Benzenesulfonamides bearing both the pyrazole 6b and the triazoles 9a, 9c were good inhibitors of COX-2 with IC50 values of 0.32, 0.28 and 0.17 µM, respectively. These benzenesulfonamides 6b, 9a and 9c exhibited a higher selectivity index than the reference drug celecoxib. Molecular modeling study showed that incorporation of bumetanide led to a unique binding mode that is most likely the reason for the observed significant COX-2 selectivity. The anti-inflammatory activity of synthesized compounds revealed that triazoles 9a and 9c demonstrated higher efficacy than celecoxib upon using in vivo carrageenan-induced rat paw edema model. Most of the prepared compounds possess low ulcerogenic potential when administered orally. Therefore, these compounds have a great potential to be developed as safe therapeutics for inflammation, pain, and other diseases where COX-2 plays important role in their pathophysiology.

Abstract
Some metabolic enzyme inhibitors can be used in the treatment of many diseases. Therefore, synthesis and determination of alternative inhibitors are essential. In this study, the inhibition effect of newly synthesized compounds on carbonic anhydrase (cytosolic isoforms, hCA I and hCA II), α-glycosidase (α-GLY), and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) were investigated. The possible binding mechanism of the compounds with a high inhibitory effect on the active site of the enzyme was demonstrated by molecular docking method. We investigated the inhibition effects of novel synthesized compounds (MZ1-MZ11) on metabolic enzymes such as α-GLY, AChE, and hCA I and II. The compound MZ6 for AChE, MZ8 for CA I and CA II and MZ7 for α-GLY showed a very active inhibition profile (KIs 51.67 ± 4.76 for hCA I, 40.35 ± 5.74 nM for hCA II, 41.74 ± 8.08 nM for α-GLY and 335.76 ± 46.91 nM for AChE). The novel synthesized compounds (MZ1-MZ11) have a higher enzyme (α-GLY, AChE, hCA I, and II) inhibitory potential than ACR, TAC, and AZA, respectively. The compounds may have the potential to be used as alternative medicines after further research in the treatment of many diseases such as diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, heart failure, ulcer, and epilepsy.

Abstract
The designed bi-heterocyclic sulfonamides were synthesized through a two-step protocol and their structures were ascertained by spectral techniques including IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR along with CHN analysis. The in vitro inhibitory effects of these sulfonamides were evaluated against tyrosinase and kinetics mechanism was analyzed by Lineweaver-Burk plots. The binding modes of these molecules were ascribed through molecular docking studies. These synthesized bi-heterocyclic molecules were identified as potent inhibitors relative to the standard (kojic acid) and compound 5 inhibited the tyrosinase non-competitively by forming an enzyme-inhibitor complex. The inhibition constant Ki (0.09 µM) for compound 5 was calculated from Dixon plots. Computational results also displayed that all compounds possessed good binding profile against tyrosinase and interacted with core residues of target protein.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrase-IX (CA-IX) is a zinc enzyme overexpressed in the hypoxic regions of many types of solid tumors; therefore, in vivo imaging of CA-IX may contribute to cancer diagnosis. In this study, we newly designed and synthesized an 111In-labeled CA-IX imaging agent based on an imidazothiadiazole sulfonamide (IS) scaffold conjugated with a chelating moiety, DO3A ([111In]DO3A-IS1), and evaluated its utility for imaging of CA-IX high-expressing tumors. [111In]DO3A-IS1 was successfully synthesized at a 76% radiochemical yield by reacting its precursor with 111InCl3 in acetate buffer. In in vitro assays, [111In]DO3A-IS1 showed marked stability in murine plasma and greater binding to CA-IX high-expressing (HT-29) cells (118 ± 21% initial dose/mg protein) than CA-IX low-expressing (MDA-MB-231) cells (1.4 ± 0.3% initial dose/mg protein). Moreover, in an in vivo biodistribution assay, [111In]DO3A-IS1 showed marked accumulation in the HT-29 tumor (8.71 ± 1.41% injected dose/g at 24 h postinjection). In addition, in a single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) study, [111In]DO3A-IS1 clearly and selectively visualized the HT-29 tumor as compared with the MDA-MB-231 tumor. These results indicate that [111In]DO3A-IS1 may serve as a useful SPECT imaging agent with the novel scaffold targeting CA-IX.
