Novel thiazolotriazole and triazolothiadiazine scaffolds as selective tumor associated carbonic anhydrase inhibitors endowed with cathepsin B inhibition. Arch Pharm (Weinheim) 2024:e2400366. [PMID: 38991221 DOI: 10.1002/ardp.202400366] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2024] [Revised: 06/21/2024] [Accepted: 06/24/2024] [Indexed: 07/13/2024]
Abstract
The present research focused on the tail-approach synthesis of novel extended thiazolotriazoles (8a-8j) and triazolothiadiazines (11a-11j) including aminotriazole intermediate 10. After successful synthesis, all the compounds were evaluated for their inhibition potential against cytosolic isoforms of human carbonic anhydrase (hCA I, II), tumor-linked transmembrane isoforms (hCA IX, XII), and cathepsin B. As per the inhibition data, the newly synthesized compounds showed poor inhibition against hCA I. Many of the compounds showed effective inhibition toward hCA IX and/or XII in low nanomolar concentration. Despite the strong to moderate inhibition of hCA II by these compounds, more than half of them demonstrated better inhibition against hCA IX and/or XII, comparatively. Further, insights of CA inhibition data of these extended analogs and their comparison with earlier reported thiazolotriazole and triazolothiadiazine derivatives might help in the rational design of novel potent and selective hCA IX and XII inhibitors. The novel compounds were also found to possess anti-cathepsin B potential at a low concentration of 10-7 M. Broadly, compounds of series 11a-11j presented more effective inhibition against cathepsin B than their counterparts in series 8a-8j. Moreover, these in vitro results with respect to cathepsin B inhibition were also supported by the in silico insights obtained via molecular modeling studies.

Abstract
Herein, we report the design and synthesis of a library of 28 new 1,2,3-triazole derivatives bearing carboxylic acid and ester moieties as dual inhibitors of carbonic anhydrase (CA) and cathepsin B enzymes. The synthesised compounds were assayed in vitro for their inhibition potential against four human CA (hCA) isoforms, I, II, IX and XII. The carboxylic acid derivatives displayed low micromolar inhibition against hCA II, IX and XII in contrast to the ester derivatives. Most of the target compounds showed poor inhibition against the hCA I isoform. 4-Fluorophenyl appended carboxylic acid derivative 6c was found to be the most potent inhibitor of hCA IX and hCA XII with a KI value of 0.7 μM for both the isoforms. The newly synthesised compounds showed dual inhibition towards CA as well as cathepsin B. The ester derivatives exhibited higher % inhibition at 10-7 M concentration as compared with the corresponding carboxylic acid derivatives against cathepsin B. The results from in silico studies of the target compounds with the active site of cathepsin B were found in good correlation with the in vitro results. Moreover, two compounds, 5i and 6c, showed cytotoxic activity against A549 lung cancer cells, with IC50 values lower than 100 μM.

Abstract
Novel 1,2,3-triazole benzenesulfonamide derivatives were designed as inhibitors for the tumor- related hCA IX and XII isoforms. Most of the synthesized compounds showed good inhibitory activity against hCA IX and hCA XII isoforms. Compounds 4d, 5h and 6b, exhibited remarkable activity as hCA IX inhibitors, with Ki values in the range of 0.03 to 0.06 µM, more potent than AAZ. Additionally, compounds 5b and 6d, efficiently inhibited hCA XII isoform, with Ki value of 0.02 µM, respectively, similar to AAZ. Further investigation for those potent derivatives against MCF-7, Hep-3B and WI-38 cell lines was achieved. Compounds 4d and 6d exerted dual cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 and Hep-3B cell lines, with IC50 values of 3.35 & 2.12 µM against MCF-7 cell line and 1.72 & 1.56 µM against Hep-3B cell line, with high SI values ranged from 8.92 to 17.38 on both of the cell lines. Besides, they showed a high safety profile against normal human cell line, WI-38. Moreover, compound 5h had better cytotoxic effect on MCF-7 than the reference, DOX, with IC50 value of 4.02 µM. While, compounds 5b and 6b showed higher activity against Hep-3B if compared to the reference drug, 5-FU. From ADME study, compounds 4d, 5b, 6b and 6d obeyed Lipinski's rule of five, and they might be orally active derivatives, while, compound 5h exerted less oral bioavailability than the reference standard acetazolamide. Molecular docking and MDS studies predicted the binding mode and the stability of the target compounds inside hCA IX and hCA XII active sites, especially for compounds 5b and 6b.

Abstract
Twenty-one novel extended analogs of acetazolamide were synthesized and screened in vitro for their inhibition efficacy against human carbonic anhydrase (hCA) isoforms I, II, IX, XII, and cathepsin B. The majority of the compounds were found to be effective inhibitors of tumor-associated hCA IX and XII, and poor inhibitors of cytosolic hCA I. Despite the strong to moderate inhibition potential possessed by these compounds toward another cytosolic isoform hCA II, some of them demonstrated better potency against hCA IX and/or XII isoforms as compared to hCA II. Four compounds (11f, 11g, 12c, and 12g) effectively inhibited hCA IX and/or XII isoforms with considerable selectivity over the off-targets hCA I and II. Interestingly, five compounds, including 11f, 11g, 12c, 12d, and 12g, inhibited hCA IX even better than the clinically used acetazolamide. Some of the novel synthesized compounds exhibited higher anti-cathepsin B potential than acetazolamide, with % inhibition of around 50%, at a concentration of 10-7 M. Further, two compounds (12g and 12c) that showed effective and selective inhibition activity profiles against hCA IX and XII were additionally found to be effective inhibitors of cathepsin B.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Several isoforms of the metalloenzyme carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) are connected with tumorigenesis. Hypoxic tumors overexpress CA IX and XII as a consequence of HIF activation cascade, being involved in pH regulation, metabolism, and metastases formation. Other isoforms (CA I, II, III, IV) were also reported to be present in some tumors. AREAS COVERED Some CA isoforms are biomarkers for disease progression or response to therapy. Inhibitors, antibodies, and other procedures for targeting these enzymes for the treatment of tumors/metastases are discussed. Sulfonamides and coumarins represent the most investigated classes of inhibitors, but carboxylates, selenium, and tellurium-containing inhibitors were also investigated. Hybrid drugs of CA inhibitors with other antitumor agents for multitargeted therapy were reported. EXPERT OPINION Targeting CAs present in solid or hematological tumors with selective, targeted inhibitors is a validated approach, which has been consolidated in the last years. A host of new preclinical data and several clinical trials of antibodies and small-molecule inhibitors are ongoing, which connected with the large number of new chemotypes/procedures discovered to be effective, may lead to a breakthrough in this therapeutic area. The scientific/patent literature has been searched for on PubMed, ScienceDirect, Espacenet, and PatentGuru, from 2018 to 2023.

Abstract
Background: Inhibition of human carbonic anhydrase (hCA) isoforms IX and XII with concurrent inhibition of cathepsin B is a promising approach for targeting cancers. Methods/results: 28 keto-bridged dual triazole-containing benzenesulfonamides were synthesized and tested, following the multitarget approach, for their efficacy as inhibitors of cathepsin B and hCA isoforms (I, II, IX, XII). The synthesized compounds showed excellent inhibition of CA isoforms (IX and XII) and cathepsin B. Compound 8i exhibited better and more selective inhibition of the cancer-associated isoform hCA IX as compared with acetazolamide (reference drug) and SLC-0111 (potent lead as carbonic anhydrase inhibitor). Molecular docking studies were also carried out. Conclusion: The present work gives important generalizations for the development of isoform-selective hCA inhibitors endowed with anti-cathepsin properties.

[PMID: 36986640 PMCID: PMC10051454 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15030779] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2023] [Revised: 02/21/2023] [Accepted: 02/24/2023] [Indexed: 03/02/2023] Open
Abstract
The widespread usage of Schiff bases in chemistry, industry, medicine, and pharmacy has increased interest in these compounds. Schiff bases and derivative compounds have important bioactive properties. Heterocyclic compounds containing phenol derivative groups in their structure have the potential to capture free radicals that can cause diseases. In this study, we designed and synthesized eight Schiff bases (10–15) and hydrazineylidene derivatives (16–17), which contain phenol moieties and have the potential to be used as synthetic antioxidants, for the first time using microwave energy. Additionally, the antioxidant effects of Schiff bases (10–15) and hydrazineylidene derivatives (16–17) were studied using by the bioanalytical methods of 2,2’-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) cation radical (ABTS•+) and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH•) scavenging activities, and Fe3+, Cu2+, and Fe3+-TPTZ complex reducing capacities. In the context of studies on antioxidants, Schiff bases (10–15) and hydrazineylidene derivatives (16–17) were found to be as powerful DPPH (IC50: 12.15–99.01 μg/mL) and ABTS•+ (IC50: 4.30–34.65 μg/mL). Additionally, the inhibition abilities of Schiff bases (10–15) and hydrazineylidene derivatives (16–17) were determined towards some metabolic enzymes including acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), and human carbonic anhydrase I and II (hCAs I and II), enzymes that are linked to some global disorders including Alzheimer’s disease (AD), epilepsy, and glaucoma. In the context of studies on enzyme inhibition, it was observed that the synthesized Schiff bases (10–15) and hydrazineylidene derivatives (16–17) inhibited AChE, BChE, hCAs I, and hCA II enzymes with IC50 values in ranges of 16.11–57.75 nM, 19.80–53.31 nM, 26.08 ± 8.53 nM, and 85.79 ± 24.80 nM, respectively. In addition, in light of the results obtained, we hope that this study will be useful and guiding for the evaluation of biological activities in the fields of the food, medical, and pharmaceutical industries in the future.

Abstract
In this study, sixty novel coumarin-monoterpene compounds were synthesized in two series [thirty-two compounds (12-43) bearing a triazole ring in the first series, and twenty-eight compounds (44-71) bearing an alkyl chain in the second one]. Their inhibitory effects on the human carbonic anhydrase (hCA) isoforms I, II, IX, and XII and anticancer potentials were determined. All synthesized molecules selectively inhibited CA IX and XII. 23 and 42 were found to be the strongest inhibitors, with K i values of 1.9 nM against hCA IX. Also, 70 showed the highest inhibitory activity with a K i value of 4.9 nM against hCA XII. Moreover, their cytotoxic effects on colon adenocarcinoma (HT-29), prostate adenocarcinoma (PC-3), and breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) cell lines were evaluated. According to the cytotoxicity results, 14 (IC50 = 2.48 μM) and 63 (IC50 = 3.91 μM) exhibited the highest cytotoxicity on the MCF-7 cells, while 23 showed the strongest cytotoxic effect on both PC-3 (IC50 = 9.40 μM) and HT-29 (IC50 = 12.10 μM) cell lines. 14, 23, and 66 decreased CA IX and CA XII protein expression in HT-29 cells, while 23 and 66 showed the strongest reduction of both CA IX and CA XII in MCF-7 cells. All of the selected compounds increased total apoptosis in a concentration-dependent manner in HT-29 and MCF-7 cells. 14 has the strongest apoptotic effect in MCF-7 cells. 23 increased early apoptosis primarily, while 14 and 66 increased total apoptosis in HT-29. In addition, PI/Hoechst staining proves that apoptotic cells are increased in HT-29 with an effect of 14, 23, and 66. As a result of the modeling studies, it has been shown that only the open coumarin form of the compounds can interact directly with the active-site Zn2+ ion. It has been shown that coumarin-monoterpene structures with different alkyl and monoterpene groups both specifically inhibit CA IX and XII and exhibit specific cytotoxicity in different cell lines.

Tail approach synthesis of triazolylthiazolotriazole bearing benzenesulfonamides as carbonic anhydrase inhibitors capable of inducing apoptosis. Arch Pharm (Weinheim) 2023; 356:e2200439.

Abstract
Inhibition of human carbonic anhydrase (hCA) isoform IX with concurrent induction of apoptosis is a promising approach for targeting cancer in humans. Prompted by the scope, novel benzenesulfonamides containing the 1,2,3-triazolylthiazolotriazole tail were synthesized and screened as inhibitors of hCA isoforms I, II, IV, and IX. The tumor-associated isoform hCA IX was strongly inhibited by the sulfonamides reported here with KI values ranging from 45 nM to 1.882 μM. Overall, nine compounds showed hCA IX inhibition with KI < 250 nM. The glaucoma-associated isoform hCA II was moderately inhibited while the cytosolic isoform hCA I and membrane-bound isoform hCA IV were weakly inhibited by the synthesized sulfonamides. Compound 6Ac (KI = 3.6 nM) was found to be an almost three times more potent inhibitor of hCA II as compared to the standard drug acetazolamide (KI = 12.1 nM). The selective hCA IX inhibitors were further studied for their apoptotic efficacy in goat ovarian cells and showed better results as compared to the control. A comparative study of previously synthesized compounds and molecular docking study of representative compounds revealed some important generalizations that could prove beneficial in further investigations of isoform-selective hCA inhibitors.

Exploration of 1,2,3-triazole linked benzenesulfonamide derivatives as isoform selective inhibitors of human carbonic anhydrase. Bioorg Med Chem 2023; 77:117111. [PMID: 36463726 DOI: 10.1016/j.bmc.2022.117111] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 21.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2022] [Revised: 11/13/2022] [Accepted: 11/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/05/2022]
Abstract
A novel series of 1,2,3-triazole benzenesulfonamide substituted 1,3-dioxoisoindolin-5-carboxylate (7a-l) inhibitors of human α-carbonic anhydrase (hCA) was designed using a tail approach. The design method relies on the hybridization of a benzenesulfonamide moiety with a tail of 1,3-dioxoisoindoline-5-carboxylate and a zinc-binding group on a 1,2,3-triazole scaffold. Among the synthesized analogues, 2‑iodophenyl (7f, KI of 105.00 nM and SI of 2.98) and 2‑naphthyl (7h, KI of 32.11 nM and SI of 3.48) analogues (over off-target hCA I) and phenyl (7a, KI of 50.13 nM and SI of 2.74) and 2,6‑dimethylphenyl (7d, KI of 50.60 nM and SI of 3.35) analogues (over off-target hCA II) exhibited a remarkable selectivity for tumor isoforms hCA IX and XII, respectively. Meanwhile, analogue 7a displayed a potent inhibitory effect against the tumor-associated isoform hCA IX (KI of 18.29 nM) compared with the reference drug acetazolamide (AAZ, KI of 437.20 nM), and analogue 7h showed higher potency (KI of 9.22 nM) than AAZ (KI of 338.90 nM) against another tumor-associated isoform hCA XII. However, adding the lipophilic large naphthyl tail to the 1,3-dioxoisoindolin-5-carboxylate analogues increased both the hCA inhibitory and selective activities against the target isoform, hCA XII. Additionally, these analogues (7a-l) showed IC50 values against the human lung (A549) adenocarcinoma cancer cell line ranging from 129.71 to 352.26 μM. The results of the molecular docking study suggested that the sulfonamide moiety fits snugly into the hCAs active sites and interacts with the Zn2+ ion. At the same time, the tail extension engages in various hydrophilic and hydrophobic interactions with the nearby amino acids, which affects the potency and selectivity of the hybrids.

Abstract
New Schiff base-bearing thiosemicarbazones (1-13) were obtained from 4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxy benzaldehyde and various isocyanates. The structures of the synthesized molecules were elucidated in detail. Density functional theory calculations were also performed to determine the spectroscopic properties of the compounds. Moreover, the enzyme inhibition activities of these compounds were investigated. They showed highly potent inhibition effects on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and human carbonic anhydrases (hCAs) (KI values are in the range of 51.11 ± 6.01 to 278.10 ± 40.55 nM, 60.32 ± 9.78 to 300.00 ± 77.41 nM, and 64.21 ± 9.99 to 307.70 ± 61.35 nM for AChE, hCA I, and hCA II, respectively). In addition, molecular docking studies were performed, confirmed by binding affinities studies of the most potent derivatives.
