[PMID: 38000350 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2023.106976] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2023] [Revised: 10/24/2023] [Accepted: 11/14/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023]
Abstract
Over the last decades, the medicinal chemistry of boron-based compounds has been extensively explored, designing valuable small molecule drugs to tackle diseases and conditions, such as cancer, infections, inflammatory and neurological disorders. Notably, boron has proven to also be a valuable element for the development of inhibitors of the metalloenzymes carbonic anhydrases (CAs), a class of drug targets with significant potential in medicinal chemistry. Incorporating boron into carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (CAIs) can modulate the ligand ability to recognize the target and/or influence selectivity towards different CA isoforms, using the tail approach and boron-based tails. The electron-deficient nature of boron and its associated properties have also led to the discovery of novel zinc-binding CAIs, such as boronic acids and the benzoxaboroles, capable of inhibiting the CAs upon a Lewis acid-base mechanism of action. The present manuscript reviews the state-of-the-art of boron-based CAIs. As research in the applications of boron compounds in medicinal chemistry continues, it is anticipated that new boron-based CAIs will soon expand the current array of such compounds. However, further research is imperative to fully unlock the potential of boron-based CAIs and to advance them towards clinical applications.

Abstract
A novel carbonic anhydrase II (CA II) from erythrocytes of camel (Camelus dromedarius) was purified to homogeneity using affinity chromatography and biochemically characterized. Specific activity of 140.88 U/mg was obtained with 745.17-fold purification and 25.37% yield. The enzyme was a monomer with a lower molecular weight (25 kDa) and lower Zn content (0.50 mol of Zn per mol of protein). The enzyme showed higher optimum temperature (70 °C) and pH (pH 9.0), moreover, it was stable at higher temperatures and strongly alkaline pH as judged by thermodynamic parameters (Ea, kd, Ed, t1/2, D-value, Z-value, ΔH, ΔG and ΔS). The enzyme was inhibited by cations (Al3+, Ca2+, Cd2+, Co2+, Cr3+, Cu2+, Fe3+, Ni2+, Mg2+ and Zn2+) as well as by anions (Br‾, CH3COO‾, ClO4‾, CN‾, F‾, HCO3‾, I‾, N3‾, NO3‾ and SCN‾), some anions (C6H5O73-, CO32-, SeO3‾ and SO42-) does not affect enzyme activity. Effect of various chemicals on enzyme activity was also investigated. Km, Vmax, kcat and kcat/Km values for 4-NPA were found to be 1.74 mM, 0.0093 U/mL, 0,0039 s-1 and 0,0023 s-1 mM-1, respectively. With these interesting biochemical properties, camel CA II represents promising candidate for harsh industrial applications, in particular, for a successful biomimetic CO2 sequestration process.

Abstract
Melioidosis is a severe disease caused
Burkholderia pseudomallei. γ-carbonic anhydrases (γ-CAs) have been recently
introduced as novel antibacterial drug targets. A new γ-CA from B.
pseudomallei has been investigated by a
multidisciplinary approach. Obtained results provide an important starting point
for developing new anti-melioidosis drugs.
Melioidosis is a severe disease caused by the highly
pathogenic gram-negative bacterium Burkholderia
pseudomallei. Several studies have highlighted the broad
resistance of this pathogen to many antibiotics and pointed out the pivotal
importance of improving the pharmacological arsenal against it. Since γ-carbonic
anhydrases (γ-CAs) have been recently introduced as potential and novel
antibacterial drug targets, in this paper, we report a detailed characterization
of BpsγCA, a γ-CA from B.
pseudomallei by a multidisciplinary approach. In
particular, the enzyme was recombinantly produced and biochemically
characterized. Its catalytic activity at different pH values was measured, the
crystal structure was determined and theoretical pKa calculations were carried
out. Results provided a snapshot of the enzyme active site and dissected the
role of residues involved in the catalytic mechanism and ligand recognition.
These findings are an important starting point for developing new
anti-melioidosis drugs targeting BpsγCA.

Abstract
Pathogenic bacteria resistant to most antibiotics, including the methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) represent a serious medical problem. The search for new antiinfectives, possessing a diverse mechanism of action compared to the clinically used antibiotics, has become an attractive research field. S. aureus DNA encodes a β-class carbonic anhydrase, SauBCA. It is a druggable target that can be inhibited by certain aromatic and heterocyclic sulphonamides. Here we investigated inorganic anions and some other small molecules for their inhibition of SauBCA. The halides, nitrite, nitrate, bicarbonate, carbonate, bisulphite, sulphate, stannate, and N,N-diethyldithiocarbamate were submillimolar SauBCA inhibitors with KIs in the range of 0.26 − 0.91 mM. The most effective inhibitors were sulfamide, sulfamate, phenylboronic acid, and phenylarsonic acid with KIs of 7 − 43 µM. Several interesting inhibitors detected here may be considered lead compounds for the development of even more effective derivatives, which should be investigated for their bacteriostatic effects.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The clinically licensed drugs used as antibiotics prevent the microbial growth interfering with the biosynthesis of proteins, nucleic acids, microorganism wall biosynthesis or wall permeability, and microbial metabolic pathways. A serious, emerging problem is the arisen of extensive drug resistance afflicting most countries worldwide. AREAS COVERED An exciting approach to fight drug resistance is the identification of essential enzymes encoded by pathogen genomes. Inhibition of such enzymes may impair microbial growth or virulence due to interference with crucial metabolic processes. Genome exploration of pathogenic and nonpathogenic microorganisms has revealed carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) as possible antibacterial targets. EXPERT OPINION Balancing the equilibrium between CO2 and HCO3 - is essential for microbial metabolism and is regulated by at least four classes of CAs. Classical CA inhibitors (CAIs) such as ethoxzolamide were shown to kill the gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori in vitro, whereas acetazolamide and some of its more lipophilic derivatives were shown to be effective against vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus spp., with MICs in the range of 0.007-2 µg/mL, better than linezolid, the only clinically used agent available to date. Such results reinforce the rationale of considering existing and newly designed CAIs as antibacterials with an alternative mechanism of action.

Abstract
The genome of Helicobacter pylori encodes for carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) belonging to the α- and β-CA classes, which together with urease, have a pivotal role in the acid acclimation of the microorganism within the human stomach. Recently, in the exoproteome of H. pylori, a CA with no indication of the corresponding class was identified. Here, using the protonography and the mass spectrometry, a CA belonging to the α-class was detected in the outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) generated by planktonic and biofilm phenotypes of four H. pylori strains. The amount of this metalloenzyme was higher in the planktonic OMVs (pOMVs) than in the biofilm OMVs (bOMVs). Furthermore, the content of α-CA increases over time in the pOMVs. The identification of the α-CA in pOMVs and bOMVs might shed new light on the role of this enzyme in the colonization, survival, persistence, and pathogenesis of H. pylori.

Abstract
The β-class carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) from the pathogenic bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei, BpsCAβ, that is responsible for the tropical disease melioidosis was investigated for its activation with natural and non-natural amino acids and amines. Previously, the γ-CA from this bacterium has been investigated with the same library of 19 amines/amino acids, which show very potent activating effects on both enzymes. The most effective BpsCAβ activators were L- and D-DOPA, L- and D-Trp, L-Tyr, 4-amino-L-Phe, histamine, dopamine, serotonin, 2-pyridyl-methylamine, 1-(2-aminoethyl)-piperazine and L-adrenaline with KAs of 0.9-27 nM. Less effective activators were D-His, L- and D-Phe, D-Tyr, 2-(2-aminoethyl)pyridine and 4-(2-aminoethyl)-morpholine with KAs of 73 nM-3.42 µM. The activation of CAs from bacteria, such as BpsCAγ/β, has not been considered previously for possible biomedical applications. It would be of interest to perform studies in which bacteria are cultivated in the presence of CA activators, which may contribute to understanding processes connected with the virulence and colonization of the host by pathogenic bacteria.

Anion inhibitors of the β-carbonic anhydrase from the pathogenic bacterium responsible of tularemia, Francisella tularensis. Bioorg Med Chem 2017; 25:4800-4804.

Abstract
A β-class carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) from the pathogenic bacterium Francisella tularensis (FtuβCA) was cloned and purified, and the anion inhibition profile was investigated. Based on the measured kinetic parameters for the enzyme catalyzed CO2 hydration reaction (kcat of 9.8×105s-1 and a kcat/KM of 8.9×107M-1s-1), FtuβCA is a highly effective enzyme. The activity of FtuβCA was not inhibited by a range of anions that do not typically coordinate Zn(II) effectively, including perchlorate, tetrafluoroborate, and hexafluorophosphate. Surprisingly, some anions which generally complex well with many cations, including Zn(II), also did not effectively inhibit FtuβCA, e.g., fluoride, cyanide, azide, nitrite, bisulphite, sulfate, tellurate, perrhenate, perrhuthenate, and peroxydisulfate. However, the most effective inhibitors were in the range of 90-94µM (sulfamide, sulfamic acid, phenylarsonic and phenylboronic acid). N,N-Diethyldithiocarbamate (KI of 0.31mM) was a moderately potent inhibitor. As Francisella tularensis is the causative agent of tularemia, the discovery of compounds that can interfere with the life cycle of this pathogen may result in novel opportunities to fight antibiotic drug resistance.

Abstract
We report the kinetic properties and sulfonamide inhibition profile of an α-carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1), named CruCA4, identified in the red coral Corallium rubrum. This isoform is involved in the biomineralization process leading to the formation of a calcium carbonate skeleton. Experiments performed on the recombinant protein show that the enzyme has a "moderate activity" level. Our results are discussed compared to values obtained for other CA isoforms involved in biomineralization. This is the first study describing the biochemical characterization of an octocoral CA.

Abstract
We have cloned, purified, and characterized a β-carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1), BpsCAβ, from the pathogenic bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei, responsible for the tropical disease melioidosis. The enzyme showed high catalytic activity for the physiologic CO₂ hydration reaction to bicarbonate and protons, with the following kinetic parameters: kcat of 1.6 × 10⁵ s-1 and kcat/KM of 3.4 × 10⁷ M-1 s-1. An inhibition study with a panel of 38 sulfonamides and one sulfamate-including 15 compounds that are used clinically-revealed an interesting structure-activity relationship for the interaction of this enzyme with these inhibitors. Many simple sulfonamides and clinically used agents such as topiramate, sulpiride, celecoxib, valdecoxib, and sulthiame were ineffective BpsCAβ inhibitors (KI > 50 µM). Other drugs, such as ethoxzolamide, dorzolamide, brinzolamide, zonisamide, indisulam, and hydrochlorothiazide were moderately potent micromolar inhibitors. The best inhibition was observed with benzene-1,3-disulfonamides-benzolamide and its analogs acetazolamide and methazolamide-which showed KI in the range of 185-745 nM. The inhibition profile of BpsCAβ is very different from that of the γ-class enzyme from the same pathogen, BpsCAγ. Thus, identifying compounds that would effectively interact with both enzymes is relatively challenging. However, benzolamide was one of the best inhibitors of both of these CAs with KI of 653 and 185 nM, respectively, making it an interesting lead compound for the design of more effective agents, which may be useful tools for understanding the pathogenicity of this bacterium.

BpsβCA showed a significant catalytic activity for the physiologic, CO2 hydration reaction, with the following kinetic parameters, kcat of 1.6×105s-1 and kcat/Km of 3.4×107M-1×s-1. The inhibition of BpsβCA with a group of anions and small molecules was also investigated. The best inhibitors were sulfamide, sulfamic acid and phenylarsonic acid, which showed KIs in the range of 83-92µM, whereas phenylboronic acid, fluoride, cyanide, azide, bisulfite, tetraborate, perrhenate, perruthenate, peroxydisulfate, perchlorate, tetrafluoroborate, fluorosulfonate and hexafluorophosphate showed KIs>100mM. Other inhibitors of this new enzyme were bicarbonate, trithiocarbonate, some complex inorganic anions and N,N-diethyldithiocarbamate, which had inhibition constants of 0.32-8.6mM. As little is known of the life cycle and virulence of this bacterium, this type of study may bring information of interest for the development of novel strategies to fight bacterial infection and drug resistance to commonly used antibiotics.
