Abstract
The two new metal complexes of Cu(II) and Mn(II) containing macroacyclic ligand of the type [Cu(hpn)](PF(6))(2) (1) and [Mn(hpn)](PF(6))(2) (2) [where hpn = [1-{[2-{[2-hydroxynaphthalen-1-yl)methylidine]amino}phenyl)imino]methyl}naphthalene-2-ol]] have been synthesized and characterized by employing analytical and spectral methods. The DNA binding properties of the complexes with calf thymus-DNA were studied by using absorption spectra and viscosity measurements, as well as thermal denaturation experiments. The absorption spectra indicated that the complexes intercalate tightly between the base pairs of the DNA with intrinsic DNA binding constants of 1.8 × 10(4) M(-1) for (1) and 3.7 × 10(4) M(-1) for (2) in 5 mM Tris-HCl/50 mM NaCl buffer at pH 7.2, respectively. The enhancement in the relative viscosity of DNA on binding to the ligand supports the proposed DNA binding modes. The oxidative cleavage activity of complexes (1) and (2) were carried out on double-stranded pUC19 circular plasmid DNA using gel electrophoresis. The complexes show significant nuclease activity.

Abstract
A series of Schiff's bases was prepared by reaction of 3-formyl-chromone or 6-methyl-3-formyl-chromone with aromatic sulfonamides, such as sulfanilamide, homosulfanilamide, 4-aminoethyl-benzenesulfonamide, a pyrimidinyl-substituted sulfanilamide derivative, sulfaguanidine and 4-amino-6-trifluoromethyl-benzene-1,3-disulfonamide. The zinc complexes of these sulfonamides have also been obtained. The new derivatives and their Zn(II) complexes were investigated for the inhibition of four physiologically relevant isozymes of carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1): the cytosolic isoforms I and II, as well as the tumor-associated, transmembrane isozymes CA IX and XII. Except for the sulfaguanidine-derived compounds which were devoid of activity against all isozymes, the other sulfonamides and their metal complexes showed interesting inhibitory activity. Against isozyme CA I, the inhibition constants were in the range of 13-100 nM, against isozyme CA II in the range of 1.9-102 nM, against isozyme CA IX in the range of 6.3-48nM, and against CA XII in the range of 5.9-50nM. Generally, the formyl-chromone derived compounds were better CA inhibitors as compared to the corresponding 6-methyl-chromone derivatives, and for the simple, benzenesulfonamide derivatives activity increased with an increase of the spacer from sulfanilamide to homosulfanilamide and 4-aminoethylbenzenesulfonamide derivatives, respectively. Some of these compounds may show applications for the development of therapies targeting hypoxic tumors in which CA IX and XII are often highly overexpressed.

Abstract
Metal complexes of a sulfonamide possessing strong carbonic anhydrase (CA) inhibitory properties, 5-(2-chlorophenyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-sulfonamide (chlorazolamide) have been obtained from the sodium salt of the sulfonamide and the following metal ions: Mg(II), Zn(II), Mn(II), Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Be(II), Cd(II), Pb(II), Al(III), Fe(III) and La(III). The original sulfonamide and its complexes were assayed for the in vitro inhibition of three CA isozymes, CA I, II, and IV, some of which play a critical role in ocular fluid secretion. All these compounds (the sulfonamide and its metal complexes) behaved as powerful inhibitors against the three investigated isozymes. The parent sulfonamide possessed an extremely weak topical pressure lowering effect when administered as a 1-2% suspension into the rabbit eye, but some of its metal complexes, such as the Mg(II), Zn(II), Mn(II) and Cu(II) derivatives, lower intraocular pressure (IOP) in experimental animals very well. Ex vivo data showed a 99.5-99.9% CA II inhibition in ocular fluids and tissues of rabbits treated with these agents, proving that the observed IOP lowering is due to CA inhibition. The influence of the different metal ions upon the efficiency of the obtained complexes as pressure lowering drugs are discussed, leading to the possibility of designing more selective/potent pharmacological agents from this class.

Abstract
Two new mu-methoxo-bridged dinuclear copper(II) complexes with a N-substituted sulfonamide, [Cu(mu-OMe)(L)(NH(3))](2) (1) and [Cu(mu-OMe)(L)(DMSO)](2) (2) [HL, N-2-(4-methylbenzothiazole)benzenesulfonamide], have been prepared and characterized by single-crystal X-ray difraction analyses. Compound 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C(2)/c with a=22.0678(18), b=7.9134(7), c=21.1186(18)A, beta=113.788(4) degrees and Z=8. Compound 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C(2)/c with a=18.0900(10), b=9.5720(10), c=24.2620(10) A, beta=98.7120(10) degrees and Z=8. In both complexes the copper atoms have square-planar environments bridged by two oxygen atoms from methoxide groups. Magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate a very strong antiferromagnetic coupling between the copper(II) ions in both complexes (2J<-1000 cm(-1)). Electronic Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectra of the two complexes both in solid and in solution are silent. 13C NMR spectra of the complexes in solid state have been studied. The complexes have been evaluated as model systems for the catechol oxidase enzyme using 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol as the test substrate. Complex 2 is slightly more active than complex 1.

Abstract
At least 14 different carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) isoforms were isolated in higher vertebrates, where these zinc enzymes play crucial physiological roles. Some of these isozymes are cytosolic (CA I, CA II, CA III, CA VII), others are membrane-bound (CA IV, CA IX, CA XII, and CA XIV), CA V is mitochondrial and CA VI is secreted in saliva. Three acatalytic forms are also known, which are denominated CA related proteins (CARP), CARP VIII, CARP X, and CARP XI. Several important physiological and physio-pathological functions are played by many CA isozymes, which are strongly inhibited by aromatic and heterocyclic sulfonamides as well as inorganic, metal complexing anions. The catalytic and inhibition mechanisms of these enzymes are understood in detail, and this helped the design of potent inhibitors, some of which possess important clinical applications. The use of such enzyme inhibitors as antiglaucoma drugs will be discussed in detail, together with the recent developments that led to isozyme-specific and organ-selective inhibitors. A recent discovery is connected with the involvement of CAs and their sulfonamide inhibitors in cancer: several potent sulfonamide inhibitors inhibited the growth of a multitude of tumor cells in vitro and in vivo, thus constituting interesting leads for developing novel antitumor therapies. Furthermore, some other classes of compounds that interact with CAs have recently been discovered, some of which possess modified sulfonamide or hydroxamate moieties. Some sulfonamides have also applications as diagnostic tools, in PET and MRI or as antiepileptics or for the treatment of other neurological disorders. Future prospects for drug design applications for inhibitors of these ubiquitous enzymes are also discussed.

Abstract
A series of half-sandwich copper(II) complexes [TpPh]CuX ([TpPh] = hydrotris(3-phenyl-pyrazolyl)borate; X- = OH- (1), N3- (2), NCS- (3)) have been synthesized as models for carbonic anhydrase. The structure of 3 was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. Crystals of 3 (C37H30BCuN9S) are triclinic, space group P1 with a = 11.997(3) A, b = 12.116(3) A, c = 13.384(4) A, alpha = 81.088(5) degrees, beta = 79.289(6) degrees, gamma = 68.668(5) degrees, V = 1772.4(8) A3, and Z = 2. The dehydration kinetic measurements of HCO3- are performed by the stopped-flow techniques at pH < 7.9. The apparent dehydration rate constant kdobs varies linearly with total Cu(II) concentration, and the catalytic activity of the model complexes decreases in the order 1 > 2 > 3. The catalytic activity decreases with increasing pH indicating that the aqua model complex must be the reactive catalytic species in the catalyzed dehydration reaction and the rate-determining step is the substitution of the labile water molecule by HCO3-. The kdobs values increase with increasing reaction temperature, and the apparent activation energies of the model complexes with inhibitors are remarkably higher than that of the complex with no inhibitors, this being the origin of inhibition. The large negative entropy of activation also indicates an associative mode of activation in the rate-determining step. The inhibition ability of the inhibitor NCS- is stronger than that of the inhibitor N3-, which can be rationalized by the decrease in effective atomic charges of the Cu(II) ions as revealed by the theoretical calculations.

Abstract
Reaction of polyamino-polycarboxylic acids or their dianhydrides with aromatic/heterocyclic sulfonamides possessing a free amino/imino/hydrazino/hydroxy group afforded mono- and bis-sulfonamides containing polyamino-polycarboxylic acid moieties in their molecule. The acids/anhydrides used in synthesis included IDA, NTA, EDDA, EDTA and EDTA dianhydride, DTPA and DTPA dianhydride, EGTA and EGTA dianhydride, and EDDHA, among others. All the newly prepared derivatives showed strong affinity toward isozymes I, II, and IV of carbonic anhydrase (CA). Metal complexes of the new compounds have also been prepared. Metal ions used in such preparations included di- and trivalent main-group and transition cations, such as Zn(II), Cu(II), Al(III), etc. Some of the new sulfonamides/disulfonamides obtained in this way, as well as their metal complexes, behaved as nanomolar CA inhibitors against isozymes II and IV, being slightly less effective in inhibiting isozyme I. Some of these sulfonamides as well as their metal complexes strongly lowered intraocular pressure (IOP) when applied topically, directly into the normotensive/glaucomatous rabbit eye, as 1-2% water solutions/suspensions. The good water solubility of these sulfonamide CA inhibitors, correlated with the neutral pH of their water solutions used in the ophthalmologic applications and the long duration of action of the IOP-lowering effect, makes them interesting candidates for developing novel types of antiglaucoma drugs devoid of serious topical side effects.

Abstract
Aminobenzolamide (5-sulfanilylamido-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-sulfonamide) is a potent inhibitor of the zinc enzyme carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1), being at the same time structurally similar to the antimicrobial sulfonamides. Here we report that the reaction of aminobenzolamide with arylsulfonyl isocyanates affords a series of new arylsulfonylureido derivatives which were subsequently used as ligands (in the form of conjugate bases, as sulfonamide anions) for the preparation of metal complexes containing Ag(I) and Zn(II). All the new compounds proved to be very potent inhibitors of CA (isozymes I, II and IV). The newly synthesized complexes, unlike the free ligands, also act as effective antifungal agents against several Aspergillus and Candida spp., some of them showing activities comparable to ketoconazole, with minimum inhibitory concentrations in the range of 1.8-5 microg/mL. The mechanism of antifungal action of these complexes seem to be unconnected with inhibition of lanosterol-14-alpha-demethylase, since the levels of sterols assessed in the fungi cultures were equal in the absence or in the presence of the tested compounds. Probably the new complexes act as inhibitors of phosphomannose isomerase, a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of yeast cell walls.

The corresponding mono-sulfonamide derivatives of dtpa were also obtained by an alternative method, from the free acid. Zn(II) complexes of these new sulfonamides were then prepared. Many of these derivatives showed nanomolar affinity towards isozymes I, II and IV of carbonic anhydrase (CA). Some of the best inhibitors were applied as 2% water solutions/suspensions into the eye of normotensive or glaucomatous albino rabbits, when strong and long-lasting intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering was observed.

Abstract
The 14 different carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) isozymes as well as the 23 different matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) isolated up to now in higher vertebrates play important physiological functions in these organisms. Unsubstituted sulfonamides act as high-affinity inhibitors for the first type of these enzymes, whereas hydroxamates strongly inhibit the latter ones. Since the active site geometry around the zinc ion in these two types of metalloenzymes is rather similar, we tested whether sulfonylated amino acid hydroxamates of the type RSO(2)NX-AA-CONHOH (X = H, benzyl, substituted benzyl; AA = amino acid moiety, such as Gly, Ala, Val, Leu) with well-known inhibitory properties against MMPs and Clostridium histolyticum collagenase (ChC, another zinc enzyme related to the MMPs) might also act as CA inhibitors. We also investigated whether N-hydroxysulfonamides of the type RSO(2)NHOH (which are effective CA inhibitors) inhibit MMPs and ChC. Here we report several potent sulfonylated amino acid hydroxamate CA inhibitors (with inhibition constants in the range of 5-40 nM, against the human isozymes hCA I and hCA II, and 10-50 nM, against the bovine isozyme bCA IV), as well as preliminary SAR for this new class of non-sulfonamide CA inhibitors. Some N-hydroxysulfonamides also showed inhibitory properties (in the micromolar range) against MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-8, MMP-9, and ChC. Thus, the SO(2)NHOH group is a new zinc-binding function for the design of MMP inhibitors. Both CA as well as MMPs are involved, among others, in carcinogenesis and tumor invasion processes. On the basis of these findings, we suggest that the mechanism of antitumor action with some hydroxamate inhibitors might also involve inhibition of some CA isozymes (such as CA IX, CA XII, and CA XIV) present only in tumor cell membranes, in addition to collagenases/gelatinases of the MMP type. Our data also suggest that it should be possible to develop dual enzyme inhibitors that would strongly inhibit both these metalloenzymes, CAs and MMPs, based on the nature of the R, AA, and X moieties in the above formula. Compact X (such as H) and AA (such as Gly) moieties favor CA over MMP inhibition, whereas bulkier X (benzyl, substituted benzyl, etc.) and AA (such as Val, Leu) moieties and substituted-aryl R groups are advantageous for obtaining potent MMP and ChC inhibitors, which show lower affinity for CA.

Abstract
Two well known antimicrobial sulfonamides, sulfadiazine and sulfamerazine were reacted with arylsulfonyl isocyanates, affording several new arylsulfonylureido derivatives. These compounds were subsequently used as ligands (in the form of conjugate bases, as sulfonamide anions) for the preparation of metal complexes containing silver and zinc. The newly synthesized complexes, unlike the free ligands, proved to act as effective antifungal agents against several Aspergillus and Candida spp., some of them showing activities comparable to ketoconazole, with minimum inhibitory concentrations in the range of 1.5-5 microg/ml. The mechanism of antifungal action of these complexes seems to be different from that of the azole antifungals acting as lanosterol-14-alpha-demethylase inhibitors. Levels of sterols assayed in the fungi cultures treated with these new antifungals were equal in the absence or in the presence of the tested compounds. This is in strong contrast with similar experiments in which ketoconazole has been used as antifungal, when drastically reduced ergosterol amounts could be detected. Thus, it is probable that the inhibition of phosphomannose isomerase, a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of yeast cell walls, imparts antifungal activity to the new metal complexes reported here.

Abstract
Reaction of three aromatic sulfonamides possessing a primary amino group, i.e., sulfanilamide, homosulfanilamide and p-aminoethyl-benzenesulfonamide with heterocyclic and aromatic aldehydes afforded a series of Schiff bases. Metal complexes of some of these Schiff bases with divalent transition ions such as Zn(II), Cu(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) have also been obtained. The new compounds were assayed as inhibitors of three isozymes of carbonic anhydrase (CA). Several of the new compounds showed a modest selectivity for the membrane-bound (bovine) isozyme CA IV (bCA IV) as compared to the cytosolic human isozymes hCA I and II, in contrast to classical inhibitors which generally possess a 17-33 times lower affinity for bCA IV. This greater selectivity toward bCA IV is due mainly to a slightly decreased potency against hCA II relative to classical inhibitors. However, metal complexes of these Schiff bases possessed an increased affinity for hCA II, being less inhibitory against bCA IV. The first type of compounds reported here (i.e., the Schiff bases of aromatic sulfonamides with heterocyclic aldehydes) might thus lead to the development of low molecular weight isozyme specific CA IV inhibitors. The difference in affinity for the three isozymes of the inhibitors reported by us here is tentatively explained on the basis of recent X-ray crystallographic studies of these isozymes and their adducts with substrates/inhibitors.

Abstract
Metal complexes of a sulfonamide possessing strong carbonic anhydrase (CA) inhibitory properties have been obtained from the sodium salt of the sulfonamide or from the free sulfonamide in the presence of ammonia, and the following metal ions: Mg(II); Zn(II); Mn(II); Cu(II); Co(II); Ni(II); Be(II); Cd(II); Pb(II); Al(III); Fe(III) and La(III). The original sulfonamide, 5-(3,4-dichlorophenylureido)-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-sulfonamide and its complexes were assayed for in vitro inhibition of three CA isozymes, CA I, II and IV, some of which play a critical role in ocular fluid secretion. All these compounds (the sulfonamide and its metal complexes) behave as very powerful inhibitors against the three investigated CA isozymes. The parent sulfonamide possesses strong topical pressure lowering effects in rabbits when applied as a 1% solution directly into the eye, but some of its metal complexes, such as the Mg(II); Zn(II); Mn(II) and Cu(II) derivatives, lower intraocular pressure (IOP) in experimental animals much better. Ex vivo data showed a 98.5-99.9% inhibition of CA II and IV in ocular fluids and tissues of the rabbits treated with these agents, proving that the IOP lowering properties are due to CA inhibition. The influence of the different metal ions upon the efficiency of the obtained complexes as pressure lowering drugs are discussed, considering the possibility to design in this way more selective pharmacological agents from this class.
