Abstract
A library of novel alkyl/benzyl (4-sulphamoylphenyl)carbamimidothioates was synthesised by selective S-alkylation of the easily accessible 4-thioureidobenzenesulphonamide. The compounds were assayed as inhibitors of four human (h) carbonic anhydrase isoforms hCA I, II, VII, and XIII, as well as three bacterial enzymes belonging to the β-CA class, MscCA from Mammaliicoccus (Staphylococcus) sciuri and StCA1 and StCA2, from Salmonella enterica (serovar Typhimurium). Most compounds investigated here exhibited moderate to low nanomolar inhibition constants against hCA I, II, and VII. The cytosolic hCA XIII was also inhibited by these compounds, but not as effective as hCA I, II, and VII. Several compounds were very effective against MscCA and StCA1. StCA2 was less inhibited compared to MscCA and StCA1. Some compounds showed considerable selectivity for inhibiting some CA isoforms. They may thus be considered as interesting starting points for the discovery and development of novel therapeutic agents belonging to this class of enzyme inhibitors.

Sulphonamide inhibition studies of the β-carbonic anhydrase GsaCAβ present in the salmon platyhelminth parasite Gyrodactylus salaris. J Enzyme Inhib Med Chem 2023; 38:2167988.

Abstract
A β-class carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) present in the genome of the Monogenean platyhelminth Gyrodactylus salaris, a fish parasite, GsaCAβ, has been investigated for its inhibitory effects with a panel of sulphonamides and sulfamates, some of which in clinical use. Several effective GsaCAβ inhibitors were identified, belonging to simple heterocyclic sulphonamides, the deacetylated precursors of acetazolamide and methazolamide (KIsof 81.9-139.7 nM). Many other simple benezene sulphonamides and clinically used agents, such as acetazolamide, methazolamide, ethoxzolamide, dorzolamide, benzolamide, sulthiame and hydrochlorothiazide showed inhibition constants <1 µM. The least effective GsaCAβ inhibitors were 4,6-disubstituted-1,3-benzene disulfonamides, with KIs in the range of 16.9-24.8 µM. Although no potent GsaCAβ-selective inhibitors were detected so far, this preliminary investigation may be helpful for better understanding the inhibition profile of this parasite enzyme and for the potential development of more effective and eventually parasite-selective inhibitors.

Abstract
Advances in the carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) research over the last three decades are presented, with an emphasis on the deciphering of the activation mechanism, the development of isoform-selective inhibitors/ activators by the tail approach and their applications in the management of obesity, hypoxic tumors, neurological conditions, and as antiinfectives.

Evaluation of the In Vitro Antifungal Activity of Novel Arylsulfonamides against Candida spp. Microorganisms 2023; 11:1522.

Abstract
The antifungal activity of molecules belonging to the arylsulfonamide chemotype has previously been demonstrated. Here, we screened arylsulfonamide-type compounds against a range of Candida spp. and further established the structure-activity relationship based on a "hit compound". A series of four sulfonamide-based compounds, N-(4-sulfamoylbenzyl) biphenyl-4-carboxamide (3), 2,2-diphenyl-N-(4-sulfamoylbenzyl) acetamide (4), N-(4-sulfamoylphenethyl) biphenyl-4-carboxamide (5) and 2,2-diphenyl-N-(4-sulfamoylphenethyl) acetamide (6), were tested against the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) and clinical strains of C. albicans, C. parapsilosis and C. glabrata. Based on the fungistatic potential of prototype 3, a further subset of compounds, structurally related to hit compound 3, was synthesized and tested: two benzamides (10-11), the related amine 4-[[(4-4-((biphenyl-4-ylmethylamino)methyl) benzenesulfonamide (13) and the corresponding hydrochloride, 13.HCl. Both amine 13 and its hydrochloride salt had fungicidal effects against Candida glabrata strain 33 (MFC of 1.000 mg/mL). An indifferent effect was detected in the association of the compounds with amphotericin B and fluconazole. The cytotoxicity of the active compounds was also evaluated. This data could be useful to develop novel therapeutics for topical use against fungal infections.

Benzenesulfonamides Incorporating Hydantoin Moieties Effectively Inhibit Eukaryoticand Human Carbonic Anhydrases. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232214115.

Abstract
A series of novel 1-(4-benzenesulfonamide)-3-alkyl/benzyl-hydantoin derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for the inhibition of eukaryotic and human carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1). The prepared compounds were screened for their hCA inhibitory activities against three cytosolic isoforms as well as two β-CAs from fungal pathogens. The best inhibition was observed against hCA II and VII as well as Candida glabrata enzyme CgNce103. hCA I and Malassezia globosa MgCA enzymes were, on the other hand, less effectively inhibited by these compounds. The inhibitory potency of these compounds against CAs was found to be dependent on the electronic and steric effects of substituent groups on the N3-position of the hydantoin ring, which included alkyl, alkenyl and substituted benzyl moieties. The interesting results against CgNce103 make the compounds of interest for investigations in vivo as potential antifungals.

Abstract
Fungal promoted infections are becoming a severe health global emergency due to drug-resistant phenomena and zoonosis. This work investigated compounds bearing acyl-/selenoureido moieties and primary/secondary sulfonamide groups as novel antifungal agents acting through organism-directed selenium toxicity and inhibition of the newly emergent therapeutic target, the Carbonic Anhydrases (CAs; EC 4.2.1.1). Reported data clearly indicate that seleno-containing scaffolds with respect to the standard-of-care drugs showed appreciable antifungal activity, which was suppressed when the chalcogen was replaced with its cognate isosteric elements sulfur and oxygen. In addition, such compounds showed excellent selectivity against Malassezia pachydermatis over its related genus strains Malassezia furfur and Malassezia globosa. Safe cytotoxicity profiles on bovine kidney cells (MDBK) and human HaCat cells, as well as the shallow hemolytic activity on defibrinated sheep blood, allowed us to consider these compounds as up-and-coming novel antifungals.
