Abstract
In an effort to discover potential acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and carbonic anhydrase (CA) inhibitors, a novel series of organohalogen chalcone derivatives (12-20, 23-30) was synthesized, and their chemical structures were characterized by spectral analysis. They showed a highly potent inhibition effect on AChE and hCAs (Ki values range from 5.07 ± 0.062 to 65.53 ± 4.36 nM for AChE, 13.54 ± 2.55 to 94.11 ± 10.39 nM for hCA I, and 5.21 ± 0.54 to 57.44 ± 3.12 nM for hCA II). In addition, the chalcone derivatives with the highest inhibitor score docked into the active site of the indicated metabolic enzyme receptors, and their absorption, metabolism, and toxic properties were evaluated according to ADMET's estimation.Compounds 16 and 19 exhibited the highest inhibition score, emerged as lead compounds, and inspired the development of more potent compounds.

Antimalarial Agents Targeting Plasmodium falciparum Carbonic Anhydrase: Towards Artesunate Hybrid Compounds with Dual Mechanism of Action. ChemMedChem 2023; 18:e202300267.

Abstract
Malaria continues to be a major public health challenge worldwide and, as part of the global effort toward malaria eradication, plasmodium carbonic anhydrases (CAs) have recently been proposed as potential targets for malaria treatment. In this study, a series of eight hybrid compounds combining the Artesunate core with a sulfonamide moiety were synthesized and evaluated for their inhibition potency against the widely expressed human (h) CAs I, II and the isoform from P. falciparum (PfCA). All derivatives demonstrated high inhibition potency against PfCA, achieving a KI value in the sub-nanomolar range (0.35 nM). Two Compounds showed a selectivity index of 4.1 and 3.1, respectively, against this protozoan isoform compared to hCA II. Three Derivatives showed no cytotoxic effects on human gingival fibroblasts at 50 μM with a high killing rate against both P. falciparum and P. knowlesi strains with IC50 in the sub-nanomolar range, providing a wide therapeutic window. Our findings suggest that these compounds may serve as promising leads for developing new antimalarial drugs and warrant further investigation, including activity against antimalarial-resistant strains, mode of action studies, and in vivo efficacy assessment in preclinical mouse models of malaria.

Eur J Med Chem 2023; 250:115180.

Abstract
In the current medical era, the single target inhibition paradigm of drug discovery has given way to the multi-target design concept. As the most intricate pathological process, inflammation gives rise to a variety of diseases. There are several drawbacks to the single target anti-inflammatory drugs currently available. Herein, we present the design and synthesis of a novel series of 4-(5-amino-pyrazol-1-yl)benzenesulfonamide derivatives (7a-j) with COX-2, 5-LOX and carbonic anhydrase (CA) inhibitory activities as potential multi-target anti-inflammatory agents. The pharmacophoric 4-(pyrazol-1-yl)benzenesulfonamide moiety in Celecoxib was used as the core scaffold and different substituted phenyl and 2-thienyl tails were grafted via a hydrazone linker to enhance inhibitory activity against hCA IX and XII isoforms, yielding target pyrazoles 7a-j. All reported pyrazoles were evaluated for their inhibitory activity against COX-1, COX-2, and 5-LOX. Pyrazoles 7a, 7b, and 7j showed the best inhibitory activities against the COX-2 isozyme (IC50 = 49, 60 and 60 nM, respectively) and against 5-LOX (IC50 = 2.4, 1.9, and 2.5 μM, respectively) with excellent SI indices (COX-1/COX-2) of 212.24, 208.33, and 158.33, respectively. In addition, the inhibitory activities of pyrazoles 7a-j were evaluated against four different hCA isoforms I, II, IX, and XII. Both transmembrane hCA IX and XII isoforms were potently inhibited by pyrazoles 7a-j with KI values in the nanomolar range; 13.0-82.1 nM and 5.8-62.0 nM, respectively. Furthermore, pyrazoles 7a and 7b with the highest COX-2 activity and selectivity indices were evaluated in vivo for their analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and ulcerogenic activities. The serum level of the inflammatory mediators was then measured in order to confirm the anti-inflammatory activities of pyrazoles 7a and 7b.

Abstract
The search for novel heterocyclic compounds with a natural product skeleton as potent enzyme inhibitors against clinical hits is our prime concern in this study. Here, a simple and facile two-step strategy has been designed to synthesize a series of novel coumarin-based dihydropyranochromenes (12a-12m) in a basic moiety. The synthesized compounds were thus characterized through spectroscopic techniques and screened for inhibition potency against the cytosolic hCA II isoform and β-glucuronidase. Few of these compounds were potent inhibitors of hCA II and β-glucuronidase with varying IC50 values ranging from 4.55 ± 0.22 to 21.77 ± 3.32 μM and 440.1 ± 1.17 to 971.3 ± 0.05 μM, respectively. Among the stream of synthesized compounds, 12e and 12i were the most potent inhibitors of β-glucuronidase, while 12h, 12i, and 12j showed greater potency against hCA II. In silico docking studies illustrated the significance of substituted groups on the pyranochromene skeleton and binding pattern of these highly potent compounds inside enzyme pockets.

Abstract
Human carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (hCAIs) are a key therapeutic class with a multitude of novel applications such as anticonvulsants, topically acting antiglaucoma, and anticancer drugs. Herein, a new series of 4-anilinoquinazoline-based benzenesulfonamides were designed, synthesised, and biologically assessed as potential hCAIs. The target compounds are based on the well-tolerated kinase scaffold (4-anilinoquinazoline). Compounds 3a (89.4 nM), 4e (91.2 nM), and 4f (60.9 nM) exhibited 2.8, 2.7, and 4 folds higher potency against hCA I when compared to the standard (AAZ, V), respectively. A single digit nanomolar activity was elicited by compounds 3a (8.7 nM), 4a (2.4 nM), and 4e (4.6 nM) with 1.4, 5, and 2.6 folds of potency compared to AAZ (12.1 nM) against isoform hCA II, respectively. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) and molecular docking studies validated our design approach that revealed highly potent hCAIs.

Abstract
In recent decades, human carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (hCAIs) have emerged as an important therapeutic class with various applications including antiglaucoma, anticonvulsants, and anticancer agents. Herein, a novel series of indole-based benzenesulfonamides were designed, synthesized, and biologically evaluated as potential hCAIs. A regioisomerism of the sulfonamide moiety was carried out to afford a total of fifteen indole-based benzenesulfonamides possessing different amide linkers that enable the ligands to be flexible and develop potential H-bond interaction(s) with the target protein. The activity of the synthesized compounds was evaluated against four hCA isoforms (I, II, IX and, XII). Compounds 2b, 2c, 2d, 2f, 2h and 2o exhibited potent and selective profiles over the hCA II isoform with Ki values of 7.3, 9.0, 7.1, 16.0, 8.6 and 7.5 nM, respectively. Among all, compound 2a demonstrated the most potent inhibition against the hCA II isoform with an inhibitory constant (Ki) of 5.9 nM, with 13-, 34-, and 9-fold selectivity for hCA II over I, IX and XII isoforms, respectively. Structure–activity relationship data attained for various substitutions were rationalized. Furthermore, a molecular docking study gave insights into both inhibitory activity and selectivity of the target compounds. Accordingly, this report presents a successful scaffold hoping approach that reveals compound 2a as a highly potent and selective indole-based hCA II inhibitor worthy of further investigation.

Abstract
We report a one-pot procedure for the synthesis of asymmetrical ureido-containing benzenesulfonamides based on in situ generation of the corresponding isocyanatobenezenesulfonamide species, which were trapped with the appropriate amines. A library of new compounds was generated and evaluated in vitro for their inhibition properties against a representative panel of the human (h) metalloenzymes carbonic anhydrases (EC 4.2.1.1), and the best performing compounds on the isozyme II (i.e., 7c, 9c, 11g, and 12c) were screened for their ability to reduce the intraocular pressure in glaucomatous rabbits. In addition, the binding modes of 7c, 11f, and 11g were assessed by means of X-ray crystallography.

Abstract
Human carbonic anhydrase XII (hCA XII) isozyme is of high therapeutic value as a pharmacological target and biomarker for different types of cancer. The hCA XII is one of the crucial effectors that regulates extracellular and intracellular pH and affects cancer cell proliferation, invasion, growth and metastasis. Despite the fact that interaction features of hCAs inhibitors with the catalytic site of the enzyme are well described, lack in the selectivity of the traditional hCA inhibitors based on the sulfonamide group or related motifs is an urgent issue. Moreover, drugs containing sulfanomides can cause sulfa allergies. Thus, identification of novel non-classical inhibitors of hCA XII is of high priority and is currently the subject of a vast field of study. This study was devoted to the identification of novel potential hCA XII inhibitors using comprehensive set of computational approaches for drug design discovery: generation and validation of structure- and ligand-based pharmacophore models, molecular docking, re-scoring of virtual screening results with MMGBSA, molecular dynamics simulations, etc. As the results of the study several compounds with alternative to classical inhibitors chemical scaffolds, in particular one of coumarins derivative, have been identified and are of high interest as potential non-classical hCA XII inhibitors.

Abstract
A series of saccharide-modified thiadiazole sulfonamide derivatives has been designed and synthesized by the “tail approach” and evaluated for inhibitory activity against carbonic anhydrases II, IX, and XII. Most of the compounds showed high topological polar surface area (TPSA) values and excellent enzyme inhibitory activity. The impacts of some compounds on the viability of HT-29, MDA-MB-231, and MG-63 human cancer cell lines were examined under both normoxic and hypoxic conditions, and they showed certain inhibitory effects on cell viability. Moreover, it was found that the series of compounds had the ability to raise the pH of the tumor cell microenvironment. All the results proved that saccharide-modified thiadiazole sulfonamides have important research prospects for the development of CA IX inhibitors.

Abstract
Two sets of benzenesulfonamide-based effective human carbonic anhydrase (hCA) inhibitors have been developed using the tail approach. The inhibitory action of these novel molecules was examined against four isoforms: hCA I, hCA II, hCA VII, and hCA XII. Most of the molecules disclosed low to medium nanomolar range inhibition against all tested isoforms. Some of the synthesized derivatives selectively inhibited the epilepsy-involved isoforms hCA II and hCA VII, showing low nanomolar affinity. The anticonvulsant activity of selected sulfonamides was assessed using the maximal electroshock seizure (MES) and subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (sc-PTZ) in vivo models of epilepsy. These potent CA inhibitors effectively inhibited seizures in both epilepsy models. The most effective compounds showed long duration of action and abolished MES-induced seizures up to 6 h after drug administration. These sulfonamides were found to be orally active anticonvulsants, being nontoxic in neuronal cell lines and in animal models.

Abstract
Here we report the synthesis of a series of taurine substituted sulfonamide derivatives 1-29 having the ureido moiety installed at the tail section as selective inhibitors of the tumor associated human (h) Carbonic Anhydrase (CA; EC 4.2.1.1) IX and XII. The series was deeply investigated for their kinetic features which demonstrated a strong dependence on the ureido moiety. High resolution X-ray crystallographic investigation on selected ligand adducts complexed with hCA II and hCA IX-mimic revealed a strong correlation between the ureido moiety and the amino acid residues Q92 and Q67 in both the hCA II and hCA IX-mimic, contributing to highly stabilized ligand-protein complex.

Abstract
A series of benzylaminoethylureido-tailed benzenesulfonamides was analyzed for their inhibition potential against bacterial carbonic anhydrases (CAs) such as VhCA α, β, and γ from Vibrio cholerae, and BpsCA β and γ-CAs from Burkholderia pseudomallei. Growing drug resistance against antibiotics demands alternative targets and mechanisms of action. As CA is essential for the survival of bacteria, such enzymes have the potential for developing new antibiotics. Most of the compounds presented excellent inhibition potential against VhCA γ compared to α and β, with Ki values in the range of 82.5-191.4 nM. Several sulfonamides exhibited excellent inhibition against BpsCA β with Ki values in the range of 394-742.8 nM. Recently it has been demonstrated that sufonamide CA inhibitors are effective against vancomycin-resistant enterococci. These data show that CA inhibition of pathogenic bacteria may lead to a new class of antibiotics.
