Abstract : The inhibition of a newly cloned human carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1), isozyme VII (hCA VII), has been investigated with a series of aromatic and heterocyclic sulfonamides, including some of the clinically used derivatives (acetazolamide, methazolamide, ethoxzolamide, dichlorophenamide, dorzolamide, brinzolamide and benzolamide), as well as the sulfamate antiepileptic drug topiramate. Inhibition data for the the other physiologically relevant cytosolic isoforms hCA I, hCA II and mCA XIII are also provided for comparison. hCA VII shows a high catalytic activity for the CO(2) hydration reaction, with a k(cat) of 9.5 x 10(5)s(-1) and k(cat)/K(m) of 8.3 x 10(7)M(-1)s(-1) at pH7.5 and 20 degrees C. A very interesting inhibition profile against hCA VII with this series of 32 sulfonamides/sulfamates was observed. hCA VII shows high affinity for all the investigated compounds, with inhibition constants in the range of 0.45-210 nM. Topiramate, ethoxzolamide and benzolamide showed subnanomolar hCA VII inhibitory activity, whereas acetazolamide, methazolamide, dorzolamide and brinzolamide showed K(I)-s in the range of 2.1-3.5 nM. Dichlorophenamide was slightly less active (K(I) of 26.5 nM). A number of heterocyclic or bicyclic aromatic sulfonamides also showed excellent hCA VII inhibitory properties (K(I)-s in the range of 4.3-7.0 nM) whereas many monosubstituted or disubstituted benzenesulfonamides were less active (K(I)-s in the range of 45-89 nM). The least active hCA VII inhibitors were some substituted benzene-1,3-disulfonamides as well as some halogenated sulfanilamides (K(I)-s in the range of 100-210 nM). The inhibition profile of hCA VII is rather different of that of the other cytosolic isozymes, providing thus a possibility for the design of more selective, hCA VII-specific inhibitors. In addition, these data furnish further evidence that hCA VII is the isozyme responsible for the anticonvulsant/antiepileptic activity of sulfonamides and sulfamates.

Abstract : The inhibition of a newly cloned human carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1), isozyme XII (hCA XII), has been investigated with a series of sulfonamides, including some clinically used derivatives (acetazolamide, methazolamide, ethoxzolamide, dichlorophenamide, dorzolamide, brinzolamide, benzolamide, and sulpiride, or indisulam, a compound in clinical development as antitumor drug), as well as the sulfamate antiepileptic drug topiramate. Some simple amino-/hydrazine-/hydroxy-substituted aromatic/heterocyclic sulfonamides have also been included in the study. All types of activity have been detected, with several medium potency inhibitors (K(I)s in the range of 34-220 nM), whereas ethoxzolamide and several halogenated sulfanilamides showed stronger potency, with K(I)s in the range of 11-22 nM. The antiglaucoma sulfonamides used clinically, except dichlorophenamide, which is a moderate inhibitor (K(I) of 50 nM), as well as topiramate, indisulam, and sulpiride behave as very potent hCA XII inhibitors, with K(I)s in the range of 3.0-5.7 nM. Several subnanomolar inhibitors (K(I)s in the range of 0.30-0.85 nM) have also been detected. Compounds with excellent selectivity against hCA XII over hCA II have been found, showing selectivity ratios in the range of 177.7-566.7. Apparently, hCA XII is a target of the antiglaucoma sulfonamides, and potent hCA XII inhibitors may be developed/used for the management of hypoxic tumors, together with inhibitors of the other tumor-associated isozyme, CA IX.

Title : Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors: inhibition of human cytosolic isozyme II and mitochondrial isozyme V with a series of benzene sulfonamide derivatives.

Abstract : Among the 14 human isozymes of carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) presently known, the cytosolic hCA II is the most active and plays a host of physiological functions, whereas the mitochondrial hCA V is unique due to its role in several biosynthetic reactions. An inhibition study of these isozymes with a series of sulfonamides is reported here, with the scope to detect lead molecules for the design of isozyme-specific CA inhibitors (CAIs) targeting the mitochondrial isoform. Indeed, recently it has been shown that CA V is a novel target for the drug design of anti-obesity agents among others. Compounds included in this study were mainly ortho-, meta-, and para-substituted-benzenesulfonamides, together with several halogeno-substituted sulfanilamides and disubstituted-benzene-1,3-disulfonamide derivatives. Isozyme V showed an inhibition profile with these sulfonamides different of that of hCA II. Thus, IC(50) values in the range of 80 nM to 74 microM against hCA II, and 0.78-63.7 microM against hCA V with these derivatives have been obtained. Only one compound, 2-carboxymethyl-benzenesulfonamide, was more active against hCA V over hCA II (selectivity ratio of 1.39), whereas all other derivatives investigated here were much better hCA II inhibitors (selectivity ratios CA II/CA V in the range of 0.0008-0.73) than hCA V inhibitors.

Abstract : A lately discovered carbonic anhydrase (hCA, EC 4.2.1.1), the mitochondrial hCA VB, was cloned, expressed, and purified. Kinetic parameters proved it to be 3.37 times more effective than hCA VA as a catalyst for the physiological reaction, with kcat = 9.5 x 10(5) s(-1) and kcat/K(M) = 9.8 x 10(7) M(-1) s(-1), being second only to hCA II among the 16 isoforms presently known in humans. We investigated the inhibition of hCA VB with a library of sulfonamides/sulfamates, some of which are clinically used compounds. Benzenesulfonamides were ineffective inhibitors, whereas derivatives bearing 4-amino, 4-hydrazino, 4-methyl, 4-carboxy moieties or halogenated sulfanilamides were more effective (Ki's of 1.56-4.3 microM). Among the 10 clinically used compounds, acetazolamide, benzolamide, topiramate, and indisulam showed effective inhibitory activity (Ki's of 18-62 nM). Three compounds showed better activity against hCA VB over hCA II, among which were sulpiride and ethoxzolamide, which were 2 times more effective inhibitors of the mitochondrial over the cytosolic isozyme. hCA VB is a druggable target and some of its inhibitors may lead to the development of novel antiobesity therapies.

Abstract : We have cloned and sequenced Helicobacter pylori alpha-class carbonic anhydrase (hpCA) from patients with different gastric mucosal lesions, including gastritis (n=15), ulcer (n=6), and cancer (n=16). Although several polymorphisms were newly identified such as 12Ala, 13Thr, 16Ile, and 168Phe, there was no significant relevance of any polymorphism with gastric mucosal lesion types. A library of sulfonamides/sulfamates has been investigated for the inhibition of hpCA, whereas new derivatives have been obtained by attaching 4-tert-butyl-phenylcarboxamido/sulfonamido tails to benzenesulfonamide/1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-sulfonamide scaffolds. All types of activity for inhibition of hpCA have been detected. Dorzolamide and simple 4-substituted benzenesulfonamides were weak inhibitors (KI 873-4360 nM). Sulfanilamide, orthanilamide, some of their derivatives, and indisulam showed better activity (KI 413-640 nM), whereas most of the clinically used inhibitors, such as methazolamide, ethoxzolamide, dichlorophenamide, brinzolamide, topiramate, zonisamide, etc., acted as medium-potency inhibitors (KI 105-378 nM). Some potent hpCA inhibitors were detected too (KI 12-84 nM) among acetazolamide, 4-amino-6-chloro-1,3-benzenedisulfonamide and some newly designed compounds incorporating lipophilic tails. Some of the newly prepared derivatives had selectivity ratios for inhibiting hpCA over hCA II in the range of 1.25-3.48, showing thus some selectivity for inhibiting the bacterial enzyme. Since hpCA is essential for the survival of the pathogen in acid, it might be used as a new pharmacologic tool in the management of drug-resistant H. pylori.

Abstract : A library of sulfonamides/sulfamates has been investigated for the inhibition of the carboxyterminal truncated form of the alpha-carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) isolated from the gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori (hpCA). This enzyme, incorporating 202 amino acid residues, showed a catalytic activity similar to that of the full length hpCA, with k(cat) of 2.35 x 10(5)s(-1) and k(cat)/K(M) of 1.56 x 10(7)M(-1)s(-1) at 25 degrees C and pH of 8.9, for the CO(2) hydration reaction. All types of activity for inhibition of the bacterial enzyme have been detected. Dorzolamide and simple 4-substituted benzenesulfonamides were weak hpCA inhibitors (inhibition constants, K(I)s, in the range of 830-4310 nM). Sulfanilamide, orthanilamide, some of their derivatives, and indisulam showed better activity (K(I)s in the range of 310-562 nM), whereas most of the clinically used CA inhibitors, such as methazolamide, ethoxzolamide, dichlorophenamide, brinzolamide, topiramate, zonisamide, etc., acted as medium potency hpCA inhibitors (K(I)s in the range of 124-287 nM). Some potent hpCA inhibitors were detected too (K(I)s in the range of 20-96 nM) such as acetazolamide, 4-amino-6-chloro-1,3-benzenedisulfonamide, 4-sulfanilyl-aminoethyl-benzenesulfonamide, and 4-(2-amino-pyrimidin-4-yl)-benzenesulfonamide. Most of the investigated derivatives acted as better inhibitors of the human isoform hCA II than as hpCA inhibitors. Since hpCA is essential for the survival of the pathogen in acid, its inhibition by compounds such as those investigated here might be used as a new pharmacologic tool in the management of drug resistant H. pylori.

Abstract : The secretory isozyme of human carbonic anhydrase (hCA, EC 4.2.1.1), hCA VI, has been cloned, expressed, and purified in a bacterial expression system. The kinetic parameters for the CO2 hydration reaction proved hCA VI to possess a kcat of 3.4 x 10(5) s-1 and kcat/KM of 4.9 x 10(7) M-1 s-1 (at pH 7.5 and 20 degrees C). hCA VI has a significant catalytic activity for the physiological reaction on the same order of magnitude as the ubiquitous isoform CA I or the transmembrane, tumor-associated isozyme CA IX. A series of sulfonamides and one sulfamate have been tested for their interaction with this isozyme. Simple benzenesulfonamides were rather ineffective hCA VI inhibitors, with inhibition constants in the range of 1090-6680 nM. Better inhibitors were detected among such derivatives bearing 2- or 4-amino-, 4-aminomethyl-, or 4-hydroxymethyl moieties or among halogenated sulfanilamides (KI values of 608-955 nM). Some clinically used compounds, such as acetazolamide, methazolamide, ethoxzolamide, dichlorophenamide, dorzolamide, brinzolamide, topiramate, sulpiride, and indisulam, or the orphan drug benzolamide, showed effective hCA VI inhibitory activity, with inhibition constants of 0.8-79 nM. The best inhibitors were brinzolamide and sulpiride (KI values of 0.8-0.9 nM), the latter compound being also a CA VI-selective inhibitor. The metallic taste reported as a side effect after the treatment with systemic sulfonamides may be due to the inhibition of the salivary CA VI. Some of the compounds investigated in this study might be used as additives in toothpastes for reducing the acidification produced by the relevant CO2 hydrase activity of enamel CA VI, which leads to the formation of protons and bicarbonate and may have a role in cariogenesis.

Abstract : Ligand efficiency (i.e., potency/size) has emerged as an important metric in drug discovery. In general, smaller, more efficient ligands are believed to have improved prospects for good drug properties (e.g., bioavailability). Our analysis of thousands of ligands across a variety of targets shows that ligand efficiency is dependent on ligand size with smaller ligands having greater efficiencies, on average, than larger ligands. We propose two primary causes for this size dependence: the inevitable reduction in the quality of fit between ligand and receptor as the ligand becomes larger and more complex and the reduction in accessible ligand surface area on a per atom basis as size increases. These results have far-ranging implications for analysis of high-throughput screening hits, fragment-based approaches to drug discovery, and even computational models of potency.

Abstract : The Rv3273 gene product of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a beta-carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1), mtCA 3, shows appreciable catalytic activity for CO(2) hydration (k(cat) of 4.3 x 10(5) s(-1), and k(cat)/K(m) of 4.0 x 10(7) M(-1) x s(-1)). A series of sulfonamides/sulfamates was assayed for their interaction with mtCA 3. Sulfanilyl-sulfonamides, acetazolamide, methazolamide, ethoxzolamide, dichlorophenamide, dorzolamide, brinzolamide, benzolamide, and zonisamide, showed effective, submicromolar inhibition (K(I)s of 104-611 nM), the best inhibitor being 2-amino-pyrimidin-4-yl-sulfanilamide (K(I) of 91 nM).

Abstract : The protein encoded by the Nce103 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a beta-carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) designated as scCA, has been cloned, purified, characterized kinetically and investigated for its inhibition with a series of sulfonamides and one sulfamate. The enzyme showed high CO(2) hydrase activity, with a k(cat) of 9.4x10(5)s(-1), and k(cat)/K(M) of 9.8x10(7)M(-1)s(-1). Simple benzenesulfonamides substituted in 2-, 4- and 3,4-positions of the benzene ring with amino, alkyl, halogeno and hydroxyalkyl moieties were weak scCA inhibitors with K(I)s in the range of 0.976-18.45 microM. Better inhibition (K(I)s in the range of 154-654 nM) was observed for benzenesulfonamides incorporating aminoalkyl/carboxyalkyl moieties or halogenosulfanilamides; benzene-1,3-disulfonamides; simple heterocyclic sulfonamides and sulfanilyl-sulfonamides. The clinically used sulfonamides/sulfamate (acetazolamide, ethoxzolamide, methazolamide, dorzolamide, topiramate, celecoxib, etc.) generally showed effective scCA inhibitory activity, with K(I)s in the range of 82.6-133 nM. The best inhibitor (K(I) of 15.1 nM) was 4-(2-amino-pyrimidin-4-yl)-benzenesulfonamide. These inhibitors may be useful to better understand the physiological role of beta-CAs in yeast and some pathogenic fungi which encode orthologues of the yeast enzyme and eventually for designing novel antifungal therapies.

Abstract : We have cloned and purified to homogeneity the latest member of the mammalian alpha-carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) family, the mouse CA XV (mCA XV) protein. An investigation on the post-translational modifications of the enzyme has also been performed. The enzyme shows a moderate catalytic activity for the physiologic reaction, similarly to the physiologically relevant isoforms CA I, IV, VI, XII, and XIV, and it is susceptible to inhibition by sulfonamides and sulfamates. Best mCA XV inhibitors were celecoxib, sulfanilyl-sulfonamides, methazolamide, ethoxzolamide, dorzolamide, brinzolamide, and sulthiame, with K(I)s in the range of 45-65 nM. Due to the presence of this enzyme in rather high amounts in the rodent kidneys, the contribution of this isoform to the overall drug response should be taken into account when animal models are used to investigate CA inhibitors.

Abstract : The beta-carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) encoded by the gene Rv1284 (mtCA 1) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis shows appreciable catalytic activity for CO(2) hydration, with a k(cat) of 3.9 x 10(5) s(-1) and a k(cat)/K(m) of 3.7 x 10(7) M(-1) s(-1). A panel of 36 sulfonamides and one sulfamate, some of which are used clinically, were assayed for their effect on mtCA 1 catalytic activity. Most sulfonamides exhibited K(I) values in the range of 1-10 microM, but several derivatives, including sulfanilyl-sulfonamides acetazolamide, methazolamide, dichlorophenamide, dorzolamide, brinzolamide, benzolamide, and the sulfamate topiramate, exhibited submicromolar inhibition (K(I) values of 0.481-0.905 microM). The best inhibitors were 3-bromosulfanilamide and indisulam (K(I) values of 97-186 nM). This study demonstrates that mtCA 1 can be inhibited by sulfonamides and sulfamates and thus has potential for developing antimycobacterial agents with an alternate mechanism of action. This is an important finding to explore further, as many strains exhibit multidrug resistance and extensive multidrug resistance to existing therapeutics.

Abstract : The beta-carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) from the fungal pathogen Candida albicans (Nce103) is involved in a CO(2) sensing pathway critical for the pathogen life cycle and amenable to drug design studies. Herein we report an inhibition study of Nce103 with a library of sulfonamides and one sulfamate, showing that Nce103, similarly to the related enzyme from Cryptococcus neoformans Can2, is inhibited by these compounds with K(I)s in the range of 132 nM-7.6 microM. The best Nce103 inhibitors were acetazolamide, methazolamide, bromosulfanilamide, and 4-hydroxymethylbenzenesulfonamide (K(I)s<500 nM). A homology model was generated for Nce103 based on the crystal structure of Can2. The model shows that compounds with zinc-binding groups incorporating less polar moieties and compact scaffolds generate stronger Nce103 inhibitors, whereas highly polar zinc-binding groups and bulkier compounds appear more promising for the specific inhibition of Can2. Such compounds may be useful for the design of antifungal agents possessing a new mechanism of action.

Abstract : The inhibition of a newly cloned coral carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) has been investigated with a series of sulfonamides, including some clinically used derivatives (acetazolamide, methazolamide, ethoxzolamide, dichlorophenamide, dorzolamide, brinzolamide, benzolamide, and sulpiride, or indisulam, a compound in clinical development as antitumor drug), as well as the sulfamate antiepileptic topiramate. Some simple amino-/hydrazine-/hydroxy-substituted aromatic/heterocyclic sulfonamides have also been included in the study. All types of activity have been detected, with low potency inhibitors (K(I)s in the range of 163-770nM), or with medium potency inhibitors (K(I)s in the range of 75.1-105nM), whereas ethoxzolamide, several clinically used sulfonamides and heterocyclic compounds showed stronger potency, with K(I)s in the range of 16-48.2nM. These inhibitors may be useful to better understand the physiological role of the Stylophora pistillata CA (STPCA) in corals and its involvement in biomineralisation in this era of global warming.

Abstract : The Rv3588c gene product of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a beta-carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) denominated here mtCA 2, shows the highest catalytic activity for CO(2) hydration (k(cat) of 9.8 x 10(5)s(-1), and k(cat)/K(m) of 9.3 x 10(7)M(-1)s(-1)) among the three beta-CAs encoded in the genome of this pathogen. A series of sulfonamides/sulfamates was assayed for their interaction with mtCA 2, and some diazenylbenzenesulfonamides were synthesized from sulfanilamide/metanilamide by diazotization followed by coupling with amines or phenols. Several low nanomolar mtCA 2 inhibitors have been detected among which acetazolamide, ethoxzolamide and some 4-diazenylbenzenesulfonamides (K(I)s of 9-59 nM). As the Rv3588c gene was shown to be essential to the growth of M. tuberculosis, inhibition of this enzyme may be relevant for the design of antituberculosis drugs possessing a novel mechanism of action.

Abstract : We proposed a novel QSAR (quantitative structure-activity relationship) procedure called LERE (linear expression by representative energy terms)-QSAR involving molecular calculations such as ab initio fragment molecular orbital and generalized Born/surface area ones. We applied LERE-QSAR to two datasets for the free-energy changes during complex formation between carbonic anhydrase and a series of substituted benzenesulfonamides. The first compound set (Set I) and the second one (Set II) include relatively small substituents and alkyl chains of different lengths in the benzene ring, respectively. Variation of the inhibitory activity in Set I is expressed as the combination of Hammett σ and the hydrophobic substituent constant π in classical QSAR, and variation in Set II only by π. LERE-QSAR analyses clearly revealed that effects of σ and π on the activity variations in Sets I and II are consistently explainable with the energy terms in the LERE formulation, and provide more detailed and direct information as to the binding mechanism. The proposed procedure was demonstrated to provide a quantitative basis for understanding ligand-protein interactions at the electronic and atomic levels.

Abstract : The catalytic activity and the inhibition of a new coral carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1), from the scleractinian coral Stylophora pistillata, STPCA-2, has been investigated. STPCA-2 has high catalytic activity for the physiological reaction being less sensitive to anion and sulfonamide inhibitors compared to STPCA, a coral enzyme previously described. The best STPCA-2 anion inhibitors were sulfamide, sulfamic acid, phenylboronic acid, and phenylarsonic acid (K(I)s of 5.7-67.2μM) whereas the best sulfonamide inhibitors were acetazolamide and dichlorophenamide (K(I)s of 74-79nM). Because this discriminatory effect between these two coral CAs, sulfonamides may be useful to better understand the physiological role of STPCA and STPCA-2 in corals and biomineralization processes.

Authors : Jacobsen JA, Fullagar JL, Miller MT, Cohen SM.
Abstract : Fragment-based lead design (FBLD) has been used to identify new metal-binding groups for metalloenzyme inhibitors. When screened at 1 mM, a chelator fragment library (CFL-1.1) of 96 compounds produced hit rates ranging from 29% to 43% for five matrix metalloproteases (MMPs), 24% for anthrax lethal factor (LF), 49% for 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO), and 60% for tyrosinase (TY). The ligand efficiencies (LE) of the fragment hits are excellent, in the range of 0.4-0.8 kcal/mol. The MMP enzymes all generally elicit the same chelators as hits from CFL-1.1; however, the chelator fragments that inhibit structurally unrelated metalloenzymes (LF, 5-LO, TY) vary considerably. To develop more advanced hits, one hit from CFL-1.1, 8-hydroxyquinoline, was elaborated at four different positions around the ring system to generate new fragments. 8-Hydroxyquinoline fragments substituted at either the 5- or 7-positions gave potent hits against MMP-2, with IC(50) values in the low micromolar range. The 8-hydroxyquinoline represents a promising new chelator scaffold for the development of MMP inhibitors that was discovered by use of a metalloprotein-focused chelator fragment library.

Abstract : Fragment-based lead design (FBLD) has been used to identify new metal-binding groups for metalloenzyme inhibitors. When screened at 1 mM, a chelator fragment library (CFL-1.1) of 96 compounds produced hit rates ranging from 29% to 43% for five matrix metalloproteases (MMPs), 24% for anthrax lethal factor (LF), 49% for 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO), and 60% for tyrosinase (TY). The ligand efficiencies (LE) of the fragment hits are excellent, in the range of 0.4-0.8 kcal/mol. The MMP enzymes all generally elicit the same chelators as hits from CFL-1.1; however, the chelator fragments that inhibit structurally unrelated metalloenzymes (LF, 5-LO, TY) vary considerably. To develop more advanced hits, one hit from CFL-1.1, 8-hydroxyquinoline, was elaborated at four different positions around the ring system to generate new fragments. 8-Hydroxyquinoline fragments substituted at either the 5- or 7-positions gave potent hits against MMP-2, with IC(50) values in the low micromolar range. The 8-hydroxyquinoline represents a promising new chelator scaffold for the development of MMP inhibitors that was discovered by use of a metalloprotein-focused chelator fragment library.

Abstract : A β-carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) from the bacterial pathogen Brucella suis, bsCA II, has been cloned, purified, and characterized kinetically. bsCA II showed high catalytic activity for the hydration of CO(2) to bicarbonate, with a k(cat) of 1.1×10(6), and k(cat)/K(m) of 8.9×10(7)M(-1)s(-1). A panel of sulfonamides and sulfamates have been investigated for inhibition of this enzyme. All types of activities, from the low nanomolar to the micromolar, have been detected for these derivatives, which showed inhibition constants in the range of 7.3nM-8.56μM. The best bsCA II inhibitors were some glycosylated sulfanilamides, aliphatic sulfamates, and halogenated sulfanilamides, with inhibition constants of 7.3-87nM. Some of these dual inhibitors of bsCA I and II, also inhibited bacterial growth in vitro, in liquid cultures. These promising data on live bacteria allow us to propose bacterial β-CA inhibition as an approach for obtaining anti-infective agents with a new mechanism of action compared to classical antibiotics.

Abstract : The two β-carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) from the bacterial pathogen Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, stCA 1 and stCA 2, were investigated for their inhibition with a large panel of sulfonamides and sulfamates. Unlike inorganic anions, which are weak, millimolar inhibitors of the two enzymes [Vullo et al., Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett.2011, 21, 3591], sulfonamides and sulfamates are effective micro-to nanomolar inhibitors of the two enzymes. Various types of inhibitors have been detected among the 38 investigated sulfonamides/sulfamates, with K(I)s in the range of 31 nM-5.87 μM. The best stCA 1 inhibitors were acetazolamide and benzolamide-based compounds, whereas the best stCA 2 inhibitors were sulfonylated benzenesulfonamides and amino-benzolamide derivatives (K(I)s in the range of 31-90 nM). 3-Fluoro-5-chloro-4-aminobenzolamide showed an inhibition constant of 51 nM against stCA 1 and of 38 nM against stCA 2, being the best inhibitor detected so far for these enzymes. As many strains of S. enterica show extensive resistance to classical antibiotics, inhibition of the β-CAs investigated here may be useful for developing novel antibacterials, targeting β-CAs which may be involved in pathogenicity and invasion of some bacteria.

Abstract : The α-carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) Astrosclerin-3 previously isolated from the living fossil sponge Astrosclera willeyana (Jackson et al., Science 2007, 316, 1893), was cloned, kinetically characterized and investigated for its inhibition properties with sulfonamides and sulfamates. Astrosclerin-3 has a high catalytic activity for the CO(2) hydration reaction to bicarbonate and protons (k(cat) of 9.0×10(5) s(-1) and k(cat)/K(m) of 1.1×10(8) M(-1) × s(-1)), and is inhibited by various aromatic/heterocyclic sulfonamides and sulfamates with inhibition constants in the range of 2.9 nM-8.85 μM. Astrosclerin, and the human isoform CA II, display similar kinetic properties and affinities for sulfonamide inhibitors, despite more than 550 million years of independent evolution. Because Astrosclerin-3 is involved in biocalcification, the inhibitors characterized here may be used to gain insights into such processes in other metazoans.

Abstract : A β-carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) from the fungal pathogen Malassezia globosa has been cloned, characterized, and studied for its inhibition with sulfonamides. This enzyme, designated MG-CA, has significant catalytic activity in the CO(2) hydration reaction and was inhibited by sulfonamides, sulfamates, and sulfamides with K(I) in the nanomolar to micromolar range. Several sulfonamides have also been investigated for the inhibition of growth of M. globosa, M. dermatis, M. pachydermatic, and M. furfur in cultures, whereas a mouse model of dandruff showed that treatment with sulfonamides led to fragmented fungal hyphae, as for the treatment with ketoconazole, a clinically used antifungal agent. These data prompt us to propose MG-CA as a new antidandruff drug target.

Abstract : We have cloned, purified, and characterized an α-carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) from the human pathogenic bacterium Vibrio cholerae, VchCA. The new enzyme has significant catalytic activity, and an inhibition study with sulfonamides and sulfamates led to the detection of a large number of low nanomolar inhibitors, among which are methazolamide, acetazolamide, ethoxzolamide, dorzolamide, brinzolamide, benzolamide, and indisulam (KI values in the range 0.69-8.1 nM). As bicarbonate is a virulence factor of this bacterium and since ethoxzolamide was shown to inhibit the in vivo virulence, we propose that VchCA may be a target for antibiotic development, exploiting a mechanism of action rarely considered until now.

Abstract : An α-carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) has been identified, cloned, and characterized from the unicellular protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease. The enzyme (TcCA) has a very high catalytic activity for the CO2 hydration reaction, being similar kinetically to the human (h) isoform hCA II, although it is devoid of the His64 proton shuttle. A large number of aromatic/heterocyclic sulfonamides and some 5-mercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazoles were investigated as TcCA inhibitors. The aromatic sulfonamides were weak inhibitors (K(I) values of 192 nM to 84 μM), whereas some heterocyclic compounds inhibited the enzyme with K(I) values in the range 61.6-93.6 nM. The thiols were the most potent in vitro inhibitors (K(I) values of 21.1-79.0 nM), and some of them also inhibited the epimastigotes growth of two T. cruzi strains in vivo.

Abstract : Carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC: 4.2.1.1) was purified from sheep kidney by affinity chromatography on a Sepharose 4B-tyrosine-sulfanilamide column. By means of two consecutive procedures, the enzyme (sCA) was purified 227.61-fold with a yield of 60.75%, and a specific activity of 838.89U/mg proteins. The optimum temperature, ionic strength and pH were determined to be 35°C, 20mM and 8.5, respectively. The molecular weight determined by SDS-PAGE was found to be 29kDa. The kinetic parameters, KM and Vmax values were determined for the 4-nitrophenyl acetate (p-NpA) hydrolysis reaction. Some sulfonamides were tested as inhibitors against the purified CAs enzyme. The Ki constants for benzenesulfonamide (1), sulfanilamide (2), mafenide (3), 4-(2-aminoethyl) benzenesulfonamide (4), 4-methyl-benzenesulfonamide (5), 2-bromo-benzenesulfonamide (6), naphthalene-2-sulfonamide (7), 4-amino-6-chlorobenzene-1,3-disulfonamide (8) and saccharin (9) were in the range 1.348-69.31μM.

Abstract : The fungal pathogen Candida glabrata encodes for a β-carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1), CgNce103, recently discovered. Only anions have been investigated as CgNce103 inhibitors up until now. Here we report the first sulfonamides inhibition study of this enzyme. Simple sulfonamides showed weak or moderate CgNce103 inhibitory properties, whereas acetazolamide, and a series of 4-substituted ureido-benzene-sulfonamides, sulfamates and sulfamides showed effective CgNce103 inhibitory properties, with KIs in the range of 4.1-115 nM, being also ineffective as human CA II inhibitors. As there is significant resistance of C. glabrata clinical isolates to many classical antifungal agents, inhibition of the β-CA from this organism may allow an interesting means of controlling the pathogen growth, eventually leading to antifungals with a novel mechanism of action.

Abstract : The δ-carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) TweCA from the marine diatom Thalassiosira weissflogii has recently been cloned, purified and its activity/inhibition with anions investigated. Here we report the first sulfonamide/sulfamate inhibition study of a δ-class CA. Among the 40 such compounds investigated so far, 3-bromosulfanilamide, acetazolamide, ethoxzolamide, dorzolamide and brinzolamide were the most effective TweCA inhibitors detected, with KIs of 49.6-118nM. Many simple aromatic sulfonamides as well as dichlorophenamide, benzolamide, topiramate, zonisamide, indisulam and valdecoxib were medium potency inhibitors, (KIs of 375-897nM). Saccharin and hydrochlorothiazide were ineffective inhibitors of the δ-class enzyme, with KIs of 4.27-9.20μM. The inhibition profile of the δ-CA is very different from that of α-, β- and γ-CAs from different organisms. Although no X-ray crystal structure of this enzyme is available, we hypothesize that as for other CA classes, the sulfonamides inhibit the enzymatic activity by binding to the Zn(II) ion from the δ-CA active site.

Abstract : A carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) denominated PgiCA, belonging to the γ-class, from the oral pathogenic bacteria Porphyromonas gingivalis, the main causative agent of periodontitis, was investigated for its inhibition profile with sulfonamides and one sulfamate. Dichlorophenamide, topiramate and many simple aromatic/heterocyclic sulfonamides were ineffective as PgiCA inhibitors whereas the best inhibition was observed with halogenosulfanilamides incorporating heavy halogens, 4-hydroxy- and 4-hydroxyalkyl-benzenesulfonamides, acetazolamide, methazolamide, zonisamide, indisulam, celecoxib, saccharin and hydrochlorothiazide (KIs in the range of 131-380nM). The inhibition profile of PgiCA was very different from that of CAM, hCA I and II or the β-CA from a protozoan parasite (Leishmania donovani chagasii). Identification of potent and possibly selective inhibitors of PgiCA may lead to pharmacological tools useful for understanding the physiological role(s) of this enzyme.

Abstract : Two β-carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) were identified, cloned and purified in the pathogenic bacterium Legionella pneumophila, denominated LpCA1 and LpCA2. They efficiently catalyze CO2 hydration to bicarbonate and protons, with kcat in the range of (3.4-8.3) × 10(5)s(-1) and kcat/Km of (4.7-8.5) × 10(7)M(-1)s(-1), and are inhibited by sulfonamides and sulfamates. The best LpCA1 inhibitors were aminobenzolamide and structurally similar sulfonylated aromatic sulfonamides, as well as acetazolamide and ethoxzolamide(KIs in the range of 40.3-90.5 nM). The best LpCA2 inhibitors belonged to the same class of sulfonylated sulfonamides, together with acetazolamide, methazolamide and dichlorophenamide (KIs in the range of 25.2-88.5 nM). As these enzymes may be involved in pH regulation in the phagosome during Legionella infection, their inhibition may lead to antibacterials with a novel mechanism of action.

As these enzymes may be involved in pH regulation in the phagosome during Legionella infection, their inhibition may lead to antibacterials with a novel mechanism of action.

Abstract : Two β-carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) were identified, cloned and purified in the pathogenic bacterium Legionella pneumophila, denominated LpCA1 and LpCA2. They efficiently catalyze CO2 hydration to bicarbonate and protons, with kcat in the range of (3.4-8.3) × 10(5)s(-1) and kcat/Km of (4.7-8.5) × 10(7)M(-1)s(-1), and are inhibited by sulfonamides and sulfamates. The best LpCA1 inhibitors were aminobenzolamide and structurally similar sulfonylated aromatic sulfonamides, as well as acetazolamide and ethoxzolamide(KIs in the range of 40.3-90.5 nM). The best LpCA2 inhibitors belonged to the same class of sulfonylated sulfonamides, together with acetazolamide, methazolamide and dichlorophenamide (KIs in the range of 25.2-88.5 nM). As these enzymes may be involved in pH regulation in the phagosome during Legionella infection, their inhibition may lead to antibacterials with a novel mechanism of action.

Abstract : The oral pathogenic bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis, encodes for two carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) one belonging to the γ-class (PgiCA) and another one to the β-class (PgiCAb). This last enzyme has been cloned and characterized here for its inhibition profile with the main class of CA inhibitors, the sulfonamides. Many of the clinically used sulfonamides as well as simple aromatic/heterocyclic sulfonamides were ineffective as PgiCAb inhibitors whereas better inhibition was observed with simple derivatives such as sulfanilamide, metanilamide, 4-aminoalkylbenzenesulfonamides (KIs of 364-475nM). The halogenosulfanilamides incorporating heavy halogens, 4-hydroxy- and 4-hydroxyalkyl-benzenesulfonamides, were also micromolar, ineffective PgiCAb inhibitors. The best inhibitors of the β-class enzyme were acetazolamide and ethoxzolamide, with KIs of 214-280nM. Interestingly, the γ-class enzyme was much more sensitive to sulfonamide inhibitors compared to the β-class one, PgiCAb. Identification of potent and possibly selective inhibitors of PgiCAb/PgiCA may lead to pharmacological tools useful for understanding the physiological role(s) of these enzymes, since this bacterium is the main causative agent of periodontitis and few treatment options are presently available.

Abstract : The η-carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) were recently discovered as the sixth genetic class of this metalloenzyme superfamily, and are so far known only in protozoa, including various Plasmodium species, the causative agents of malaria. We report here an inhibition study of the η-CA from Plasmodium falciparum (PfCA) against a panel of sulfonamides and one sulfamate compound, some of which are clinically used. The strongest inhibitors identified were ethoxzolamide and sulthiame, with KIs of 131-132 nM, followed by acetazolamide, methazolamide and hydrochlorothiazide (KIs of 153-198 nM). Brinzolamide, topiramate, zonisamide, indisulam, valdecoxib and celecoxib also showed significant inhibitory action against PfCA, with KIs ranging from 217 to 308 nM. An interesting observation was that the more efficient PfCA inhibitors are representative of several scaffolds and chemical classes, including benzene sulfonamides, monocyclic/bicyclic heterocyclic sulfonamides and compounds with a more complex scaffold (i.e., the sugar sulfamate derivative, topiramate, and the coxibs, celecoxib and valdecoxib). A comprehensive inhibition study of small molecules for η-CAs is needed as a first step towards assessing PfCA as a druggable target. The present work identifies the first known η-CA inhibitors and provides a platform for the development of next generation novel PfCA inhibitors.

Abstract : A carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) belonging to the γ-class has been cloned, purified and characterized from the Antarctic cyanobacterium Nostoc commune. The enzyme showed a good catalytic activity for the physiologic reaction (hydration of carbon dioxide to bicarbonate and a proton) with the following kinetic parameters, kcat of 9.5×10(5)s(-1) and kcat/KM of 8.3×10(7)M(-1)s(-1), being the γ-CA with the highest catalytic activity described so far. A range of aromatic/heterocyclic sulfonamides and one sulfamate were investigated as inhibitors of the new enzyme, denominated here NcoCA. The best NcoCA inhibitors were some sulfonylated sulfanilamide derivatives possessing elongated molecules, aminobenzolamide, acetazolamide, benzolamide, dorzolamide, brinzolamide and topiramate, which showed inhibition constants in the range of 40.3-92.3nM. As 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RubisCO) and γ-CAs are closely associated in carboxysomes of cyanobacteria for enhancing the affinity of RubisCO for CO2 and the efficiency of photosynthesis, investigation of this new enzyme and its affinity for modulators of its activity may bring new insights in these crucial processes.

Abstract : A β-carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) was cloned, purified and characterized from Anopheles gambiae, the mosquito species mainly involved in the transmission of malaria. The new enzyme, AgaCA, showed a significant catalytic activity for the physiologic reaction, CO2 hydration to bicarbonate and protons, with a kcat of 7.2×10(5)s(-1) and kcat/Km of 5.6×10(7)M(-1)s(-1), being thus similar to parasite β-CAs which were discovered earlier as drug targets for antifungal or anti-protozoan agents. An inhibition study of AgaCA with a panel of aromatic, aliphatic and heterocyclic sulfonamides allowed us to identify several low nanomolar inhibitors of the enzyme. Benzolamide and aminobenzolamide showed inhibition constants of 6.8-9.8nM, whereas a structurally related aromatic derivative, 4-(2-hydroxymethyl-4-nitrophenyl-sulfonamidoethyl)-benzenesulfonamide was the strongest inhibitor with a KI of 6.1nM. As β-CAs are not present in mammals, including humans, finding effective and selective A. gambiae CA inhibitors may lead to alternative procedures for controlling malaria by impairing the growth of its transmission vector, the mosquito.

Abstract : The Antarctic bacterium Pseudoalteromonas haloplanktis encodes for a γ-class carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1), which was cloned, purified and characterized. The enzyme (PhaCAγ) has a good catalytic activity for the physiologic reaction of CO2 hydration to bicarbonate and protons, with a k(cat) of 1.4×10(5) s(-1) and a k(cat)/K(m) of 1.9×10(6) M(-1)×s(-1). A series of sulfonamides and a sulfamate were investigated as inhibitors of the new enzyme. Methazolamide and indisulam showed the best inhibitory properties (K(I)s of 86.7-94.7 nM). This contribution shed new light on γ-CAs inhibition profiles with a relevant class of pharmacologic agents.

Abstract : We report a sulfonamide/sulfamate inhibition study of the α-carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) present in the gammaproteobacterium Thiomicrospira crunogena XCL-2, a mesophilic hydrothermal vent-isolate organism, TcruCA. As Thiomicrospira crunogena is one of thousands of marine organisms that uses CA for metabolic regulation, the effect of sulfonamide inhibition has been considered. Sulfonamide-based drugs have been widely used in a variety of antibiotics, and bioelimination of these compounds results in exposure of these compounds to marine life. The enzyme was highly inhibited, with Ki values ranging from 2.5 to 40.7nM by a variety of sulfonamides including acetazolamide, methazolamide, ethoxzolamide, dichlorophenamide, dorzolamide, brinzolamide, benzolamide and benzenesulfonamides incorporating 4-hydroxyalkyl moieties. Less effective inhibitors were topiramate, zonisamide, celecoxib, saccharin and hydrochlorothiazide as well as simple benzenesulfonamides incorporating amino, halogeno, alkyl, aminoalkyl and other moieties in the ortho- or para-positions of the aromatic ring (Kis of 202-933nM). The active site interactions between TcruCA and three clinically-used CA inhibitors, acetazolamide (Diamox®), dorzolamide (Trusopt®), and brinzolamide (Azopt®) are studied using molecular docking to provide insight into the reported Ki values. Comparison between various enzymes belonging to this family may also bring interesting hints in these fascinating phenomena.

Abstract : The genome of the pathogenic bacterium Vibrio cholerae encodes for three carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) belonging to the α-, β- and γ-classes. VchCA, the α-CA from this species was investigated earlier, whereas the β-class enzyme, VchCAβ was recently cloned, characterized kinetically and its X-ray crystal structure reported by this group. Here we report an inhibition study with sulfonamides and one sulfamate of this enzyme. The best VchCAβ inhibitors were deacetylated acetazolamide and methazolamide and hydrochlorothiazide, which showed inhibition constants of 68.2-87.0nM. Other compounds, with medium potency against VchCAβ, (KIs in the range of 275-463nM), were sulfanilamide, metanilamide, sulthiame and saccharin whereas the clinically used agents such as acetazolamide, methazolamide, ethoxzolamide, dorzolamide, zonisamide and celecoxib were micromolar inhibitors (KIs in the range of 4.51-8.57μM). Identification of potent and possibly selective inhibitors of VchCA and VchCAβ over the human CA isoforms, may lead to pharmacological tools useful for understanding the physiological role(s) of this under-investigated enzymes.

The enzyme (CpsCAγ) has a moderate catalytic activity for the physiologic reaction of CO2 hydration to bicarbonate and protons, with a k(cat) 6.0×10(5) s(-1) and a k(cat)/K(m) of 4.7×10(6) M(-1) s(-1). A series of sulfonamides and a sulfamate were investigated as inhibitors of the new enzyme. The best inhibitor was metanilamide (K(I) of 83.5 nM) followed by indisulam, valdecoxib, celecoxib, sulthiame and hydrochlorothiazide (K(I)s ranging between 343 and 491 nM). Acetazolamide, methazolamide as well as other aromatic/heterocyclic derivatives showed inhibition constants between 502 and 7660 nM. The present study may shed some more light regarding the role that γ-CAs play in the life cycle of psychrophilic bacteria as the Antarctic one investigated here, by allowing the identification of inhibitors which may be useful as pharmacologic tools.

Abstract : The genome of the newly identified bacterium Enterobacter sp. B13 encodes for a β-class carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1), EspCA. This enzyme was recently cloned, and characterized kinetically by this group (J. Enzyme Inhib. Med. Chem. 2016, 31). Here we report an inhibition study with sulfonamides and sulfamates of this enzyme. The best EspCA inhibitors were some sulfanylated sulfonamides with elongated molecules, metanilamide, 4-aminoalkyl-benzenesulfonamides, acetazolamide, and deacetylated methazolamide (KIs in the range of 58.7-96.5nM). Clinically used agents such as methazolamide, ethoxzolamide, dorzolamide, brinzolamide, benzolamide, zonisamide, sulthiame, sulpiride, topiramate and valdecoxib were slightly less effective inhibitors (KIs in the range of 103-138nM). Saccharin, celecoxib, dichlorophenamide and many simple benzenesulfonamides were even less effective as EspCA inhibitors, with KIs in the range of 384-938nM. Identification of effective inhibitors of this bacterial enzyme may lead to pharmacological tools useful for understanding the physiological role(s) of the β-class CAs in bacterial pathogenicity/virulence.

Abstract : Carbonic anhydrases (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) are ubiquitous metalloenzymes, which catalyze the conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) to bicarbonate (HCO3(-)) and protons (H(+)). In prokaryotes, the existence of genes encoding for α-, β- and γ-classes suggests that these enzymes play an important role in the prokaryotic physiology. It has been demonstrated, in fact, that their inhibition in vivo leads to growth impairment or growth defects of the microorganism. Ultimately, we started to investigate the biochemical properties and the inhibitory profiles of the α- and β-CAs identified in the genome of Vibrio cholerae, which is the causative agent of cholera. The genome of this pathogen encodes for CAs belonging to α, β and γ classes. Here, we report a sulfonamide inhibition study of the γ-CA (named VchCAγ) comparing it with data obtained for the α- and β-CA enzymes. VchCAγ activity (kcat=7.39 × 10(5)s(-1)) was significantly higher than the other γ-CAs. The inhibition study with a panel of sulfonamides and one sulfamate led to the detection of a large number of nanomolar VchCAγ inhibitors, including simple aromatic/heterocyclic sulfonamides (compounds 2-9, 11, 13-15, 24) as well as EZA, DZA, BRZ, BZA, TPM, ZNS, SLP, IND (KIs in the range of 66.2-95.3 nM). As it was proven that bicarbonate is a virulence factor of this bacterium and since ethoxzolamide was shown to inhibit this virulence in vivo, we propose that VchCA, VchCAβ and VchCAγ may be a target for antibiotic development, exploiting a mechanism of action rarely considered up until now, i.e., interference with bicarbonate supply as a virulence factor.

Abstract : A new γ-carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.1.1.1) was cloned and characterized kinetically in the genome of the bacterial pathogen Burkholderia pseudomallei, the etiological agent of melioidosis, an endemic disease of tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. The catalytic activity of this new enzyme, BpsCAγ, is significant with a kcat of 5.3×105s-1 and kcat/Km of 2.5×107M-1×s-1 for the physiologic CO2 hydration reaction. The inhibition constant value for this enzyme for 39 sulfonamide inhibitors was obtained. Acetazolamide, benzolamide and metanilamide were the most effective (KIs of 149-653nM) inhibitors of BpsCAγ activity, whereas other sulfonamides/sulfamates such as ethoxzolamide, topiramate, sulpiride, indisulam, sulthiame and saccharin were active in the micromolar range (KIs of 1.27-9.56μM). As Burkholderia pseudomallei is resistant to many classical antibiotics, identifying compounds that interfere with crucial enzymes in the B. pseudomallei life cycle may lead to antibiotics with novel mechanisms of action.

Abstract : Structure-kinetic relationship analyses and identification of dominating interactions for optimization of lead compounds should ideally be based on intrinsic rate constants instead of the more easily accessible observed kinetic constants, which also account for binding-linked reactions. The intrinsic rate constants for sulfonamide inhibitors and pharmacologically relevant isoforms of carbonic anhydrase were determined by a novel surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor-based approach, using chemodynamic analysis of binding-linked pH-dependent effects. The observed association rates ( kaobs) were pH-dependent and correlated with the fraction of deprotonated inhibitor and protonated zinc-bound water molecule. The intrinsic association rate constants ( kaintr) were pH independent and higher than kaobs. By contrast, the observed and intrinsic dissociation rate constants were identical and pH-independent, demonstrating that the observed association and dissociation mechanisms are inherently different. A model accounting for the differences between intrinsic and observed rate constants was developed, useful also for other interactions with binding-linked protonation reactions.

Abstract : A new β-class carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) has been cloned, purified and characterized in the genome of the pathogenic bacterium Francisella tularensis responsible of the febrile illness tularemia. This enzyme, FtuβCA, showed a kcat of 9.8 ×105s-1 and a kcat/KM of 8.9 ×107M-1s-1 for the CO2 hydration, physiological reaction, being one of the most effective β-CAs known to date, with a catalytic activity only 1.68-times lower than that of the human(h) isoform hCA II. A panel of 39 simple aromatic and heterocyclic sulfonamides, as well as clinically used drugs incorporating sulfonamide/sulfamate zinc-binding groups, was used to investigate the inhibition profile of FtuβCA with these classes of derivatives. The enzyme generally showed a weaker affinity for these inhibitors compared to other α- and β-CAs investigated earlier, with only acetazolamide and its deacetylated precursor having inhibition constant <1µM. Indeed, the two compounds acetazolamide AAZ and its deacetylated precursor 13 (KIs of 655-770nM), as well as metanilamide and methazolamide (KIs of 2.53-2.92µM), were the best FtuβCA inhibitors detected so far. As the physiological role of bacterial β-CAs is poorly understood for the virulence/life cycle of these pathogens, the present study may constitute a starting point for the design of effective pathogenic bacteria CA inhibitors with potential use as antiinfectives.

Abstract : To identify possible candidates for progression towards clinical studies against SARS-CoV-2, we screened a well-defined collection of 5632 compounds including 3488 compounds which have undergone clinical investigations (marketed drugs, phases 1 -3, and withdrawn) across 600 indications. Compounds were screened for their inhibition of viral induced cytotoxicity using the human epithelial colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line Caco-2 and a SARS-CoV-2 isolate. The primary screen of 5632 compounds gave 271 hits. A total of 64 compounds with IC50 <20 µM were identified, including 19 compounds with IC50 < 1 µM. Of this confirmed hit population, 90% have not yet been previously reported as active against SARS-CoV-2 in-vitro cell assays. Some 37 of the actives are launched drugs, 19 are in phases 1-3 and 10 pre-clinical. Several inhibitors were associated with modulation of host pathways including kinase signaling P53 activation, ubiquitin pathways and PDE activity modulation, with long chain acyl transferases were effective viral inhibitors.

Abstract : We report the cloning, purification and characterization of the full domain of carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) from Plasmodium falciparum, which incorporates 358 amino acid residues (from 181 to 538, in the sequence of this 600 amino acid long protein), called PfCAdom. The enzyme, which belongs to the η-CA class showed the following kinetic parameters: kcat of 3.8×10(5)s(-1) and kcat/Km of 7.2×10(7)M(-1)×s(-1), being 13.3 times more effective as a catalyst compared to the truncated form PfCA. PfCAdom is more effective than the human (h) isoform hCA I, being around 50% less effective compared to hCA II, one of the most catalytically efficient enzymes known so far. Intriguingly, the sulfonamides CA inhibitors generally showed much weaker inhibitory activity against PfCAdom compared to PfCA, prompting us to hypothesize that the 69 amino acid residues insertion present in the active site of this η-CA is crucial for the active site architecture. The best sulfonamide inhibitors for PfCAdom were acetazolamide, methazolamide, metanilamide and sulfanilamide, with KIs in the range of 366-808nM.

Abstract : Compound repurposing is an important strategy being pursued in the identification of effective treatment against the SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 disease. In this regard, SARS-CoV-2 main protease (M-Pro), also termed 3CL-Pro, is an attractive drug target as it plays a central role in viral replication by processing the viral polyprotein into 11 non-structural proteins. We report the results of a screening campaign involving ca 8.7 K compounds containing marketed drugs, clinical and preclinical candidates, and chemicals regarded as safe in humans. We confirmed previously reported inhibitors of 3CL-Pro, but we have also identified 68 compounds with IC50 lower than 1 uM and 127 compounds with IC50 lower than 5 uM. Profiling showed 67% of confirmed hits were selective (> 5 fold) against other Cys- and Ser- proteases (Chymotrypsin and Cathepsin-L) and MERS 3CL-Pro. Selected compounds were also analysed in their binding characteristics.

Abstract : Worldwide, there are intensive efforts to identify repurposed drugs as potential therapies against SARS-CoV-2 infection and the associated COVID-19 disease. To date, the anti-inflammatory drug dexamethasone and (to a lesser extent) the RNA-polymerase inhibitor remdesivir have been shown to be effective in reducing mortality and patient time to recovery, respectively, in patients. Here, we report the results of a phenotypic screening campaign within an EU-funded project (H2020-EXSCALATE4COV) aimed at extending the repertoire of anti-COVID therapeutics through repurposing of available compounds and highlighting compounds with new mechanisms of action against viral infection. We screened 8702 molecules from different repurposing libraries, to reveal 110 compounds with an anti-cytopathic IC50 < 20 µM. From this group, 18 with a safety index greater than 2 are also marketed drugs, making them suitable for further study as potential therapies against COVID-19. Our result supports the idea that a systematic approach to repurposing is a valid strategy to accelerate the necessary drug discovery process.
