Sulfamates of methyl triterpenoates are effective and competitive inhibitors of carbonic anhydrase II
摘要:
Carbonic anhydrase II, belonging to one of the most important enzyme groups of the human body, is a well-studied isozyme from the family of the carbonic anhydrases. Since it is involved in several physiological processes, it has been a pharmaceutical target for many years. In this study we synthesized a number of sulfamates derived from pentacyclic methyl triterpenoates, and we demonstrate their potential as carbonic anhydrase II inhibitors using the well-established photometric 4-nitrophenyl acetate assay. Inhibition constants, as an indicator of their inhibition strength, were in the micromolar range; one compound (10, methyl (3 beta) 3-(aminosulfonyloxy)-oleanoate) showed a K-i value as low as 0.3 mu M. This K-i value is comparable to that of acetazolamide which is a potent carbonic anhydrase inhibitor and a drug for the treatment of glaucoma. (C) 2014 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
