Synthesis of 6-tetrazolyl-substituted sulfocoumarins acting as highly potent and selective inhibitors of the tumor-associated carbonic anhydrase isoforms IX and XII
摘要:
A series of 6-substituted sulfocoumarins incorporating substituted-1,2,3,4-tetrazol-5-yl moieties were synthesized by reaction of 6-iodo-sulfocoumarin and the corresponding tetrazole via the CH activation reaction. The new sulfocoumarins incorporating alkyl and substituted aryl moieties at the 1-position of the tetrazole, were investigated for the inhibition of four human (h) carbonic anhydrase (hCA, EC 4.2.1.1) isoforms, the cytosolic hCA I and II; and the transmembrane, tumor-associated hCA IX and XII. The tetrazole-substituted sulfocoumarins did not inhibit the ubiquitous, off-target cytosolic isoforms (K(I)s > 10 mu M) but showed effective inhibition against the two transmembrane CAs, with KIs ranging from 6.5 to 68.6 nM against hCA IX, and between 4.3 and 59.8 nM against hCA XII. As hCA IX and XII are validated anti-tumor targets, such prodrug, isoform-selective inhibitors as the sulfocoumarins reported here, may be useful for identifying suitable drug candidates for clinical trials.

6-Substituted sulfocoumarins bearing the carboxamido, trimethylammonium as well as the cyano and methoxy moieties with interesting inhibitory activity/selectivity against the tumor associated carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) isoforms hCA IX and XII are reported. Moieties leading to the best inhibition were tert-butylcarboxamido, phenylcarboxamido, and 4-pyridylcarboxamido, with K-I values of 2.1-8.1 nM. No inhibition of the off-target hCA II and I was observed. A number of these compounds were evaluated against HT-29 colon cancer cell lines ex vivo. Compounds 9c and 9e revealed effective cytotoxic effects after 72 h of incubation in both normoxic and hypoxic conditions, unlike sulfonamide CA inhibitors that show such effects only in hypoxia. These results may be of particular importance for the choice of future drug candidates targeting hypoxic tumors and metastases, considering the fact that a sulfonamide CA IX inhibitor (SLC-0111) is presently in phase I clinical trials.
