Novel pyrrole and pyrrolopyrimidine scaffold-based sulfonamides were designed and synthesized. The carbonic anhydrase (CA) inhibition ability of all derivatives was assessed against the human (h) cytosolic isoforms hCA I and II and the transmembrane, tumor-associated isoforms hCA IX and XII. Some of these sulfonamides were 6-8 fold more potent than the reference drug acetazolamide (AZA, K-i = 5.7 nM)) against hCA XII showing subnanomolar activity. The in vitro cytotoxicity of these derivatives was evaluated against MCF-7, where some derivatives were more cytotoxic than doxorubicin (IC50 = 8.02 mu M) displaying IC50 values between 6.46 and 7.56 mu M. Docking of these sulfonamides with CA XII was performed and their binding modes were comparable with that of AZA. (C) 2014 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
