A series of new 3- and 7-substituted sulfocoumarins was obtained by several cyclization reactions and subsequent derivatization for screening as prodrug inhibitors of the human (h) cancer-associated carbonic anhydrases (CAs) IX and XII. All products were ineffective inhibitors against the off-target hCA I and II, whilst hCAs IX and XII were inhibited with inhibition constants (KIs) spanning from low nanomolar to the high micromolar range, according to the sulfocoumarin derivatization pattern. In particular, sulfocoumarin 15 turned out to be the most potent and selective inhibitor herein reported (hCA I and II: KI > 100 µM; hCA IX: KI = 22.9 nM; hCA XII: KI = 19.2 nM). Considering that hCA IX and XII 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.
一系列新的3-和7-取代磺酰香豆素通过多个环化反应和随后的衍生化反应获得,用于筛选作为人类(h)癌症相关的碳酸酐酶(CAs)IX和XII的前药抑制剂。所有产物都对非靶向的hCA I和II无效,而hCAs IX和XII则被抑制,抑制常数(KIs)根据磺酰香豆素的衍生化模式在低纳摩尔到高微摩尔范围内变化。特别是,磺酰香豆素15被证明是此处报道的最有效和选择性的抑制剂(hCA I和II:KI> 100µM;hCA IX:KI = 22.9 nM;hCA XII:KI = 19.2 nM)。考虑到hCA IX和XII是经过验证的抗肿瘤靶点,因此此处报道的磺酰香豆素等前药、同工酶选择性抑制剂可能有助于鉴定适合的药物候选物进行临床试验。
