A Class of Sulfonamides with Strong Inhibitory Action against the α-Carbonic Anhydrase from Trypanosoma cruzi
摘要:
Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease, encodes for an alpha-carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) possessing high catalytic activity (TcCA) which was recently characterized (Pan et al. J. Med. Chem. 2013, 56, 1761-1771). A new class of sulfonamides possessing low nanomolar/subnanomolar TcCA inhibitory activity is described here. Aromatic/heterocydic sulfonamides incorporating halogeno/methoxyphenacetamido tails inhibited TcCA with K(I)s in the range of 0.5-12.5 nM, being less effective against the human off-target isoforms hCA I and II. A homology model of TcCA helped us to rationalize the excellent inhibition profile of these compounds against the protozoan enzyme, a putative new antitrypanosoma drug target. These compounds were ineffective antitrypanosomal agents in vivo due to penetrability problems of these highly polar molecules that possess sulfonamide moieties.

Here, we investigate 28 structurally new sulfonamides and their subsequent testing for enzyme inhibition of cytosolic and tumor-associated carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1). The compounds showed very potent inhibition of four physiologically relevant human (h) CA isoforms, namely hCA I, II, IX and XII. Interestingly, the K-I values were in the nanomolar range for the tumor-associated hCA IX and hCA XII. Docking studies have revealed details regarding the very favorable interactions between the scaffolds of this new class of inhibitors and the active sites of the investigated CA isoforms. As there are reported cases of tumors overexpressing both CA II and IX, such potent inhibitors for the two isoforms as those detected in this work, may have applications for targeting more than one CA present in tumors.
