Selective inhibition of tumor-associated carbonic anhydrase (CA; EC 4.2.1.1) isoforms IX and XII is a crucial prerequisite to develop successful anticancer therapeutics. Herein, we confirmed the efficacy of the 3-nitrobenzoic acid substructure in the design of potent and selective carboxylic acid derivatives as CAs inhibitors. Compound <b>10</b> emerged as the most potent inhibitor of the tumor-associated hCA IX and XII (<i>K</i><sub>i</sub> = 16 and 82.1 nM, respectively) with a significant sel ...[more]
