The tumor-associated isoenzymes <i>h</i>CA IX and <i>h</i>CA XII catalyze the hydration of carbon dioxide to bicarbonate and protons. These isoforms are highly overexpressed in many types of cancer, where they contribute to the acidification of the tumor environment, promoting tumor cell invasion and metastasis. In this work, in order to identify novel dual <i>h</i>CA IX and XII inhibitors, virtual screening techniques and biological assays were combined. A structure-based virtual screening towa ...[more]
