The Glitazone Class of Drugs as Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors-A Spin-Off Discovery from Fragment Screening.

ABSTRACT: The approved drugs that target carbonic anhydrases (CA, EC 4.2.1.1), a family of zinc metalloenzymes, comprise almost exclusively of primary sulfonamides (R-SO₂NH₂) as the zinc binding chemotype. New clinical applications for CA inhibitors, particularly for hard-to-treat cancers, has driven a growing interest in the development of novel CA inhibitors. We recently discovered that the thiazolidinedione heterocycle, where the ring nitrogen carries no substituent, is a new zinc binding group and an alternate CA inhibitor chemotype. This heterocycle is curiously also a substructure of the glitazone class of drugs used in the treatment options for type 2 diabetes. Herein, we investigate and characterise three glitazone drugs (troglitazone 11, rosiglitazone 12 and pioglitazone 13) for binding to CA using native mass spectrometry, protein X-ray crystallography and hydrogen-deuterium exchange (HDX) mass spectrometry, followed by CA enzyme inhibition studies. The glitazone drugs all displayed appreciable binding to and inhibition of CA isozymes. Given that thiazolidinediones are not credited as a zinc binding group nor known as CA inhibitors, our findings indicate that CA may be an off-target of these compounds when used clinically. Furthermore, thiazolidinediones may represent a new opportunity for the development of novel CA inhibitors as future drugs.

Discovery of the first-in-class potent and isoform-selective human carbonic anhydrase III inhibitors.

Project description:Considering the unrecognised physio-pathological role of human carbonic anhydrase III (hCA III), a structure-based drug design was set up to identify the first-in-class potent and selective inhibitors of this neglected isoform. hCA III targeting was planned considering a unique feature of its active site among the other hCA isoforms, i.e. the Leu198/Phe198 substitution which interferes with the binding of aromatic/heterocyclic sulfonamides and other inhibitors. Thus, new aliphatic primary sulfonamides possessing long and flexible (CH2)nSO2NH2 moieties were designed to coordinate the zinc(II) ion, bypassing the bulky Phe198 residue. They incorporate 1,2,3-triazole linkers which connect the tail moieties to the sulfonamide head, enhancing thus the contacts at the active site entrance. Some of these compounds act as nanomolar and selective inhibitors of hCA III over other isoforms. Docking/molecular dynamics simulations were used to investigate ligand/target interactions for these sulfonamides which might improve our understanding of the physio-pathological roles of hCA III.

Sulfa drugs as inhibitors of carbonic anhydrase: new targets for the old drugs.

Project description:Sulfa drugs are well-known antibacterial agents containing N-substituted sulfonamide group on para position of aniline ring (NH2RSO2NHR'). In this study 2,4-dichloro-1,3,5-triazine derivatives of sulfa drugs, sulfamerazine (1b), sulfaquinoxaline (2b), sulfadiazine (3b), sulfadimidine (4b), and sulfachloropyrazine (5b) (1a-5a) were synthesized and characterized. Their carbonic anhydrase inhibition activity was evaluated against bovine cytosolic carbonic anhydrase isozyme II (bCA II). For the sake of comparison the CA inhibition activity of the parent sulfa drugs (1b-5b) was also evaluated. A significant increase in CA inhibition activity of sulfa drugs was observed upon substitution with 2,4-dichloro-1,3,5-triazine moiety. Molecular docking studies were carried out to highlight binding site interactions. ADME properties were calculated to evaluate drug likeness of the compounds.

Discovery of New Sulfonamide Carbonic Anhydrase IX Inhibitors Incorporating Nitrogenous Bases.

Project description:Incorporation of the purine/pyrimidine moieties as tails to classical benzenesulfonamide scaffolds afforded two series of human (h) carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) inhibitors. The compounds were designed according to the molecular hybridization approach, in order to modulate the interaction with different CA isozymes and exploit the antitumor effect of uracil and adenine derivatives in parallel and synergic mode to the inhibition of the tumor-associated hCA IX. The sulfonamides were investigated as inhibitors of four isoforms, cytosolic hCA I/II and transmembrane hCA IV/IX. The inhibitory profiles were dependent on the length and positioning of the spacer connecting the two pharmacophores. X-ray crystallography demonstrated the binding mode of an inhibitor to hCA II and hCA IX-mimic. Compounds endowed with the best hCA IX inhibitory efficacy were evaluated for antiproliferative activity against HT-29 colon cancer cell lines. The in vitro results suggest multiple mechanisms of action are responsible for the compounds' cytotoxic efficacy.

Discovery of Potent Carbonic Anhydrase and Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitors: 2-Aminoindan ?-Lactam Derivatives.

Project description:?-Lactams are pharmacologically important compounds because of their various biological uses, including antibiotic and so on. ?-Lactams were synthesized from benzylidene-inden derivatives and acetoxyacetyl chloride. The inhibitory effect of these compounds was examined for human carbonic anhydrase I and II (hCA I, and II) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE). The results reveal that ?-lactams are inhibitors of hCA I, II and AChE. The Ki values of ?-lactams (2a-k) were 0.44-6.29 nM against hCA I, 0.93-8.34 nM against hCA II, and 0.25-1.13 nM against AChE. Our findings indicate that ?-lactams (2a-k) inhibit both carbonic anhydrases (CA) isoenzymes and AChE at low nanomolar concentrations.

Multitargeting approaches involving carbonic anhydrase inhibitors: hybrid drugs against a variety of disorders.

Project description:Carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) are enzymes involved in a multitude of diseases, and their inhibitors are in clinical use as drugs for the management of glaucoma, epilepsy, obesity, and tumours. In the last decade, multitargeting approaches have been proposed by hybridisation of CA inhibitors (CAIs) of sulphonamide, coumarin, and sulphocoumarin types with NO donors, CO donors, prostaglandin analogs, β-adrenergic blockers, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and a variety of anticancer agents (cytotoxic drugs, kinase/telomerase inhibitors, P-gp and thioredoxin inhibitors). Many of the obtained hybrids showed enhanced efficacy compared to the parent drugs, making multitargeting an effective and innovative approach for various pharmacological applications.

Discovery of New Selenoureido Analogues of 4-(4-Fluorophenylureido)benzenesulfonamide as Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors.

Project description:A series of benzenesulfonamides bearing selenourea moieties was obtained considering the ureido-sulfonamide SLC-0111, in Phase I clinical trials as antitumor agent, as a lead molecule. All compounds showed interesting inhibition potencies against the physiologically relevant human (h) carbonic anhydrase (hCAs, EC 4.2.1.1) isoforms I, II, IV, and IX. The most flexible analogues in the series 14-19 showed low nanomolar inhibition constants against hCA I, II, and IX. We assessed selected compounds on the in vitro antioxidant properties and binding modes and evaluated ex vivo human prostate (PC3), breast (MDA-MB-231), and colon-rectal (HT-29) cancer cell lines both in normoxic and hypoxic conditions.

Discovery of Kinase and Carbonic Anhydrase Dual Inhibitors by Machine Learning Classification and Experiments.

Project description:A multi-target small molecule modulator is advantageous for treating complicated diseases such as cancers. However, the strategy and application for discovering a multi-target modulator have been less reported. This study presents the dual inhibitors for kinase and carbonic anhydrase (CA) predicted by machine learning (ML) classifiers, and validated by biochemical and biophysical experiments. ML trained by CA I and CA II inhibitor molecular fingerprints predicted candidates from the protein-specific bioactive molecules approved or under clinical trials. For experimental tests, three sulfonamide-containing kinase inhibitors, 5932, 5946, and 6046, were chosen. The enzyme assays with CA I, CA II, CA IX, and CA XII have allowed the quantitative comparison in the molecules' inhibitory activities. While 6046 inhibited weakly, 5932 and 5946 exhibited potent inhibitions with 100 nM to 1 μM inhibitory constants. The ML screening was extended for finding CAs inhibitors of all known kinase inhibitors. It found XMU-MP-1 as another potent CA inhibitor with an approximate 30 nM inhibitory constant for CA I, CA II, and CA IX. Differential scanning fluorimetry confirmed the direct interaction between CAs and small molecules. Cheminformatics studies, including docking simulation, suggest that each molecule possesses two separate functional moieties: one for interaction with kinases and the other with CAs.

Role of Carbonic Anhydrase in Cerebral Ischemia and Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors as Putative Protective Agents.

Project description:Ischemic stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. The only pharmacological treatment available to date for cerebral ischemia is tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) and the search for successful therapeutic strategies still remains a major challenge. The loss of cerebral blood flow leads to reduced oxygen and glucose supply and a subsequent switch to the glycolytic pathway, which leads to tissue acidification. Carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) is the enzyme responsible for converting carbon dioxide into a protons and bicarbonate, thus contributing to pH regulation and metabolism, with many CA isoforms present in the brain. Recently, numerous studies have shed light on several classes of carbonic anhydrase inhibitor (CAI) as possible new pharmacological agents for the management of brain ischemia. In the present review we summarized pharmacological, preclinical and clinical findings regarding the role of CAIs in strokes and we discuss their potential protective mechanisms.

Toward the Discovery of a Novel Class of Leads for High Altitude Disorders by Virtual Screening and Molecular Dynamics Approaches Targeting Carbonic Anhydrase.

Project description:For decades, carbonic anhydrase (CA) inhibitors, most notably the acetazolamide-bearing 1,3,4-thiadiazole moiety, have been exploited at high altitudes to alleviate acute mountain sickness, a syndrome of symptomatic sensitivity to the altitude characterized by nausea, lethargy, headache, anorexia, and inadequate sleep. Therefore, inhibition of CA may be a promising therapeutic strategy for high-altitude disorders. In this study, co-crystallized inhibitors with 1,3,4-thiadiazole, 1,3-benzothiazole, and 1,2,5-oxadiazole scaffolds were employed for pharmacophore-based virtual screening of the ZINC database, followed by molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation studies against CA to find possible ligands that may emerge as promising inhibitors. Compared to the co-crystal ligands of PDB-1YDB, 6BCC, and 6IC2, ZINC12336992, ZINC24751284, and ZINC58324738 had the highest docking scores of -9.0, -9.0, and -8.9 kcal/mol, respectively. A molecular dynamics (MD) simulation analysis of 100 ns was conducted to verify the interactions of the top-scoring molecules with CA. The system's backbone revealed minor fluctuations, indicating that the CA-ligand complex was stable during the simulation period. Simulated trajectories were used for the MM-GBSA analysis, showing free binding energies of -16.00 ± 0.19, -21.04 ± 0.17, and -19.70 ± 0.18 kcal/mol, respectively. In addition, study of the frontier molecular orbitals of these compounds by DFT-based optimization at the level of B3LYP and the 6-311G(d,p) basis set showed negative values of the HOMO and LUMO, indicating that the ligands are energetically stable, which is essential for forming a stable ligand-protein complex. These molecules may prove to be a promising therapy for high-altitude disorders, necessitating further investigations.
