Novel Insights on Human Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors Based on Coumalic Acid: Design, Synthesis, Molecular Modeling Investigation, and Biological Studies

ABSTRACT: Human carbonic anhydrase (hCA, EC 4.2.1.1) isoforms IX and XII are overexpressed in solid hypoxic tumors, and they are considered as prognostic tools and therapeutic targets for cancer. Based on a molecular simplification of the well-known coumarin scaffold, we developed a new series of derivatives of the pyran-2-one core. The new compounds are endowed with potent and selective inhibitory activity against the tumor-related hCA isoforms IX and XII, in the low nanomolar range, whereas they are inactive against the two cytosolic off-targets hCA I and II. The compounds exhibiting the best hCA inhibition were further investigated against the breast adenocarcinoma cell line (MCF7) in hypoxic conditions, evaluating their ability to eventually synergize with doxorubicin. The compounds’ biocompatibility on healthy cells was also tested and confirmed on Human Gingival Fibroblasts (HGFs). Furthermore, the possible binding mode of all compounds to the active site of the tumor-associated human CA IX was investigated by computational techniques which predicted the binding conformations and the persistency of binding poses within the active site of the enzyme, furnishing relevant data for the design of tight binding inhibitors.

Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors: design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of novel sulfonyl semicarbazide derivatives.

Project description:A series of novel sulfonyl semicarbazides 5-13 was designed, synthesized, and evaluated for human carbonic anhydrase (hCA) inhibition. The new sulfonyl semicarbazides were tested against a panel of hCA isoforms I, II, IX, and XII, using acetazolamide (AZA, 1) as standard. All the sulfonyl semicarbazides showed subnanomolar affinity for hCA XII (pK i range 0.59-0.79 nM) and high selectivity over hCA I (58-114-fold) and hCA IX (26-114-fold) compared to hCA II (5-20-fold except 11, 121-fold). The importance of the nature of para-substitution on the sulfonyl substituted aromatic ring for potency and selectivity against one hCA isoform versus others is discussed. Overall, the research work led to the development of highly potent and selective hCA inhibitors.

Novel insights on saccharin- and acesulfame-based carbonic anhydrase inhibitors: design, synthesis, modelling investigations and biological activity evaluation.

Project description:A large library of saccharin and acesulfame derivatives has been synthesised and evaluated against four isoforms of human carbonic anhydrase, the two off-targets hCA I/II and the tumour related isoforms hCA IX/XII. Different strategies of scaffold modification have been attempted on both saccharin as well as acesulfame core leading to the obtainment of 60 compounds. Some of them exhibited inhibitory activity in the nanomolar range, albeit some of the performed changes led to either micromolar activity or to its absence, against hCA IX/XII. Molecular modelling studies focused the attention on the binding mode of these compounds to the enzyme. The proposed inhibition mechanism is the anchoring to zinc-bound water molecule. Docking studies along with molecular dynamics also underlined the importance of the compounds flexibility (e.g. achieved through the insertion of methylene group) which favoured potent and selective hCA inhibition.

Synthesis, biological activity and multiscale molecular modeling studies for coumaryl-carboxamide derivatives as selective carbonic anhydrase IX inhibitors.

Project description:New coumaryl-carboxamide derivatives with the thiourea moiety as a linker between the alkyl chains and/or the heterocycle nucleus were synthesized and their inhibitory activity against the human carbonic anhydrase (hCA) isoforms hCA I, II, VII and IX were evaluated. While the hCA I, II and VII isoforms were not inhibited by the investigated compounds, the tumour-associated isoform hCA IX was inhibited in the high nanomolar range. 2-Oxo-N-((2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)ethyl)carbamothioyl)-2H-chromene-3-carboxamide (e11) exhibited a selective inhibitory action against hCA IX with the Ki of 107.9?nM. In order to better understand the inhibitory profiles of studied molecules, multiscale molecular modeling approaches were used. Different molecular docking algorithms were used to investigate binding poses and predicted binding energies of studied compounds at the active sites of the CA I, II, VII and IX isoforms.

Design, synthesis and molecular modelling studies of some pyrazole derivatives as carbonic anhydrase inhibitors.

Project description:In this study, newly synthesised compounds 6, 8, 10 and other compounds (1-5, 7 and 9) and their inhibitory properties against the human isoforms hCA I and hCA II were reported for the first time. Compounds 1-10 showed effective inhibition profiles with KI values in the range of 5.13-16.9 nM for hCA I and of 11.77-67.39 nM against hCA II, respectively. Molecular docking studies were also performed with Glide XP to get insight into the inhibitory activity and to evaluate the binding modes of the synthesised compounds to hCA I and II. More rigorous binding energy calculations using MM-GBSA protocol which agreed well with observed activities were then performed to improve the docking scores. Results of in silico calculations showed that all compounds obey drug likeness properties. The new compounds reported here might be promising lead compounds for the development of new potent inhibitors as alternatives to classical hCA inhibitors.

Design, Synthesis and Biological Assessment of Rhodanine-Linked Benzenesulfonamide Derivatives as Selective and Potent Human Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors.

Project description:A novel series of twenty-five rhodamine-linked benzenesulfonamide derivatives (7a-u and 9a-d) were synthesized and screened for their inhibitory action against four physiologically relevant human (h) carbonic anhydrase (CA) isoforms, namely hCA I, hCA II, hCA IX, and hCA XII. All the synthesized molecules showed good to excellent inhibition against all the tested isoforms in the nanomolar range due to the presence of the sulfonamide as a zinc binding group. The target compounds were developed from indol-3-ylchalcone-linked benzenesulfonamide where the indol-3-ylchalcone moiety was replaced with rhodanine-linked aldehydes or isatins to improve the inhibition. Interestingly, the molecules were slightly more selective towards hCA IX and XII compared to hCA I and II. The most potent and efficient ones against hCA I were 7h (KI 22.4 nM) and 9d (KI 35.8 nM) compared to the standard drug AAZ (KI 250.0 nM), whereas in case of hCA II inhibition, the derivatives containing the isatin nucleus as a tail were preferred. Collectively, all compounds were endowed with better inhibition against hCA IX compared to AAZ (KI 25.8 nM) as well as strong potency against hCA XII. Finally, these newly synthesized molecules could be taken as potential leads for the development of isoform selective hCA IX and XII inhibitors.

Design, Synthesis, Biological Evaluation, and Computational Studies of Novel Tri-Aryl Imidazole-Benzene Sulfonamide Hybrids as Promising Selective Carbonic Anhydrase IX and XII Inhibitors.

Project description:A novel series of tri-aryl imidazole derivatives 5a-n carrying benzene sulfonamide moiety has been designed for their selective inhibitory against hCA IX and XII activity. Six compounds were found to be potent and selective CA IX inhibitors with the order of 5g > 5b > 5d > 5e > 5g > 5n (Ki = 0.3-1.3 μM, and selectivity ratio for hCA IX over hCA XII = 5-12) relative to acetazolamide (Ki = 0.03 μM, and selectivity ratio for hCA IX over hCA XII = 0.20). The previous sixth inhibitors have been further investigated for their anti-proliferative activity against four different cancer cell lines using MTT assay. Compounds 5g and 5b demonstrated higher antiproliferative activity than other tested compounds (with GI50 = 2.3 and 2.8 M, respectively) in comparison to doxorubicin (GI50 = 1.1 M). Docking studies of these two compounds adopted orientation and binding interactions with a higher liability to enter the active side pocket CA-IX selectively similar to that of ligand 9FK. Molecular modelling simulation showed good agreement with the acquired biological evaluation.

Novel Diamide-Based Benzenesulfonamides as Selective Carbonic Anhydrase IX Inhibitors Endowed with Antitumor Activity: Synthesis, Biological Evaluation and In Silico Insights.

Project description:In this work, we present the synthesis and biological evaluation of novel series of diamide-based benzenesulfonamides 5a-h as inhibitors of the metalloenzyme carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) isoforms hCA I, II, IX and XII. The target tumor-associated isoforms hCA IX and XII were undeniably the most affected ones (KIs: 8.3-123.3 and 9.8-134.5 nM, respectively). Notably, diamides 5a and 5h stood out as a single-digit nanomolar hCA IX inhibitors (KIs = 8.8 and 8.3 nM). The SAR outcomes highlighted that bioisosteric replacement of the benzylidene moiety, compounds 5a-g, with the hetero 2-furylidene moiety, compound 5h, achieved the best IX/I and IX/II selectivity herein reported with SIs of 985 and 13.8, respectively. Molecular docking simulations of the prepared diamides within CA IX active site revealed the ability of 5h to establish an additional H-bond between the heterocyclic oxygen and HE/Gln67. Moreover, benzenesulfonamides 5a, 5b and 5h were evaluated for their antitumor activity against renal cancer UO-31 cell line. Compound 5h was the most potent derivative with about 1.5-fold more enhanced activity (IC50 = 4.89 ± 0.22 μM) than the reference drug Staurosporine (IC50 = 7.25 ± 0.43 μM). Moreover, 5a and 5h were able to induce apoptosis in UO-31 cells as evidenced by the significant increase in the percent of annexinV-FITC positive apoptotic cells by 22.5- and 26.5-folds, respectively.

Bioorganometallic derivatives of 4-hydrazino-benzenesulphonamide as carbonic anhydrase inhibitors: synthesis, characterisation and biological evaluation.

Project description:A series of bio-organometallic-hydrazones of the general formula [{(η5-C5H4)-C(R)=N-N(H)-C6H4-4-SO2NH2}]MLn(MLn = Re(CO)3, Mn(CO)3, FeCp; R=H, CH3) were prepared by reaction of formyl/acetyl organometallic precursors with 4-hydrazino-benzenesulphonamide. All compounds were characterized by conventional spectroscopic techniques (infra-red, 1H and 13C NMR, mass spectrometry and elemental analysis). Biological evaluation as carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) inhibitors agents was carried out using four human/h) isoforms, hCA I, II, IX and XII. The cytosolic isoforms hCA I and II were effectively inhibited by almost all derivatives with inhibition constants of 1.7-22.4 nM. Similar effects were observed for the tumour-associated transmembrane isoform hCA XII (KIs of 1.9-24.4 nM). hCA IX was less sensitive to inhibition with these compounds. The presence of bio-organometallic or metallo-carbonyl moieties in the molecules of these CAIs makes them amenable for interesting pharmacologic applications, for example for compounds with CO donating properties.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel 8-substituted quinoline-2-carboxamides as carbonic anhydrase inhibitors.

Project description:A series of novel 8-substituted-N-(4-sulfamoylphenyl)quinoline-2-carboxamides was synthesised by the reaction of 8-hydroxy-N-(4-sulfamoylphenyl) quinoline-2-carboxamide with alkyl and benzyl halides. The compounds were assayed for carbonic anhydrase (CA) inhibitory activity against four hCA isoforms, hCA I, hCA II, hCA IV, and hCA IX. Barring hCA IX, all the isoforms were inhibited from low to high nanomolar range. hCA I was inhibited in the range of 61.9-8126 nM, with compound 5h having an inhibition constant of KI = 61.9 nM. hCA II was inhibited in the range of 33.0-8759 nM, with compound 5h having an inhibition constant of 33.0 nM and compounds 5a and 5b having inhibition constants of 88.4 and 85.7 nM, respectively. hCA IV was inhibited in the range of 657.2-6757 nM. Hence, compound 5h, possessing low nanomolar hCA I and II inhibition, can be selected as a lead for the design of novel CA I and II inhibitors.

Tetrahydroquinazole-based secondary sulphonamides as carbonic anhydrase inhibitors: synthesis, biological evaluation against isoforms I, II, IV, and IX, and computational studies.

Project description:A library of variously decorated N-phenyl secondary sulphonamides featuring the bicyclic tetrahydroquinazole scaffold was synthesised and biologically evaluated for their inhibitory activity against human carbonic anhydrase (hCA) I, II, IV, and IX. Of note, several compounds were identified showing submicromolar potency and excellent selectivity for the tumour-related hCA IX isoform. Structure-activity relationship data attained for various substitutions were rationalised by molecular modelling studies in terms of both inhibitory activity and selectivity.
