Abstract

To tackle the challenge of isoform selectivity, we explored the entrance of the cavity for selected druggable human Carbonic Anhydrases (hCAs). Based on X-ray crystallographic studies on the 4-(4-(2-chlorobenzoyl)piperazine-1-carbonyl)benzenesulfonamide in complex with the brain expressed hCA VII (PDB code: 7NC4), a series of 4-(4(hetero)aroylpiperazine-1-carbonyl)benzene-1-sulfonamides has been developed. To evaluate their capability to fit the hCA VII catalytic cavity, the newer benzenesulfonamides were preliminary investigated by means of docking simulations. Then, this series of thirteen benzenesulfonamides was synthesized and tested against selected druggable hCAs. Among them, the 4-(4-(furan-2-carbonyl)piperazine-1-carbonyl)benzenesulfonamide showed remarkable affinity towards hCA VII (Ki: 4.3 nM) and good selectivity over the physiologically widespread hCA I when compared to Topiramate (TPM).
