Abstract

Inhibitors of carbonic anhydrase (CA) have been carried out in many therapeutic applications, especially antiglaucoma activity. In this study, we investigated some uracil derivatives (412) to inhibit human CA I (hCA I) and II (hCA II) isoenzymes. The KI values of the compounds 412 are in the range of 0.085–428 µM for hCA I and of 0.1715–645 µM against hCA II, respectively. It is concluded from the kinetic investigations, all compounds used in the study act as competitive inhibitors with substrate, 4-NPA. Uracil derivatives are emerging agents for the inhibiton of carbonic anhydrase which could be used in biomedicine.
