Abstract

A series of 1,2,3-benzoxathiazine-2,2-dioxides possessing various substituents in the 5, 7, or 8 position was obtained from corresponding 2-hydroxybenzaldehydes in their reaction with sulfamoyl chloride. 5-, 7-, and 8-aryl substituted 1,2,3-benzoxathiazine-2,2-dioxides were prepared from aryl substituted 2-hydroxybenzaldehydes obtained from 3-, 4-, or 6-bromo-2-hydroxybenzaldehydes via two-step protocol. 1,2,3-Benzoxathiazine-2,2-dioxides were investigated for the inhibition of four human carbonic anhydrase (hCA, EC 4.2.1.1) isoforms, cytosolic hCA I and II and tumour-associated transmembrane hCA IX and XII. Twenty four derivatives of 1,2,3-benzoxathiazine 2,2-dioxide were obtained. Most of them act as nanomolar inhibitors of hCA IX and XII. Almost all compounds except 2d and 5a-e also express nanomolar inhibitory activity for hCA II. hCA I is poorly inhibited or not inhibited by 1,2,3-benzoxathiazine 2,2-dioxides. Some of the new derivatives exhibit promising selectivity towards CA IX/XII over hCA I, although none of the compounds are selective towards CA IX/XII over both hCA I and II.

Introduction

Human carbonic anhydrases (hCAs, EC 4.2.1.1) are a superfamily of widespread metalloenzymes in most living organisms that catalyse a reversible hydration of carbon dioxide (CO2) into bicarbonate ion (HCO3) and proton (H+)Citation1–5.

CAs are involved in such important physiological processes as respiration, metabolism, pH regulation, ion transport, bone resorption, secretion of gastric, cerebrospinal fluid, and pancreatic juices, biosynthetic reactions such as gluconeogenesis and ureagenesis, etcCitation1–3.

Sixteen different CA isoforms have been identified and characterised in mammals so farCitation1,Citation3.

Human CAs are considered as promising therapeutic targets for a wide range of diseases, such as epilepsy, cerebral and retinal oedema, glaucoma (hCA I and hCA II), haemolytic anaemia, obesity, sterility, and cancerCitation1,Citation6.

Most efforts in the last few decades have been focussed on the tumour-associated isoforms (hCA IX and XII) that were shown to possess an important role in hypoxic tumour physiopathology and thus validated as biomarkers and therapeutic targets for various cancer types. Their inhibition has been related to the reduction of primary tumour growth, inhibition of invasion and metastasis, and a reduction in the cancer stem cell populationCitation7–9.

hCA IX expression is associated with a bad prognosis in cancer, whereas hCA XII is expressed in normal tissues and overexpressed in a number of malignant tumorsCitation4,Citation10.

hCA IX has been considered as a valuable marker for cancer, and the development of hCA IX inhibitors with selectivity over widely distributed isoforms hCA I/II is a potential strategy for designing anticancer agentsCitation3.

During the last decade, a wide range of novel CA inhibitors has been discovered, such as saccharin derivativesCitation11–13, thiophene moiety containing sulfonamidesCitation14, furagin derivativesCitation15, and many more.

Sulphonamide moiety is the most widespread zinc-binding group (ZBG) of CA inhibitors. Non-classical CA inhibitors such as coumarins, carboxylic acids, phenols, polyamines inhibit the catalytic activity of CA by different mechanisms rather than coordinating to the zincCitation10.

Coumarin ring showed exceptional anticancer properties acting through various mechanisms of actionCitation10,Citation16,Citation17. Coumarin derivatives were introduced by Supuran’s group as a non-classical type of CAIsCitation18.

The mechanism of action of coumarin as CA inhibitor is based on hydrolysis forming cis-2-hydroxy-cinnamic acid, instead of binding the CA active site with its intact coumarin moietyCitation10.

The ability of coumarin to inhibit CA triggered the investigation of coumarin derivatives and its bioisosteres as CA inhibitors.Citation19

In 2013, coumarin bioisosteres 1,2-benzoxathiine 2,2-dioxides, also referred as sulfocoumarins, were reported as a new class of prodrug-type CA inhibitors, some of them showing low nanomolar inhibitory activities.Citation20 It was demonstrated that sulfocoumarins (1,2-benzoxathiine 2,2-dioxides) possess a similar mechanism of action as coumarins, acting as effective CA inhibitors. The sulfocoumarins were hydrolysed by the esterase CA activity to 2-hydroxyphenyl-vinylsulfonic acids, which then bind to the enzyme in a region rarely occupied by other classes of inhibitors.Citation20 Later a wide range of sulfocoumarin derivatives has been investigated and tested, showing significant isoform-selective CA inhibition propertiesCitation21–26.

In 2017, homologs of sulfocoumarin-3H-1,2-benzoxathiepine 2,2-dioxides, i.e. homo-sulfocoumarins, were introduced as CA inhibitors for the first time. As the results of the biological screening show, homo-sulfocoumarins possess very high level of CA isoform selectivity as wellCitation27–30.

In 2020, one more novel isoform-selective class of compounds – the bioisosteres of homo-sulfocoumarins, namely benzoxepinones (), were reported as CA inhibitors for the first time.Citation31

Taking into account that coumarin bioisosteres and their homologs described above show excellent CA inhibitory properties along with significant selectivity for the inhibition of hCA IX and hCA XII over hCA I and hCA II, we report here a series of nitrogen-containing analogues of 1,2-benzoxathiine 2,2-dioxides, namely derivatives of 1,2,3-benzoxathiazine 2,2-dioxide.

Ca inhibitory assay

An applied photophysics stopped-flow instrument has been used for assaying the CA catalysed CO2 hydration activity.Citation32

Phenol red (at a concentration of 0.2 mM) was used as indicator, working at the absorbance maximum of 557 nm, with 20 mM Hepes (pH 7.5), and 20 mM Na2SO4 (for maintaining constant the ionic strength), following the initial rates of the CA-catalysed CO2 hydration reaction for a period of 10 − 100 s. The CO2 concentrations ranged from 1.7 to 17 mM for the determination of the kinetic parameters and inhibition constants. For each inhibitor, at least six traces of the initial 5 − 10% of the reaction have been used for determining the initial rate. The uncatalysed rates were determined in the same manner and subtracted from the total observed rates. Stock solutions of inhibitor (0.1 mM) were prepared in distilled – deionised water, and dilutions up to 0.01 nM were done thereafter with the assay buffer. Inhibitor and enzyme solutions were preincubated together for 15 min at room temperature prior to assay in order to allow for the formation of the E – I complex. Data from were obtained after 6 h incubation of enzyme and inhibitor. The inhibition constants were obtained by nonlinear least-squares methods using PRISM 3 and the Cheng – Prusoff equation, as reported earlierCitation15,Citation33–37, and represent the mean from at least three different determinations. All CA isoforms were recombinant ones obtained in-house as reported earlierCitation12,Citation18,Citation38–45.

Results and discussion

Chemistry

Benzo[1,2,3]oxathiazine-2,2-dioxides 2a–-k were obtained from corresponding 2-hydroxybenzaldehydes 1a–k in their reaction with sulfamoyl chloride that was prepared from chlorosulfonyl isocyanate (Scheme 1).Citation46

Scheme 1. Reagents and conditions: (i) HCOOH, 0 °C, 15 min, then RT, 45 min; (ii) ClSO2NH2, DMA, RT, 24–72 h.

Scheme 1. Reagents and conditions: (i) HCOOH, 0 °C, 15 min, then RT, 45 min; (ii) ClSO2NH2, DMA, RT, 24–72 h.

Eleven target compounds were obtained with moderate yields ().

5-, 7-, and 8-aryl substituted benzo[1,2,3]oxathiazine-2,2-dioxides 5a–m were obtained from aryl substituted 2-hydroxybenzaldehydes 4a–m (Scheme 2) prepared from 3-, 4-, or 6-bromo-2-hydroxybenzaldehydes 3. The first step was Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of aldehydes 3 with various boronic acids followed by cyclisation using sulfamoyl chloride. The yields of intermediates 4a–m were from moderate to high, but the yields of the products 5a–m were lower due to the loss during purification process. All inhibitors obtained exceeded 95% purity according HPLC analysis.

Carbonic anhydrase inhibition

Twenty four derivatives of 1,2,3-benzoxathiazine 2,2-dioxide were screened for the inhibition of four human CA isoforms – the cytosolic off-targets hCA I and II as well as transmembrane, tumour-associated hCA IX and XII that are anticancer drug targetsCitation18,Citation47–52.

Inhibition data of 1,2,3-benzoxathiazine 2,2-dioxides 2a–k and 5a–m (as well as acetazolamide AAZ as standard) against hCA I, II, IX, and XII after 15 min of incubation period of the enzyme and inhibitor solutions are presented in Citation32.

Data obtained show that some derivatives of 1,2,3-benzoxathiazine 2,2-dioxide (2 b, 2d, 5a–e) did not inhibit cytosolic isoform hCA I at all while other ones showed micromolar inhibitory activity in a quite wide range (0.36 − 46 µM).

hCA II, which is off-target in this case, was not inhibited only by two compounds, 5d and 5e. In case of 1,2,3-benzoxathiazine 2,2-dioxide derivatives 2a–k with small substituents like Me, MeO, Br, F, inhibition constants in nanomolar range (39 − 169 nM) were obtained, except compound 2d with Br in position 6 which has Ki = 8.3 µM. 5-Aryl substituted 1,2,3-benzoxathiazine 2,2-dioxide derivatives 5a–e poorly inhibited hCA II or did not inhibit it at all, whereas 7- and 8-aryl derivatives showed nanomolar inhibitory activity towards hCA II.

The transmembrane isoform hCA IX was effectively inhibited by 1,2,3-benzoxathiazine 2,2-dioxides 2a–k and 5f–m with Ki in the range of 22 − 74 nM, although 5-aryl substituted derivatives showed micromolar inhibitory activity (5a–c, Ki = 4.1 − 10.9 µM), but 5d-e did not show any inhibitory activity towards hCA IX.

Another transmembrane tumour-associated isoform hCA XII was also effectively inhibited by most of investigated compounds with Ki in the range of 5.7 − 186.4 nM. 5-Aryl derivatives 5a–d showed lower inhibitory activity while compound 5e did not exhibit any inhibitory properties towards hCA XII.

It may be seen that some of the new derivatives exhibit promising selectivity towards hCA IX/XII over hCA I, although none of the compounds are selective towards hCA IX/XII over both hCA I and II. The most promising tendence to selectivity towards hCA IX/XII over both hCA I and II is observed in case of compound 2d which has Br in position 6.

Conclusions

We report here a series of novel 1,2,3-benzoxathiazine-2,2-dioxide derivatives 2a–k with small substituents (Me, MeO, F, Br) in 6, 7, or 8 position prepared by straightforward synthesis from corresponding 2-hydroxybenzaldehydes in their reaction with sulfamoyl chloride. A series of 5-, 7-, or 8-aryl substituted 1,2,3-benzoxathiazine-2,2-dioxides 5a–m were obtained by two-step protocol from aryl substituted 2-hydroxybenzaldehydes in Suzuki-Miyaura reaction with selected boronic acids followed by cyclisation using sulfamoyl chloride.

The new derivatives were assayed as inhibitors of four hCA isoforms, the cytosolic hCA I and II, and the transmembrane, tumour-associated hCA IX and XII.

1,2,3-Benzoxathiazine-2,2-dioxides generally do not inhibit or show low inhibitory activity towards cytosolic widespread hCA I.

Ubiquitous hCA II was inhibited by the new derivatives in nanomolar and micromolar range whereas two 5-aryl derivatives did not show any hCA II inhibitory activity.

Transmembrane isoforms hCA IX and XII were inhibited in nanomolar range by most of 1,2,3-benzoxathiazine-2,2-dioxides although 5-aryl derivatives showed lower inhibitory activity or did not inhibit these two isoenzymes.

Some 1,2,3-benzoxathiazine-2,2-dioxides exhibit promising selectivity towards hCA IX/XII over hCA I, although none of the compounds are selective towards hCA IX/XII over both hCA I and II.
