Amide derivatives with pyrazole carboxylic acids of 5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole 2-sulfonamide as new carbonic anhydrase inhibitors: Synthesis and investigation of inhibitory effects

Abstract

Pyrazole carboxylic acid amides of 5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-sulfonamide were synthesized from 4-benzoyl-1,5-diphenyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carbonyl chloride and 4-benzoyl-1-(3-nitrophenyl)-5-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carbonyl chloride. Carbonic anhydrase isoenzymes (hCA-I and hCA-II) were purified from human erythrocyte cells by the affinity chromatography method. The inhibitory effects of 5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-sulfonamide 1, acetazolamide 2 and new synthesized amides on these isozymes have been studied in vitro. The I₅₀ concentrations (the concentration of inhibitor producing a 50% inhibition of CA activity) against hydratase activity ranged from 1.2 to 2.2 nM for hCA-I and from 0.4 to 2 nM for hCA-II. The I₅₀ values against esterase activity ranged from 1.4 to 8 nM for hCA-I and from 1.3 to 6 nM for hCA-II. The K_i values were observed between 8.2·10^{− 5} to 6.2·10^{− 4} M for hCA-I and between 2.9·10^{− 4} to 8.2·10^{− 4} M for hCA-II. The comparison of new synthesized amides to 5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-sulfonamide 1, acetazolamide 2 indicated that the new synthesized compounds (18–23) inhibit CA activity more potently than the parent compounds.
