Abstract

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.

Graphical Abstract

1. Introduction

Carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) are a group of convergently evolved, ubiquitous metalloenzymes, which play a pivotal role in the maintenance of pH homoeostasis across all living phylaCitation1–4. They catalyse the reversible interconversion of carbon dioxide to bicarbonate and protons under physiological conditions via a ping pong mechanism, which is normally very slow under non-catalytic conditions (reaction 1):    (1)

By efficiently catalysing the above reaction, CAs play an important role in many metabolic processes like facilitating the transport of CO2 between the metabolising tissues and lungs, lipogenesis, gluconeogenesis, and ureagenesisCitation1–4.

Up until now, eight genetically distinct families of CAs are known to be present across all phyla. These seven families are α-, β-, γ-, δ-, ζ-, η-, θ-, and the recently reported ι-classCitation5. The metal ion at the active site, which plays a highly important role in the catalytic activity of the enzyme, is variable among the different families, and can be Zn(II), Cd(II), Fe(II), and even Mn(II) in the ι-CAsCitation1–5. The α-CAs are predominantly found in vertebrates, protozoa, algae, bacteria, and the cytoplasm of green plants. The β-CAs are bacteria, algae, fungi, some archaea, and the chloroplasts of monocots and dicots. The γ-CAs are found in archaea and bacteria. The δ-, ζ-, -, θ-, and ι-CAs are present in marine diatoms. The η-CAs are present in various Plasmodium speciesCitation5.

α-CAs are widely distributed in many organisms and their number of isoforms is rather high, with 15 such CAs being present in humans and other primates and 16 in other mammals. In humans, the sub-cellular localisation of the isoforms is as follows: CA I, CA II, CA III, CA VII, CA VIII, CA X, CA XI, and CA XIII are cytosolic, CA IV, CA IX, CA XII, CAX IV, and CA XV are membrane-bound, CA VA and VB are mitochondrial, whereas CA VI is secreted in milk and salivaCitation1–4. Different isoforms are implicated in different diseases; hence, selective inhibition of a particular isoform may lead to the rectification of that particular disease in which it plays a major roleCitation1–4.

Sulfonamides and their isosteres (sulfamates and sulfamides) have been known for many years for their effective inhibition of many CA isoformsCitation5–8. Their mode of inhibition is by binding to the metal ion present in the active site, in a deprotonated form, as sulfonamidate anion. About 20 compounds incorporating the sulfonamide moiety are in clinical use for many years, with one of the compounds, SLC-0111, developed by one of our groups, being in phase II clinical trials. Some of the sulfonamide molecules in clinical use since many years are shown in Citation6–11.

Quinoline is an aromatic, heterocyclic, nitrogen containing compound which is having a benzene ring fused with a pyridine ring at two adjacent carbon atomsCitation12. The quinoline nucleus exhibit diverse biological activities such as anticancer, antimalarial, antitubercular, antibacterial, antiprotozoal, antiproliferative, anti-inflammatory, antihypertensive, and anti-HIV activityCitation13. One of the potent quinoline derivatives is 8-hydroxy quinoline. It is obtained from plants as well as by synthesis. It is basically a small, planar and lipophilic molecule having an array of biological activities and also good metal chelating propertiesCitation14. Supuran and coworkers have previously investigated the quinoline scaffold, wherein they found it to exhibit potent activities on various CA isoformsCitation15–17. Hence, in order to further probe the efficacy of the quinoline scaffold for CA inhibition, the “tail approach” () was adopted and novel 8-substituted-N-(4-sulfamoylphenyl) quinoline-2-carboxamides were synthesised and assayed for their CA inhibitory activity against four CA isoforms, namely, CA I, II, IV, and IX. The drug acetazolamide (AAZ) was used as a drug standard.

2.1. General

All the chemicals and solvents were procured and utilised as such from the suppliers. Wherever necessary, anhydrous solvents were used. Thin layer chromatography (TLC) analysis was done by utilising Merck silica gel 60 F254 aluminium plates. Stuart digital melting point apparatus (SMP 30) was used in determining the melting points of the compounds, which are uncorrected. 1H and 13C NMR spectra were recorded using Bruker Avance 500 MHz and 125 MHz respectively using DMSO-d6 as the solvent. Chemical shift values are recorded in ppm using TMS as the internal standard. HRMS were determined by Agilent QTOF mass spectrometer 6540 series instrument and were performed using ESI techniques at 70 eV.

2.1.1. General procedure for the preparation of 8-hydroxy-N-(4-sulfamoylphenyl)quinoline-2-carboxamide

To a stirred solution of intermediate 3 (1 g, 5 mmol 1 eq.) in dry DMF (10 ml) HATU was added (3 g, 7.9 mmol, 1.5 eq.) at 0 °C. The resultant solution was stirred for one hour at 0 °C. Thereafter, sulfanilamide (1 g, 5.5 mmol, 1.1 eq.) and DIPEA (2 g, 15 mmol, 3 eq.) were added to the reaction mixture and the resultant solution was allowed to stir for overnight at room temperature. The completion of the reaction was monitored by TLC. On completion of the reaction mixture as evidenced by the TLC, it was dumped into crushed ice. The precipitated solid was collected by filtration and it was subjected to column chromatography using silica gel 60–120 mesh as the stationary phase and EtOAc:hexane 6:4 as mobile phase to afford intermediate 4 as a beige solid. Yield (60%).

2.2. CA inhibition assay

An SX.18V-R Applied Photophysics (Oxford, UK) stopped flow instrument has been used to assay the catalytic/inhibition of various CA isozymesCitation18. Phenol Red (at a concentration of 0.2 mM) has been used as an indicator, working at an absorbance maximum of 557 nm, with 10 mM Hepes (pH 7.4) as a buffer, 0.1 M Na2SO4 or NaClO4 (for maintaining constant the ionic strength; these anions are not inhibitory in the used concentration), following the CA-catalysed CO2 hydration reaction for a period of 5–10 s. Saturated CO2 solutions in water at 25 °C were used as substrate. Stock solutions of inhibitors were prepared at a concentration of 10 mM (in DMSO–water 1:1, v/v) and dilutions up to 0.01 nM done with the assay buffer mentioned above. At least seven different inhibitor concentrations have been used for measuring the inhibition constant. Inhibitor and enzyme solutions were pre-incubated together for 10 min at room temperature prior to assay, in order to allow for the formation of the E–I complex. Triplicate experiments were done for each inhibitor concentration, and the values reported throughout the paper is the mean of such results. The inhibition constants were obtained by non-linear least squares methods using the Cheng–Prusoff equation, as reported earlier, and represent the mean from at least three different determinations. All CA isozymes used here were recombinant proteins obtained as reported earlier by our groupCitation19,Citation20.

3. Results and discussion

3.1. Chemistry

A series of structurally diverse 8-substituted quinoline-2-carboxamides were synthesised according to general synthetic route as illustrated in Scheme 1. In brief, 8-hydroxy quinaldine (1) was treated with selenium dioxide to yield 8-hydroxyquinoline-2-carbaldehyde (2) which was further treated with H2O2 in the presence of formic acid to yield 8-hydroxyquinoline-2-carboxylic acidCitation21 (3). This intermediate was further subjected to acid-amine coupling with sulfanilamide to give the amide product (4). This was further subjected to O-alkylation using various aliphatic and benzylic halides to afford the final products (5a–h). All the final products were confirmed using various analytical and spectral techniques.

3.2. CA inhibition studies

The newly synthesised 8-substituted quinoline-linked sulfonamide derivatives were evaluated for their inhibitory activity against the cytosolic isoforms hCA I and II, the membrane-bound isoform hCA IV and the transmembrane isoform hCA IX. Acetazolamide was used as a standard drug. The following structure–activity relationship (SAR) may be inferred from the inhibition data shown in :

Table 1. CA inhibition data with the synthesised compounds 5a–5h and acetazolamide as standard drug, by a stopped flow CO2 hydrase assay.

  1. The ubiquitous cytosolic isoform, hCA I, which is localised in the erythrocytes, gastrointestinal tract and eye, was inhibited from low to high nanomolar range, with the inhibition constants ranging from 61.9 to 8126 nM. The best inhibition constant was shown by compound 5h, possessing a methyl substitution on the 8-OH group. It elicited an inhibition of more than four times compared to the standard AAZ, with a KI of 61.9 nM.

  2. The cytosolic isoform, hCA II, which is also one of the physiologically relevant isoforms, was inhibited in a diverse manner by the compounds 5a–h, with the inhibition constants ranging from 33.0 to 8759 nM. The most potent inhibitor was again found to be compound 5h, with an inhibition constant of 33.0 nM. Compounds 5a and 5b, possessing a 4-nitro benzyl and 2-bromo benzyl substitution at 8-OH position, also showed low nanomolar inhibitory potencies with KI values of 88.4 and 85.7 nM, respectively.

  3. The membrane-bound isoform, hCA IV, was inhibited with a moderate to weak inhibition profile by the compounds 5a–h. The inhibition constants ranged from 657.2 to 6757 nM, as compared to the standard, AAZ, which showed a much stronger inhibition at 74 nM.

  4. The tumour-associated isoform, hCA IX, was not at all inhibited by the compounds 5a–h (KI > 10,000 nM).

4. Conclusions

A series of novel 8-substituted quinoline-linked sulfonamide derivatives (5a–h) were synthesised and assayed for inhibitory activity against a series of CA isoforms, namely, hCA I and II which are cytosolic, hCA IV which is membrane-bound and hCA IX which is tumour-associated isoform. Except for hCA IX, the synthesised compounds exhibited a variable degree of inhibition profiles for the other isoforms, ranging from low nanomolar to high nanomolar. Among all the compounds, compound 5h exhibited low nanomolar inhibitory profiles for hCA I, with KI 61.9 nM (wherein it proved to be four times more potent than the standard AAZ) and hCA II, with KI of 33.0 nM. Compounds 5a and 5b showed inhibition constants of 88.4 and 85.7 nM respectively for hCA II. Apart from that, all the compounds showed moderate to high nanomolar inhibition for hCA I, II, and IV. Hence, compound 5h can be developed further as a lead compound to design more effective hCA I and hCA II inhibitors.
