Abstract

Reaction of thiophosgene with 4-aminomethyl-benzenesulfonamide afforded 4-isothiocyanatomethyl-benzenesulfonamide, which by reaction with amines, amino acids and oligopeptides, lead to a series of new sulfonamides incorporating a 4-sulfamoylphenylmethylthiourea scaffold. These new thioureas showed strong affinities towards isozymes I, II and IV of carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1). In vitro inhibitory potency was good (in the low nanomolar range) for the derivatives of: amino-benzoic acids, beta-phenyl-serine, alpha-phenyl-glycine, for those incorporating hydroxy- and mercapto-amino acids (Ser, Thr, Cys and Met), hydrophobic amino acids (Val, Leu, Ile), aromatic amino acids (Phe, His, Trp, Tyr; DOPA); dicarboxylic amino acids as well as di-/tri-/tetrapeptides among others. Such CA inhibitors displayed very good water solubility (in the range of 2-3\%) as sodium (carboxylate) salts, with pH values for the solutions obtained of 6.5-7.0. Furthermore, in normotensive rabbits, some of them showed an effective and prolonged intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering when administered topically, as 2\% solutions.
