Sulfonamide inhibition studies of two β-carbonic anhydrases from the ascomycete fungus Sordaria macrospora, CAS1 and CAS2
Taylor & Francis Group, 2018Co-Authors: Daniela Vullo, Stefanie Pöggeler, Ronny Lehneck, Claudiu T SupuranAbstract:The two β-carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) recently cloned and purified from the ascomycete fungus Sordaria macrospora, CAS1 and CAS2, were investigated for their inhibition with a panel of 39 aromatic, heterocyclic, and aliphatic sulfonamides and one sulfamate, many of which are clinically used agents. CAS1 was efficiently inhibited by tosylamide, 3-fluorosulfanilamide, and 3-chlorosulfanilamide (KIs in the range of 43.2–79.6 nM), whereas acetazolamide, methazolamide, topiramate, ethoxzolamide, dorzolamide, and brinzolamide were medium potency inhibitors (KIs in the range of 360–445 nM). CAS2 was less sensitive to sulfonamide inhibitors. The best CAS2 inhibitors were 5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-sulfonamide (the deacetylated acetazolamide precursor) and 4-hydroxymethyl-benzenesulfonamide, with KIs in the range of 48.1–92.5 nM. Acetazolamide, dorzolamide, ethoxzolamide, topiramate, sulpiride, indisulam, celecoxib, and sulthiame were medium potency CAS2 inhibitors (KIs of 143–857 nM). Many other sulfonamides showed affinities in the high micromolar range or were ineffective as CAS1/2 inhibitors. Small changes in the structure of the inhibitor led to important differences of the activity. As these enzymes may show applications for the removal of anthropically generated polluting gases, finding modulators of their activity may be crucial for designing environmental-friendly CO2 capture processes

Sulphonamide inhibition studies of the β-carbonic anhydrase from the bacterial pathogen Clostridium perfringens
Taylor & Francis Group, 2018Co-Authors: Daniela Vullo, Andrea Scozzafava, Siva Sai R. Kumar, James G. Ferry, Claudiu T SupuranAbstract:The β-carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) from the pathogenic bacterium Clostridium perfringens (CpeCA) was recently characterised kinetically and for its anion inhibition profile. In the search of effective CpeCA inhibitors, possibly useful to inhibit the growth/pathogenicity of this bacterium, we report here an inhibition study of this enzyme with a panel of aromatic, heterocyclic and sugar sulphonamides/sulphamates. Some sulphonamides, such as acetazolamide, ethoxzolamide, dichlorophenamide, dorzolamide, sulthiame and 4-(2-hydroxymethyl-4-nitrophenyl-sulphonamido)ethylbenzenesulphonamide were effective CpeCA inhibitors, with KIs in the range of 37.4–71.6 nM. Zonisamide and saccharin were the least effective such inhibitors, whereas many other aromatic and heterocyclic sulphonamides were moderate – weak inhibitors with KIs ranging between 113 and 8755 nM. Thus, this study provides the basis for developing better clostridial enzyme inhibitors with potential as antiinfectives with a new mechanism of action

Comparison of the Sulfonamide Inhibition Profiles of the β- and γ-Carbonic Anhydrases from the Pathogenic Bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei
MDPI AG, 2017Co-Authors: Daniela Vullo, Claudiu T Supuran, Vincenzo Carginale, Sonia Del Prete, Pietro Di Fonzo, Alexander W. Donald, Clemente CapassoAbstract:We have cloned, purified, and characterized a β-carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1), BpsCAβ, from the pathogenic bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei, responsible for the tropical disease melioidosis. The enzyme showed high catalytic activity for the physiologic CO2 hydration reaction to bicarbonate and protons, with the following kinetic parameters: kcat of 1.6 × 105 s−1 and kcat/KM of 3.4 × 107 M−1 s−1. An inhibition study with a panel of 38 sulfonamides and one sulfamate—including 15 compounds that are used clinically—revealed an interesting structure–activity relationship for the interaction of this enzyme with these inhibitors. Many simple sulfonamides and clinically used agents such as topiramate, sulpiride, celecoxib, valdecoxib, and sulthiame were ineffective BpsCAβ inhibitors (KI > 50 µM). Other drugs, such as ethoxzolamide, dorzolamide, brinzolamide, zonisamide, indisulam, and hydrochlorothiazide were moderately potent micromolar inhibitors. The best inhibition was observed with benzene-1,3-disulfonamides—benzolamide and its analogs acetazolamide and methazolamide—which showed KI in the range of 185–745 nM. The inhibition profile of BpsCAβ is very different from that of the γ-class enzyme from the same pathogen, BpsCAγ. Thus, identifying compounds that would effectively interact with both enzymes is relatively challenging. However, benzolamide was one of the best inhibitors of both of these CAs with KI of 653 and 185 nM, respectively, making it an interesting lead compound for the design of more effective agents, which may be useful tools for understanding the pathogenicity of this bacterium

Drug interaction considerations in the therapeutic use of carbonic anhydrase inhibitors.
Expert Opinion on Drug Metabolism & Toxicology, 2016Co-Authors: Claudiu T SupuranAbstract:ABSTRACTIntroduction: Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (CAIs) of the sulfonamide and sulfamate type are clinically used drugs as diuretics, antiglaucoma, antiepileptic, antiobesity and anti-high altitude disease agents. Anticancer agents based on CAIs are also in clinical development for the management of hypoxic, metastatic tumors. Acetazolamide, methazolamide, dichlorophenamide, dorzolamide and brinzolamide are mainly used as antiglaucoma drugs, sulthiame, topiramate and zonisamide as antiepileptic/antiobesity agents, celecoxib and polmacoxib are dual carbonic anhydrase/cycloxygenase inhibitors. Girentuximab, a monoclonal antibody and SLC-0111, a sulfonamide inhibitor, are in clinical trials as anticancer agents.Areas covered: The drug interactions with many classes of pharmacological agents are reviewed. Some of these drugs, such as acetazolamide, topiramate and celecoxib show a large number of interactions with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), diuretics, antiepileptics, immunosupressants, ...

the alpha carbonic anhydrase from the thermophilic bacterium sulfurihydrogenibium yellowstonense yo3aop1 is highly susceptible to inhibition by sulfonamides
Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry, 2013Co-Authors: Daniela Vullo, Claudiu T Supuran, Andrea Scozzafava, Viviana De Luca, Vincenzo Carginale, Mose Rossi, Clemente CapassoAbstract:Abstract The α-carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) from the newly discovered thermophilic bacterium Sulfurihydrogenibium yellowstonense YO3AOP1 (SspCA) was investigated for its inhibition with a large series of sulfonamides and a sulfamate, the classical inhibitors of these zinc enzymes. SspCA showed an inhibition profile with these compounds very similar to that of the predominant human cytosolic isoform hCA II, and not to that of the bacterial α-CA from Helicobacter pylori . Some clinically used drugs such as acetazolamide, methazolamide, ethoxzolamide, dichlorophenamide, dorzolamide, brinzolamide, topiramate, celecoxib and sulthiame were low nanomolar SspCA/hCA II inhibitors (K I s in the range of 4.5–12.3 nM) whereas simple aromatic/heterocyclic sulfonamides were less effective, micromolar inhibitors. As this highly catalytically active and thermostable enzyme may show biotechnological applications, its inhibition studies may be relevant for designing on/off systems to control its activity.

on the inter instrument and the inter laboratory transferability of a tandem mass spectral reference library 3 focus on ion trap and upfront cid
Journal of Mass Spectrometry, 2012Co-Authors: Herbert Oberacher, Florian Pitterl, Eleni Siapi, Barry R Steele, T Letzel, S Grosse, Bernhard C Poschner, Franco Tagliaro, Rossella Gottardo, Silvi A ChackoAbstract:Mass spectral libraries represent versatile tools for the identification of small bioorganic molecules. Libraries based on electron impact spectra are rated robust and transferable. Tandem mass spectral libraries are often considered to work properly only on the instrument that has been used to build the library. An exception from that rule is the ‘Wiley Registry of Tandem Mass Spectral Data, MSforID’. In various studies with data sets from different kinds of tandem mass spectrometric instruments, the outstanding sensitivity and robustness of this tandem mass spectral library search approach was demonstrated. The instrumental platforms tested, however, mainly included various tandem-in-space instruments. Herein, the results of a multicenter study with a focus on upfront and tandem-in-time fragmentation are presented. Five laboratories participated and provided fragment ion mass spectra from the following types of mass spectrometers: time-of-flight (TOF), quadrupole–hexapole–TOF, linear ion trap (LIT), 3-D ion trap and LIT–Orbitrap. A total number of 1231 fragment ion mass spectra were collected from 20 test compounds (amiloride, buphenin, cinchocaine, cyclizine, desipramine, dihydroergotamine, dyxirazine, dosulepin, ergotamine, ethambutol, etofylline, mefruside, metoclopramide, phenazone, phentermine, phenytoin, sulfamethoxazole, sulfamoxole, sulthiame and tetracycline) on seven electrospray ionization instruments using 18 different instrumental configurations for fragmentation. For 1222 spectra (99.3%), the correct compound was retrieved as the best matching compound. Classified matches (matches with ‘relative average match probability’ >40.0) were obtained for 1207 spectra (98.1%). This high percentage of correct identifications clearly supports the hypothesis that the tandem mass spectral library approach tested is a robust and universal identification tool.

heteroatom insertion into 3 4 dihydro 1h quinolin 2 ones leads to potent and selective inhibitors of human and rat aldosterone synthase
European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 2015Co-Authors: Cornelia M Grombein, Christina Zimmer, Sabrina Rau, Rolf W. HartmannAbstract:Abstract Aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2) catalyzes the conversion of 11-deoxycorticosterone to aldosterone via corticosterone and 18-hydroxycorticosterone. CYP11B2 is regarded as a new target for several cardiovascular diseases which are associated with chronically elevated aldosterone levels such as hypertension, congestive heart failure and myocardial fibrosis. In this paper, we optimized heterocycle substituted 3,4-dihydropyridin-2(1H)-ones as CYP11B inhibitors by systematic introduction of heteroatoms and by bioisosteric exchange of the lactame moiety by a sultame moiety. The most promising compounds regarding inhibition of human CYP11B2 and selectivity versus human enzymes CYP11B1, CYP17, and CYP19 were tested for inhibition of rat CYP11B2. Thus, we discovered compounds 4 and 9 which show potent inhibition of hCYP11B2 (IC50
