The effects of some bromophenols on human carbonic anhydrase isoenzymes

摘要

Abstract Carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1), which are involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes, are ubiquitous metalloenzymes mainly catalyzing the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide (CO₂) to bicarbonate ( ) and proton (H+). In this study, a dozen of bromophenol derivatives ( 1 – 12 ) were evaluated as metalloenzyme CA (EC 4.2.1.1) inhibitors against the human carbonic anhydrase isoenzymes I and II (hCA I and II). Cytosolic hCA I and II isoenzymes were effectively inhibited by bromophenol derivatives ( 1 – 12 ) with K_is in the low nanomolar range of 1.85?±?0.58 to 5.04?±?1.46?nM against hCA I and in the range of 2.01?±?0.52 to 2.94?±?1.31?nM against hCA II, respectively.
