carbonic anhydrase 5b

Pyrocatechol, often known as catechol or benzene-1,2-diol, is a benzenediol, Pyrocatechol was produced at a large scale industrially, mainly as precursors to pesticides, flavors, and fragrances. Its sulfonic acid is often present in the urine of many mammals.

Carbonic anhydrase inhibitor32 (compound 5B) is an orally active, selective inhibitor of hCA (carbonic anhydrase) II/VII, with Ki values of 6.3 nM for hCA II, 10.1 nM for hCA VII, and 681 nM for hCA I. It shows potential for neuroprotection and anticonvulsant effects by reducing mTOR activation and increasing hippocampal KCC2 levels.
