Carbonic Anhydrase

EMD57033 is a cardiac troponin C (cTnC) activator, a dominant Ca2+ sensitizer, which functions by binding to cardiac slow skeletal troponin C heterodimers to promote cardiac contraction.

Indisulam (E 7070) is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor and antitumor CDK inhibitor that targets the G1 phase of the cell cycle by depleting cyclin E, inducing p53 and p21, and inhibiting CDK2, thereby causing a blockade in the G1 S transition.

Ellagic acid (Gallogen), a thickened tetracyclic natural product, is a potent CK2 inhibitor (IC50=40 nM; Ki=20 nM) with ATP-competitive properties. Ellagic acid is an antioxidant and also possesses antiproliferative activity.

Levosimendan (OR1259) is a calcium sensitizer used in the management of acutely decompensated congestive heart failure. It increases the sensitivity of the heart to calcium, thus increasing cardiac contractility without a rise in intracellular calcium. Levosimendan exerts its effect by increasing calcium sensitivity of myocytes by binding to cardiac troponin C in a calcium-dependent manner.

1. Eriocitrin (Eriodictyol-7-O-Rutinoside) is powerful antioxidative flavonoid; (1) Prevents oxidative damages caused by acute exercise-induced oxidative stress.(2) Lipid-lowering effects in a rat model of high-fat diet. 2. Dietary Eriocitrin ameliorates diet-induced hepatic steatosis with activation of mitochondrial biogenesis. 3. Eriocitrin and Apigenin were identified as new potent inhibitors of human carbonic anhydrase VA isozyme.

hCAIX-IN-5 was a selective hCAIX inhibitor, inhibiting hCAI, hCAII, hCAIV, and hCAIX with Ki values of >10000, >10000, 130.7, and 829.1 nM, respectively.

CAIX Inhibitor S4 (S4) is an effective inhibitor of carbonic anhydrase IX XII with a Ki of 7 nM and 2 nM, respectively. The Kis for CA II and CA I are 546 and 5600 nM.

Ethoxzolamide (L-643786) is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor.

Zonisamide (AD 810), a sulfonamide anticonvulsant, is approved for use as an adjunctive treatment in adults with partial-onset seizures. It may inhibit a carbonic anhydrase although this is not one of the main mechanisms of action. Zonisamide may act by blocking repetitive firing of voltage-gated sodium channels results in a reduction of T-type calcium channel currents, or by binding allosterically to GABA receptors. This latter action may lower the uptake of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA while increasing the uptake of the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate.

Benzolamide (CL 11366) inhibits carbonic anhydrase effectively and low-threshold calcium currents in hippocampal pyramidal neurons.

Sultiame is an inhibitor of carbonic anhydrase. Sultiame can be used in antiepileptic research.

U-104 (NSC-213841) is an effective carbonic anhydrase (CA) inhibitor for CA IX( Ki=45.1 nM) and CA XII(Ki=4.5 nM).

4-Amino-6-(trifluoromethyl)benzene-1,3-disulfonamide (4-Amino-6-(trifluoromethyl)benzene-1,3-d) is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, used as a potential anti-tumor and antiglaucoma drug.

Acetazolamide sodium (OT-302 sodium) is a potent carbonic anhydrase (CA)IX inhibitor with diuretic, antigonococcal, and antihypertensive activity and may be used for indications such as epilepsy, glaucoma, edema, and altitude sickness.

Girentuximab (G250) is a potent anti-carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) monoclonal antibody with anticancer activity for the study of uroepithelial carcinoma PET (ZiPUP).

Topiramate (RWJ 17021) is a unique antiseizure medication that is used in the treatment of partial and generalized seizures. Topiramate has been rarely associated with hepatic injury and largely when used in combination with other anticonvulsant medications.

Methyclothiazide (Aquatensen) is a substituted benzothiadiazide, used to treat high blood pressure and fluid retention caused by various conditions including heart disease.

Dichlorphenamide (Diclofenamide) is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor that is used in the treatment of glaucoma.

Taselisib (GDC-0032) is an orally bioavailable inhibitor of the class I phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) alpha isoform (PIK3CA), with potential antineoplastic activity.

pNNP (Nitrophenylphosphate) can be used as a substrate for the PP2C assay. pNNP inhibits β-carbonic anhydrase and α-carbonate dehydrogenase, as well as H. pylori Helicobacter pylori. pNNP is a weakly active, tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase modifier. pNNP has been shown to inhibit β-carbonic anhydrase and α-carbonate dehydrogenase.

Mafenide hydrochloride (4-Aminomethylbenzenesulfonamide hydrochloride) is a sulfonamide that inhibits the enzyme carbonic anhydrase and is used as topical anti-infective, especially in burn therapy.

Benzenesulfonamide (Benzosulfonamide) ia an inhibitor of carbonic anhydrases.

Benzthiazide (Lemazide) is used in the therapy of edema and hypertension. Like other thiazides, benzthiazide accelerates water loss from the body (diuretics). They inhibit Na+ Cl- reabsorption from the distal convoluted tubules in the kidneys. Thiazides also cause loss of potassium and an increase in serum uric acid. Thiazides are often used to treat hypertension, but their hypotensive effects are not necessarily due to their diuretic activity. Thiazides have been shown to prevent hypertension-related morbidity and mortality although the mechanism is not fully understood. Thiazides cause vasodilation by activating calcium-activated potassium channels (large conductance) in vascular smooth muscles and inhibiting various carbonic anhydrases in vascular tissue.

Methazolamide (CL 8490) is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor that is used as a diuretic and in the treatment of glaucoma.
