Synthesis and evaluation of new carbonic anhydrase inhibitors

A series of new sulfamide derivatives have been synthesized, their structures were confirmed by 1H NMR and ESI-MS. Some target compounds were assessed by the tool of Dock6, and inhibition effects of all the new compounds on carbonic anhydrase II have been investigated. In addition, some compounds have been investigated for their antihypoxic effects in mice. Results indicated that nine target compounds exhibit as effectively as acetazolamide and 10 compounds have more potent inhibition effects on carbonic anhydrase II than acetazolamide. Three of them (I-8, I-18 and I′-3) can prolong markedly the survival time of mice in hypoxia, which are worth carrying out further studies.
