Synthesis and inhibitory properties of some carbamates on carbonic anhydrase and acetylcholine esterase

A series of carbamate derivatives were synthesized and their carbonic anhydrase I and II isoenzymes and acetylcholinesterase enzyme (AChE) inhibitory effects were investigated. All carbamates were synthesized from the corresponding carboxylic acids via the Curtius reactions of the acids with diphenyl phosphoryl azide followed by addition of benzyl alcohol. The carbamates were determined to be very good inhibitors against for AChE and hCA I, and II isoenzymes. AChE inhibition was determined in the range 0.209–0.291?nM. On the other hand, tacrine, which is used in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease possessed lower inhibition effect (K_i: 0.398?nM). Also, hCA I and II isoenzymes were effectively inhibited by the carbamates, with inhibition constants (K_i) in the range of 4.49–5.61?nM for hCA I, and 4.94–7.66?nM for hCA II, respectively. Acetazolamide, which was clinically used carbonic anhydrase (CA) inhibitor demonstrated K_i values of 281.33?nM for hCA I and 9.07?nM for hCA II. The results clearly showed that AChE and both CA isoenzymes were effectively inhibited by carbamates at the low nanomolar levels.     

Discovery of potent carbonic anhydrase,acetylcholinesterase, and butyrylcholinesterase enzymes inhibitors: The new amides and thiazolidine‐4‐ones synthesized on an acetophenone base

Compounds containing nitrogen and sulfur atoms can be widely used in various fields, including industry, medicine, biotechnology, and chemical technology. Among them, amides of acids and heterocyclic compounds have an important place. These amides and thiazolidine‐4‐ones showed good inhibitory action against butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and human carbonic anhydrase isoforms. AChE exists at high concentrations in the brain and red blood cells. BChE is an important enzyme that is plentiful in the liver, and it is released into the blood in a soluble form. They were demonstrated to have effective inhibition profiles with K_i values of 23.76–102.75 nM against hCA I, 58.92–136.64 nM against hCA II, 1.40–12.86 nM against AChE, and 9.82–52.77 nM against BChE. On the other hand, acetazolamide showed K_i value of 482.63 ± 56.20 nM against hCA I, and 1019.60 ± 163.70 nM against hCA II. Additionally, Tacrine inhibited AChE and BChE, showing K_i values of 397.03 ± 31.66 and 210.21 ± 15.98 nM, respectively.

In this study, the synthesized novel benzimidazolium salts were evaluated toward the human erythrocyte carbonic anhydrase I (hCA I), and II (hCA II) isoenzymes, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) enzymes. They demonstrated highly potent inhibition ability against hCA I with K_i values of 484.8 ± 62.6–1389.7 ± 243.2 nM, hCA II with K_i values of 298.9 ± 55.7–926.1 ± 330.0 nM, α-glycosidase with K_i values of 170.3 ± 27–760.1 ± 269 μM, AChE with K_i values of 27.1 ± 3–77.6 ± 1.7 nM, and BChE with K_i values of 21.0 ± 5–61.3 ± 15 nM. As a result, novel vinyl functionalized 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazolium salts (1a–g) exhibited effective inhibition profiles toward studied metabolic enzymes. Therefore, we believe that these results may contribute to the development of new drugs particularly to treat some global disorders including glaucoma, Alzheimer's disease, and diabetes.

The carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) represent a superfamily of widespread enzymes, which catalyze a crucial biochemical reaction, the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide to bicarbonate and protons. Human CA isoenzymes I and II (hCA I and hCA II) are ubiquitous cytosolic isoforms. In this study, a series of hydroperoxides, alcohols, and acetates were tested for the inhibition of the cytosolic hCA I and II isoenzymes. These compounds inhibited both hCA isozymes in the low nanomolar ranges. These compounds were good hCA I inhibitors (K_is in the range of 24.93–97.99?nM) and hCA II inhibitors (K_is in the range of 26.04–68.56?nM) compared to acetazolamide as CA inhibitor (K_i: 34.50?nM for hCA I and K_i: 28.93?nM for hCA II).

AChE inhibitors, interacting with the enzyme as their primary target, are applied as relevant drugs and toxins. Many clinically established drugs are carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, and it is highly anticipated that many more will eventually find their way into the market. The novel synthesized compounds inhibited AChE and BChE with K_i values in the range of 0.64–1.47 nM and 9.11–48.12 nM, respectively. On the other hand, hCA I and II were effectively inhibited by these compounds, with K_i values between 63.27–132.34 and of 29.63–127.31 nM, respectively.

Human carbonic anhydrase I and II isoenzymes (hCA I and II) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) are important metabolic enzymes that are closely associated with various physiological and pathological processes. In this study, we investigated the inhibition effects of some sulfonamides on hCA I, hCA II, and AChE enzymes. Both hCA isoenzymes were purified by Sepharose‐4B‐L‐Tyrosine‐5‐amino‐2‐methylbenzenesulfonamide affinity column chromatography with 1393.44 and 1223.09‐folds, respectively. Also, some inhibition parameters including IC₅₀ and K_i values were determined. Sulfonamide compounds showed IC ₅₀ values of in the range of 55.14 to 562.62 nM against hCA I, 55.99 to 261.96 nM against hCA II, and 98.65 to 283.31 nM against AChE. K_i values were in the range of 23.40 ± 9.10 to 365.35 ± 24.42 nM against hCA I, 45.87 ± 5.04 to 230.08 ± 92.23 nM against hCA II, and 16.00 ± 45.53 to 157.00 ± 4.02 nM against AChE. As a result, sulfonamides had potent inhibition effects on these enzymes. Therefore, we believe that these results may contribute to the development of new drugs particularly in the treatment of some disorders.

These results strongly support the promising nature of the tris-chalcone scaffold as selective carbonic anhydrase, acetylcholinesterase, butyrylcholinesterase, and α-glycosidase inhibitor. Overall, due to these derivatives’ inhibitory potential on the tested enzymes, they are promising drug candidates for the treatment of diseases like glaucoma, leukemia, epilepsy; Alzheimer’s disease; type-2 diabetes mellitus that are associated with high enzymatic activity of carbonic anhydrase, acetylcholine esterase, butyrylcholinesterase, and α-glycosidase.
