Abstract: | In this work, the inhibitory activity of Voriconazole was measured against some metabolic enzymes, including human carbonic anhydrase (hCA) I and II isoenzymes, acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and α‐glycosidase; the results were compared with standard compounds including acetazolamide, tacrine, and acarbose. Half maximal inhibition concentration (IC50) values were obtained from the enzyme activity (%)‐Voriconazole] graphs, whereas Ki values were calculated from the Lineweaver‐Burk graphs. According to the results, the IC50 value of Voriconazole was 40.77 nM for α‐glycosidase, while the mean inhibition constant (Ki) value was 17.47 ± 1.51 nM for α‐glycosidase. The results make an important contribution to drug design and have pharmacological applications. In addition, the Voriconazole compound demonstrated excellent inhibitory effects against AChE and hCA isoforms I and II. Voriconazole had Ki values of 29.13 ± 3.57 nM against hCA I, 15.92 ± 1.90 nM against hCA II, and 10.50 ± 2.46 nM against AChE. |
