Dithiocarbamates: a new class of carbonic anhydrase inhibitors. Crystallographic and kinetic investigations.

چکیده
The zinc enzyme carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) is inhibited by several classes of zinc-binders (sulfonamides, sulfamates, and sulfamides) as well as by compounds which do not interact with the metal ion (phenols, polyamines and coumarins). Here we report a new class of potent CA inhibitors which bind the zinc ion: the dithiocarbamates (DTCs). They coordinate to the zinc ion from the enzyme active site in monodentate manner and establish many favorable interactions with amino acid residues nearby. Several low nanomolar CA I, II and IX inhibitors were detected.

Quantitative Structure - Activity Relationships Study of Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors Using Logistic Regression Model
Binary Logistic Regression (BLR) has been developed as non-linear models to establish quantitative structure- activity relationships (QSAR) between structural descriptors and biochemical activity of carbonic anhydrase inhibitors. Using a training set consisted of 21 compounds with known ki values, the model was trained and tested to solve two-class problems as active or inactive on the basi...
متن کاملCarbonic anhydrase under pressure
Investigations of the rapid enzyme carbonic anhydrase have now been extended by crystallographic analysis at high CO2 pressures to examine the movements of water molecules in different steps of the catalysis. The rate of catalysis seems well explained by the assembled observations.

The pH dependence study reveals that the Cys 206 sulphydryl group of bovine carbonicanhydrase in the native form is not exposed. During the reaction of 2,2'-dithiobispyridine (2-DTP) with the enzyme, there was no absorbance change recorded. In the presence ofsurfactants, the pH dependence profiles of the apparent second order rate constants, kapp, forthe reaction of 2-DTP with bovine carbonic a...
متن کاملSynthesis and carbonic anhydrase inhibitory properties of novel uracil derivatives.
Carbonic anhydrase (CA) inhibitors are valuable molecules based on several therapeutic applications, including antiglaucoma activity. In the present study, inhibition of two human cytosolic carbonic anhydrase isozymes I and II with some uracil derivatives (3-9) were investigated. Compounds 3-9 showed KI values in the range of 10.83-464 μM for hCA I and of 28.88-778.5 μM against hCA II, respecti...
متن کاملIdentification of metal dithiocarbamates as a novel class of antileishmanial agents.
Dithiocarbamates have emerged as potent carbonic anhydrase (CA) inhibitors in recent years. Given that CAs are important players in cellular metabolism, the objective of this work was to exploit the CA-inhibitory property of dithiocarbamates as a chemotherapeutic weapon against the Leishmania parasite. We report here strong antileishmanial activity of three hitherto unexplored metal dithiocarba...
