This study reports the facile synthesis of a novel series of benzothiazole‐chalcones, in addition to their inhibitory profile on important metabolic enzymes including human carbonic anhydrases (hCA‐I, hCA‐II) and paraoxonase (PON‐1). The inhibition parameters, IC50 (concentration for 50% inhibition) and Ki (dissociation constant) values, toward the title enzymes were determined for the studied compounds. As a result, IC50 values of hydratase activity were in the range 4.15–5.47 and 2.56–4.58 μM for hCA‐I and hCA‐II, respectively. At the same time, IC50 values of esterase activity were in the range 24.91–104.00 and 35.25–97.00 μM, while Ki values were in the range 14.43–59.66 and 26.65–73.34 μM for hCA‐I and hCA‐II, respectively. In addition, PON‐1 enzyme inhibition results showed interesting inhibitory effects, with IC50 values between 13.28 and 16.68 μM. Finally, a comprehensive approach was established for the synthesized compounds based on theoretical calculations, which have been done using B3LYP, PBE0 theories and SVP, TVZP, TVZPP basis sets, followed by docking studies by which the outputs proved the harmonically flows with the experimental results.

The investigation of carbonic anhydrase and paraoxonase enzyme inhibition properties of water-soluble zinc and gallium phthalocyanine complexes (1 and 2) are reported for the first time. The binding of p-sulfonylphenoxy moieties to the phthalocyanine structure favors excellent solubilities in water, as well as providing an inhibition effect on carbonic anhydrase (CA) I and II isoenzymes and paraoxonase (PON1) enzyme. According to biological activity results, both complexes inhibited hCA I, hCA II, and PON1. Whereas 1 and 2 showed moderate hCA I and hCA II (off-target cytosolic isoforms) inhibitory activity (Ki values of 26.09 µM and 43.11 µM for hCA I and 30.95 µM and 33.19 µM for hCA II, respectively), they exhibited strong PON1 (associated with high-density lipoprotein [HDL]) inhibitory activity (Ki values of 0.37 µM and 0.27 µM, respectively). The inhibition kinetics were analyzed by Lineweaver-Burk double reciprocal plots. It revealed that 1 and 2 were noncompetitive inhibitors against PON1, hCA I, and hCA II. These complexes can be more advantageous than other synthetic CA and PON inhibitors due to their water solubility. Docking studies were carried out to examine the interactions between hCA I, hCA II, and PON1 inhibitors and metal complexes at a molecular level and to predict binding energies.

Sulfonamide-bearing thiazole compounds were synthesized and their inhibitory effects on the activity of purified human carbonic anhydrase I and II were evaluated. Human carbonic anhydrase isoenzymes (hCA-I and hCA-II) were purified from erythrocyte cells by affinity chromatography. The inhibitory effects of the 12 synthesized sulfonamide (5a–l) on the hydratase and esterase activities of these isoenzymes (hCA-I and hCA-II) were studiedin vitro. In relation to these activities, the inhibition equilibrium constants (Ki) were determined. The results showed that all the synthesized compounds inhibited the CA isoenzyme activity. Among them5bwas found to be the most active (IC50 = 0.35 μM;Ki: 0.33 μM) for hCA I and hCA II. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

In the current study, a series of 4-chloromethyl-7-hydroxy-coumarin derivatives containing imidazolium, benzimidazolium, bisbenzimidazolium and quaternary ammonium salts were synthesized, characterized and the inhibition effects of the derivatives on human carbonic anhydrases (hCA I and hCA II) were investigated as in vitro. Structures of these coumarins were confirmed by FT-IR, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR and LC-MS analyses. Structure activity relationship study showed that 3d (IC50: 79 μM for hCA I and 88 μM for hCA II) performed higher inhibitory activity than others. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Synthesis of carbazole substituted chalcone urea derivatives and their polyphenol oxidase enzyme activity effects on the diphenolase activity of banana tyrosinase were evaluated. Tyrosinase has been purified from banana on an affinity gel comprised of Sepharose 4B- l-tyrosine-p-aminobenzoic acid. The results showed that most of the compounds ( 3,4,5a,5d-h) inhibited and some of them ( 5c,5i-l) activated the tyrosinase enzyme activity. The molecular calculations were performed using Gaussian software for the synthesized compounds to explain the experimental results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A newly series of water-soluble 1-alkyl-3-(4-methyl-7, 8-dihydroxy-2H-chromen-2-one) benzimidazolium chloride salts (3a-j) were synthesized and their inhibitory effects on the activity of purified human carbonic anhydrase (hCA) I and II were evaluated. hCA I and II from human erythrocytes were purified by a simple one step procedure by using Sepharose 4B-L-tyrosine-sulphanilamide affinity column. The result showed that all the synthesized compounds were inhibited the CA isoenzymes activity. Among them, 3g and 3j were found to be most active (IC50 = 22.09 μM and 20.33 μM) for hCA I and hCA II, respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The in vitro effects of the anabolic compounds, zeranol, 17 β-estradiol, diethylstilbestrol (DES), and trenbolone, on the activity of purified human carbonic anhydrase I and II were evaluated. In vitro CA enzyme activity was determined colorimetrically using the CO2 hydration method of Maren. IC50 values of the compounds that caused inhibition were determined by means of activity percentage diagrams. The IC50 concentrations of zeranol, 17 β-estradiol, DES and trenbolone on hCA I were 94, 55, 10, 898 µM and for hCA II 89, 159, 439 and 101 μM, respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
