CA inhibitors: Human carbonic anhydrases (CAs) are diagnostic and therapeutic targets. Various carborane cages are shown to act as active-site-directed inhibitors, and substitution with a sulfamide group and other substituents leads to compounds with high selectivity towards the cancer-specific isozyme IX. Crystal structures of the carboranes in the active site provide information that can be applied to the structure-based design of specific inhibitors.

Among non-covalent interactions, B-H⋯π and C-H⋯π hydrogen bonding is rather weak and less studied. Nevertheless, since both can affect the energetics of protein-ligand binding, their understanding is an important prerequisite for reliable predictions of affinities. Through a combination of high-resolution X-ray crystallography and quantum-chemical calculations on carbonic anhydrase II/carborane-based inhibitor systems, this paper provides the first example of B-H⋯π hydrogen bonding in a protein-ligand complex.

Two types of carboranes were investigated, (i) icosahedral cobalt bis(dicarbollide)(1-) ion with sulfamidoalkyl moieties, and (ii) 7,8-nido-dicarbaundecaborate with sulfonamidoalkyl side chains. First, the mixed acidity constants, pK , of the sulfamidoalkyl and sulfonamidoalkyl groups of the above carboranes and their actual ionic mobilities were determined by nonlinear regression analysis of the pH dependences of their effective electrophoretic mobility measured by capillary electrophoresis in the pH range 8.

Carborane-based compounds are promising lead structures for development of inhibitors of carbonic anhydrases (CAs). Here, we report structural and computational analysis applicable to structure-based design of carborane compounds with selectivity toward the cancer-specific CAIX isoenzyme. We determined the crystal structure of CAII in complex with 1-methylenesulfamide-1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecaborane at 1.

The crystal structures of two novel carborane-sulfamide inhibitors in the complex with human carbonic anhydrase II (hCAII) have been studied using QM/MM calculations. Even though both complexes possess the strongly interacting sulfamide···zinc ion motif, the calculations have revealed the different nature of binding of the carborane parts of the inhibitors. The neutral closo-carborane cage was bound to hCAII mainly via dispersion interactions and formed only very weak dihydrogen bonds.
