AI Article Synopsis

  • - The study introduced a dual-tail approach for designing new inhibitors for Carbonic Anhydrase (CA) IX, using both hydrophobic and hydrophilic fragments to effectively target the enzyme's active site, which contains a zinc ion.
  • - It contrasted the newly designed inhibitors with sulfanilamide, demonstrating a substantial 1000-fold increase in binding affinity and effective inhibition rates (IC values) ranging from 7-152 nM, with some compounds outperforming acetazolamide.
  • - The researchers validated the efficiency of their compounds through experimental data and molecular docking simulations, showing promise for the future development of CA IX inhibitors in cancer therapies.

Article Abstract

Dual-tail approach was employed to design novel Carbonic Anhydrase (CA) IX inhibitors by simultaneously matching the hydrophobic and hydrophilic halves of the active site, which also contains a zinc ion as part of the catalytic center. The classic sulfanilamide moiety was used as the zinc binding group. An amino glucosamine fragment was chosen as the hydrophilic part and a cinnamamide fragment as the hydrophobic part in order to draw favorable interactions with the corresponding halves of the active site. In comparison with sulfanilamide which is largely devoid of the hydrophilic and hydrophobic interactions with the two halves of the active site, the compounds so designed and synthesized in this study showed 1000-fold improvement in binding affinity. Most of the compounds inhibited the CA effectively with IC values in the range of 7-152 nM. Compound 14e (IC: 7 nM) was more effective than the reference drug acetazolamide (IC: 30 nM). The results proved that the dual-tail approach to simultaneously matching the hydrophobic and hydrophilic halves of the active site by linking hydrophobic and hydrophilic fragments was useful for designing novel CA inhibitors. The effectiveness of those compounds was elucidated by both the experimental data and molecular docking simulations. This work laid a solid foundation for further development of novel CA IX inhibitors for cancer treatment.
