title: Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors: synthesis of Schiff bases of hydroxybenzaldehydes with aromatic sulfonamides and their reactions with arylsulfonyl isocyanates.
abstract: Reaction of o- or p-hydroxybenzaldehydes with sulfanilamide, homosulfanilamide and p-(2-aminoethyl)- benzene-sulfonamide afforded several new Schiff bases which were subsequently derivatized at the phenolic hydroxy moiety by reaction with arylsulfonylisocyanates. The new arylsulfonylcarbamates obtained in this way possessed interesting inhibitory properties against three carbonic anhydrase (CA) isozymes, hCA I, hCA II and bCA IV (h = human, b = bovine isozyme). All these new derivatives, the simple Schiff bases and the arylsulfonylcarbamates obtained as outlined above, were more inhibitory against all isozymes as compared to the corresponding parent sulfonamide from which they were obtained. Generally, the p-hydroxybenzaldehyde derivatives were more active than the corresponding ortho isomers. An interesting behavior was evidenced for some of the ortho-substituted arylsulfonylcarbamato-sulfonamides, which showed higher affinities for the isozyme hCA I, as compared to hCA II and bCA IV (generally hCA I is 10-1000 less sensitive to "normal" sulfonamide inhibitors, such as acetazolamide, methazolamide or dorzolamide, as compared to hCA II). This make the new derivatives attractive leads for designing isozyme I-specific inhibitors.
