Synthesis, characterization and carbonic anhydrase inhibitory activity of novel benzothiazole derivatives

摘要

Abstract N-protected amino acids were reacted with substituted benzothiazoles to give the corresponding N-protected amino acid-benzothiazole conjugates (60–89%). Their structures were confirmed by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (13C NMR), IR and elemental analysis. Their carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) inhibitory activities were determined against two cytosolic human isoforms (hCA I and hCA II), one membrane-associated (hCA IV) and one transmembrane (hCA XII) enzyme by a stopped-flow CO₂ hydrase assay method. The new compounds showed rather weak, micromolar inhibitory activity against most of these enzymes.
