Synthesis, carbonic anhydrase I and II inhibition studies of the 1,3,5-trisubstituted-pyrazolines

Abstract

4-(3-(4-Substituted-phenyl)-5-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl) benzenesulfonamides (9-16) were successfully synthesized and their chemical structures were confirmed by H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR, and HRMS spectra. Carbonic anhydrase I and II inhibitory effects of the compounds were investigated. Ki values of the compounds were in the range of 316.7 +/- 9.6-533.1 +/- 187.8nM towards hCA I and 412.5 +/- 115.4-624.6 +/- 168.2nM towards hCA II isoenzymes. While K-i values of the reference compound Acetazolamide were 278.8 +/- 44.3 nM and 293.4 +/- 46.4 nM towards hCA I and hCA II izoenzymes, respectively. Compound 14 with bromine and compound 13 with fluorine substituents can be considered as the leader compounds of the series because of the lowest K-i values in series to make further detailed carbonic anhydrase inhibiton studies.
