Ethylene bis-imidazoles are highly potent and selective activators for isozymes VA and VII of carbonic anhydrase, with a potential nootropic effect.

چکیده
A series of ethylene bis-imidazoles was synthesized via a novel microwave-mediated synthesis. Biological testing on eight isozymes of carbonic anhydrase (CA) present in the human brain revealed compounds with nanomolar potency against CA VA and CA VII, also displaying excellent selectivity against other CA isozymes present in this organ.

Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors and Activators: Small Organic Molecules as Drugs and Prodrugs
This chapter concerns influences of inhibitors and activators on carbonic anhydrase isoenzymes of various living systems. Carbonic anhydrase (EC 4.2.1.1., CA) is a pH regulatory/metabolic enzyme in all life kingdoms, found in organisms all over the phylogenetic tree (Supuran, 2008a,b,c) catalyzing the hydration of carbon dioxide to bicarbonate and the corresponding dehydration of bicarbonate in...
متن کاملFive- and Six-Membered Nitrogen-Containing Compounds as Selective Carbonic Anhydrase Activators.
It has been proven that specific isoforms of human carbonic anhydrase (hCA) are able to fine-tune physiological pathways connected to signal processing, and that decreased CAs expression negatively influences cognition, leading to mental retardation, Alzheimer's disease, and aging-related cognitive dysfunctions. For this reason, a small library of natural and synthetic nitrogen containing cycli...
متن کاملStudy of Glycation Process of Human Carbonic Anhydrase II and Investigation of Effect of Fasting On Enzyme Activity by Using Spectroscopic Methods
Background: Glycation is the non-enzymatic reaction between the carbonyl groups in sugar and free amino groups in proteins. this reaction leads to changes in structure and functions of proteins. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) is the final stage in this process, which is highly oxidizing and destructive nature, causing many diabetic complications. Methods: In the present investigation, ...
متن کاملNovel inhibition of carbonic anhydrase isozymes I, II and III by carbamoyl phosphate.
Carbamoyl phosphate has been shown to inhibit carbonic anhydrase (CA) isozymes CA I, CA II and CA III. This physiologically important molecule is the most potent, naturally occurring inhibitor of carbonic anhydrase yet found. It is also unique, among carbonic anhydrase inhibitors discovered hitherto, in that it inhibits the 3 isozymes with equal effect, despite their strikingly different proper...
متن کاملA highly selective space-folded photo-induced electron transfer fluorescent probe for carbonic anhydrase isozymes IX and its applications for biological imaging.
The first highly selective and sensitive fluorescent probe Z1 for detection of carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX) over isoforms CA I and CA II was developed. As demonstrated, Z1 worked effectively in both enzymatic systems and living hypoxia cells.
