Abstract
Sulphonamides are biologically important compounds with low toxicity, many bioactivities and cost-effectiveness. Eight sulphonamide derivatives were synthesised and characterised by FT-IR, 13C NMR, 1H NMR, LC-MS and elemental analysis. Their inhibitory effect on AChE, and carbonic anhydrase I and II enzyme activities was investigated. Their antioxidant activity was determined using different bioanalytical assays such as radical scavenging tests with ABTS•+, and DPPH•+ as well as metal-reducing abilities with CUPRAC, and FRAP assays. All compounds showed satisfactory enzyme inhibitory potency in nanomolar concentrations against AChE and CA isoforms with KI values ranging from 10.14 ± 0.03 to 100.58 ± 1.90 nM. Amine group containing derivatives showed high metal reduction activity and about 70% ABTS radical scavenging activity. Due to their antioxidant activity and AChE inhibition, these novel compounds may be considered as leads for investigations in neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Chagas disease and leishmaniasis are neglected tropical disorders caused by the protozoans Trypanosoma cruzi and Leishmania spp. Carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) from these protozoans (α-TcCA and β-LdcCA) have been validated as promising targets for chemotherapic interventions. Many anti-protozoan agents, such as nitroimidazoles, nifurtimox, and benznidazole possess a nitro aromatic group in their structure which is crucial for their activity. As a continuation of our previous work on N-nitrosulfonamides as anti-protozoan agents, we investigated benzenesulfonamides bearing a nitro aromatic moiety against TcCA and LdcCA, observing selective inhibitions over human off-target CAs. Selected derivatives were assessed in vitro in different developmental stages of T. cruzi and Leishmania spp. A lack of significant growth inhibition has been found, which has been connected to the low permeability of this class of derivatives through cell membranes. Further strategies necessarily need to be designed for targeting Chagas disease and leishmaniasis with nitro-containing CA inhibitors.

Abstract
A series of 1,2,3-triazole-bearing benzenesulfonamides was assessed for the inhibition of carbonic anhydrases (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) from bacteria Vibrio cholerae (VchCAα and VchCAβ) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (β-mtCA3). Growing resistance phenomena against existing antimicrobial drugs are globally spreading and highlight a urgent need of agents endowed with alternative mechanisms of action. Two global WHO strategies aim to reduce cholera deaths by 90% and eradicate the tuberculosis epidemic by 2030. The derivatives here reported represent interesting leads towards the optimization of new antibiotic agents showing excellent inhibitory efficiency and selectivity for the target CAs over the human (h) off-target isoform hCA I. In detail, the first subset of derivatives potently inhibits VchCAα in a low nanomolar range (KIs between 0.72 and 22.6 nM). Compounds of a second subset, differing from the first one for the position of the spacer between benzenesulfonamide and triazole, preferentially inhibit VchCAβ (KIs in the range 54.8-102.4 nM) and β-mtCA3 (KIs in the range 28.2-192.5 nM) even more than the clinically used AAZ, used as the standard.

Abstract
There is an urgent need for new chemotherapic agents to treat human fungal infections due to emerging and spreading globally resistance mechanisms. Among the new targets that have been recently investigated for the development of antifungal drugs there are the metallo-enzymes Carbonic Anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1). The inhibition of the β-CAs identified in many pathogenic fungi leads to an impairment of parasite growth and virulence, which in turn leads to a significant anti-infective effect. Based on antifungal nucleoside antibiotics, the inhibition of the β-CAs from the resistance-showing fungi Candida glabrata (CgNce103), Cryptococcus neoformans (Can2) and Malasszia globosa (MgCA) with a series of benzenesulfonamides bearing nitrogenous bases, such as uracil and adenine, is here reported. Many such compounds display low nanomolar (<100 nM) inhibitory potency against Can2 and CgNce103, whereas the activity of MgCA is considerably less affected (inhibition constants in the range 138.8-5601.5 nM). The β-CAs inhibitory data were compared with those against α-class human ubiquitous isoforms. Interesting selective inhibitory activities for the target fungal CAs over hCA I and II were reported, which make nitrogenous base benzenesulfonamides interesting tools and leads for further investigations in search of new antifungal with innovative mechanisms of action.

Abstract
The γ-carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) present in the Antarctic marine bacteria Pseudoalteromonas haloplanktis and Colwellia psychrerythraea, herein referred to as PhaCA and CpsCA, respectively, were investigated for their activation with a panel of 24 amino acids and amines. Both bacteria are considered Antarctic models for the investigation of photosynthetic and metabolic pathways in organisms adapted to live in cold seawater. PhaCA was much more sensitive to activation by these compounds compared to the genetically related enzyme CpsCA. The most effective PhaCA activators were d-Phe, l-/d-DOPA, l-Tyr and 2-pyridyl-methylamine, with the activation constant KA values of 0.72–3.27 µM. d-His, l-Trp, d-Tyr, histamine, dopamine, serotonin anddicarboxylic amino acids were also effective activators of PhaCA, with KA values of 6.48–9.85 µM. CpsCA was activated by d-Phe, d-DOPA, l-Trp, l-/d-Tyr, 4-amino-l-Phe, histamine, 2-pyridyl-methylamine and l-/d-Glu with KA values of 11.2–24.4 µM. The most effective CpsCA activator was l-DOPA (KA of 4.79 µM). Given that modulators of CAs from Antarctic bacteria have not been identified and investigated in detail for their metabolic roles to date, this research sheds some light on these poorly understood processes.

Abstract
The ubiquitous metalloenzymes carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) are responsible for the reversible hydration of CO₂ to bicarbonate (HCO₃-) and protons (H⁺). Bicarbonate may subsequently generate carbonate used in many functional activities by marine organisms. CAs play a crucial role in several physiological processes, e.g., respiration, inorganic carbon transport, intra and extra-cellular pH regulation, and bio-mineralization. Multiple transcript variants and protein isoforms exist in the organisms. Recently, 16 α-CA isoforms have been identified in the coral Stylophora pistillata. Here, we focalized the interest on three coral isoforms: SpiCA1 and SpiCA2, localized in the coral-calcifying cells; and SpiCA3, expressed in the cytoplasm of the coral cell layers. The three recombinant enzymes were heterologously expressed and investigated for their inhibition profiles with sulfonamides and sulfamates. The three coral CA isoforms differ significantly in their susceptibility to inhibition with sulfonamides. This study provides new insights into the coral physiology and the comprehension of molecular mechanisms involved in the bio-mineralization processes, since CAs interact with bicarbonate transporters, accelerating the trans-membrane bicarbonate movement and modulating the pH at both sides of the plasma membranes.

Abstract
The β-class carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) from the pathogenic bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei, BpsCAβ, that is responsible for the tropical disease melioidosis was investigated for its activation with natural and non-natural amino acids and amines. Previously, the γ-CA from this bacterium has been investigated with the same library of 19 amines/amino acids, which show very potent activating effects on both enzymes. The most effective BpsCAβ activators were L- and D-DOPA, L- and D-Trp, L-Tyr, 4-amino-L-Phe, histamine, dopamine, serotonin, 2-pyridyl-methylamine, 1-(2-aminoethyl)-piperazine and L-adrenaline with KAs of 0.9-27 nM. Less effective activators were D-His, L- and D-Phe, D-Tyr, 2-(2-aminoethyl)pyridine and 4-(2-aminoethyl)-morpholine with KAs of 73 nM-3.42 µM. The activation of CAs from bacteria, such as BpsCAγ/β, has not been considered previously for possible biomedical applications. It would be of interest to perform studies in which bacteria are cultivated in the presence of CA activators, which may contribute to understanding processes connected with the virulence and colonization of the host by pathogenic bacteria.

Abstract
The activation of a β-class carbonic anhydrase (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, encoded by the gene Rv3273 (mtCA 3), was investigated using a panel of natural and non-natural amino acids and amines. mtCA 3 was effectively activated by D-DOPA, L-Trp, dopamine and serotonin, with KAs ranging between 8.98 and 12.1 µM. L-His and D-Tyr showed medium potency activating effects, with KAs in the range of 17.6-18.2 µM, whereas other amines and amino acids were relatively ineffective activators, with KAs in the range of 28.9-52.2 µM. As the physiological roles of the three mtCAs present in this pathogen are currently poorly understood and considering that inhibition of these enzymes has strong antibacterial effects, discovering molecules that modulate their enzymatic activity may lead to a better understanding of the factors related to the invasion and colonisation of the host during Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.

Abstract
The inhibition of α-, β-, γ-, and δ-class carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) from bacteria (Vibrio cholerae and Porphyromonas gingivalis) and diatoms (Thalassiosira weissflogii) with a panel of N'-aryl-N-hydroxy-ureas is reported. The α-/β-CAs from V. cholerae (VchCAα and VchCAβ) were effectively inhibited by some of these derivatives, with KIs in the range of 97.5 nM - 7.26 µM and 52.5 nM - 1.81 µM, respectively, whereas the γ-class enzyme VchCAγ was less sensitive to inhibition (KIs of 4.75 - 8.87 µM). The β-CA from the pathogenic bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis (PgiCAβ) was not inhibited by these compounds (KIs > 10 µM) whereas the corresponding γ-class enzyme (PgiCAγ) was effectively inhibited (KIs of 59.8 nM - 6.42 µM). The δ-CA from the diatom Thalassiosira weissflogii (TweCAδ) showed effective inhibition with these derivatives (KIs of 33.3 nM - 8.74 µM). As most of these N-hydroxyureas are also ineffective as inhibitors of the human (h) widespread isoforms hCA I and II (KIs > 10 µM), this class of derivatives may lead to the development of CA inhibitors selective for bacterial/diatom enzymes over their human counterparts and thus to anti-infectives or agents with environmental applications.

Abstract
The α- and β-class carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) from the pathogenic bacterium Vibrio cholerae, VchCAα, and VchCAβ, were investigated for their activation with natural and non-natural amino acids and amines. The most effective VchCAα activators were L-tyrosine, histamine, serotonin, and 4-aminoethyl-morpholine, which had KAs in the range of 8.21-12.0 µM. The most effective VchCAβ activators were D-tyrosine, dopamine, serotonin, 2-pyridyl-methylamine, 2-aminoethylpyridine, and 2-aminoethylpiperazine, which had KAs in the submicromolar - low micromolar range (0.18-1.37 µM). The two bacterial enzymes had very different activation profiles with these compounds, between each other, and in comparison to the human isoforms hCA I and II. Some amines were selective activators of VchCAβ, including 2-pyridylmethylamine (KA of 180 nm for VchCAβ, and more than 20 µM for VchCAα and hCA I/II). The activation of CAs from bacteria, such as VchCAα/β has not been considered previously for possible biomedical applications. It would be of interest to study in more detail the extent that CA activators are implicated in the virulence and colonisation of the host by such pathogenic bacteria, which for Vibrio cholerae, is highly dependent on the bicarbonate concentration and pH in the surrounding tissue.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) are widespread metalloenzymes used by living organisms to accelerate the CO2 hydration/dehydration reaction at rates dramatically high compared to the uncatalyzed reaction. These enzymes have different isoforms and homologues and can be found in the form of cytoplasmic, secreted or membrane-bound proteins. CAs play a role in numerous physiological processes including biomineralization and symbiosis, as is the case in reef-building corals. Previously, molecular and biochemical data have been obtained at the molecular level in the branching coral Stylophora pistillata for two coral isoforms which differ significantly in their catalytic activity and susceptibility to inhibition with anions and sulfonamides. More recently it has been determined that the genome of S. pistillata encodes for 16 CAs. Here, we cloned, expressed, purified and characterized a novel α-CA, named SpiCA3, which is cytoplasmic and ubiquitously expressed in all the cell layers including the calcifying cells. SpiCA3 is the most effective CA among the coral isoforms investigated and the most efficient catalyst known up to date in Metazoa. We also investigated the inhibition profiles of SpiCA3 and compared it with those obtained for the two other isoforms in the presence of inorganic anions and other small molecules known to interfere with metalloenzymes. These results suggest that S. pistillata has adapted its CA isoforms to achieve the physiological functions in different physicochemical microenvironments.

Abstract
The first activation study of a η-class carbonic anhydrase (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) is reported. A panel of 24 natural and non-natural amino acids and amines was used to explore the activation profile of Plasmodium falciparum CA (PfACA). The most effective activators belonged to the amino acid chemotype, with d-Glu, l-Asp, l-/d-Phe and l-/d-DOPA possessing activation constant in the range of 82 nM-0.75 µM, whereas l-/d-His, l-Tyr, 4-amino-l-Phe and l-Gln were slightly less effective (KA in the range of 1.00-2.51 µM. The only amine with submicromolar activating properties was 1-(2-aminoethyl-piperazine) with a KA of 0.71 µM, whereas histamine, dopamine and serotonin showed KA ranging between 7.18 and 9.97 µM. As CA activators have scarcely been investigated for their interaction with protozoan CAs, this study may be relevant for an improved understanding of the role of this enzyme in the life cycle of the malaria producing organisms belonging to the genus Plasmodium.

Abstract
The activation of the δ-class carbonic anhydrase (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) from the diatom Thalassiosira weissflogii (TweCAδ) was investigated using a panel of natural and non-natural amino acids and amines. The most effective activator of TweCAδ was d-Tyr (KA of 51 nM), whereas several other amino acids and amines, such as L-His, L-Trp, d-Trp, dopamine and serotonin were submicromolar activators (KAs from 0.51 to 0.93 µM). The most ineffective activator of TweCAδ was 4-amino-l-Phe (18.9 µM), whereas d-His, l-/d-Phe, l-/d-DOPA, l-Tyr, histamine, some pyridyl-alkylamines, l-adrenaline and aminoethyl-piperazine/morpholine were moderately potent activators (KAs from 1.34 to 8.16 µM). For any δ-CA, there are no data on the crystal structure, homology modelling and the amino acid residues that are responsible for proton transfer to the active site are currently unknown making it challenging to provide a detailed rational for these findings. However, these data provide further evidence that this class of underexplored CA deserves more attention.

Abstract
A series of N'-phenyl-N-hydroxyureas has been prepared by reacting hydroxylamine with aromatic isocyanates. These compounds were investigated as inhibitors of human carbonic anhydrases (hCAs, EC 4.2.1.1), considering four physiologically relevant isoforms, the cytosolic isoforms hCA I and II, and tumor associated, transmembrane isoforms hCA IX and XII. The new compounds reported here did not inhibit the widespread cytosolic isoforms hCA I and II, but they inhibited the tumor associated isoforms with interesting potencies. The most effective inhibitors showed KIs ranging between 72.8 and 78.9 nM against hCA IX and between 6.9 and 7.2 against hCA XII, making them of interest as candidates for antitumor studies.

Abstract
A series of monothiocarbamates (MTCs) was investigated for the inhibition of the β-class carbonic anhydrase (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) from the fungal parasite Malassezia globosa, MgCA. These MTCs incorporate various scaffolds, among which aliphatic amine with 1–4 carbons atom in their molecule, morpholine, piperazine, as well as phenethylamine and benzylamine derivatives. All the reported MTCs displayed a better efficacy in inhibiting MgCA compared to the clinically used sulphonamide drug acetazolamide (KI of 74 μM), with KIs spanning between 1.85 and 18.9 μM. The homology model of the enzyme previously reported by us was used to rationalize the results by docking some of these MTCs within the fungal CA active site. This study might be useful to enrich the knowledge of the MgCA inhibition profile, eliciting novel ideas pertaining the design of modulators with potential efficacy in combatting dandruff or other fungal infections.

Abstract
We cloned, expressed, purified, and determined the kinetic constants of the recombinant α-carbonic anhydrase (rec-MgaCA) identified in the mantle tissue of the bivalve Mediterranean mussel, Mytilus galloprovincialis. In metazoans, the α-CA family is largely represented and plays a pivotal role in the deposition of calcium carbonate biominerals. Our results demonstrated that rec-MgaCA was a monomer with an apparent molecular weight of about 32 kDa. Moreover, the determined kinetic parameters for the CO2 hydration reaction were kcat = 4.2 × 105 s−1 and kcat/Km of 3.5 × 107 M−1 ×s−1. Curiously, the rec-MgaCA showed a very similar kinetic and acetazolamide inhibition features when compared to those of the native enzyme (MgaCA), which has a molecular weight of 50 kDa. Analysing the SDS-PAGE, the protonography, and the kinetic analysis performed on the native and recombinant enzyme, we hypothesised that probably the native MgaCA is a multidomain protein with a single CA domain at the N-terminus of the protein. This hypothesis is corroborated by the existence in mollusks of multidomain proteins with a hydratase activity. Among these proteins, nacrein is an example of α-CA multidomain proteins characterised by a single CA domain at the N-terminus part of the entire protein.

Abstract
The carbonic anhydrase superfamily (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) of metalloenzymes is present in all three domains of life (Eubacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya), being an interesting example of convergent/divergent evolution, with its seven families (α-, β-, γ-, δ-, ζ-, η-, and θ-CAs) described so far. CAs catalyse the simple, but physiologically crucial reaction of carbon dioxide hydration to bicarbonate and protons. Recently, our groups characterised the α-CA from the thermophilic bacterium, Sulfurihydrogenibium yellowstonense finding a very high catalytic activity for the CO2 hydration reaction (kcat = 9.35 × 105 s-1 and kcat/Km = 1.1 × 108 M-1 s-1) which was maintained after heating the enzyme at 80 °C for 3 h. This highly thermostable SspCA was covalently immobilised within polyurethane foam and onto the surface of magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles. Here, we describe a one-step procedure for immobilising the thermostable SspCA directly on the surface membrane of Escherichia coli, using the INPN domain of Pseudomonas syringae. This strategy has clear advantages with respect to other methods, which require as the first step the production and the purification of the biocatalyst, and as the second step the immobilisation of the enzyme onto a specific support. Our results demonstrate that thermostable SspCA fused to the INPN domain of P. syringae ice nucleation protein (INP) was correctly expressed on the outer membrane of engineered E. coli cells, affording for an easy approach to design biotechnological applications for this highly effective thermostable catalyst.

Abstract
A series of new derivatives was prepared by derivatisation of the 7-amino moiety present in 7-amino-3,4-dihydroquinolin-2(1H)-one, a compound investigated earlier as CAI. The derivatisation was achieved by: i) reaction with arylsulfonyl isocyanates/aryl isocyanates; (ii) reaction with fluorescein isothiocyanate; (iii) condensation with substituted benzoic acids in the presence of carbodiimides; (iv) reaction with 2,4,6-trimethyl-pyrylium tetrafluoroborate; (v) reaction with methylsulfonyl chloride and (vi) reaction with maleic anhydride. The new compounds were assayed as inhibitors of four carbonic anhydrases (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) human (h) isoforms of pharmacologic relevance, the cytosolic hCA I and II, the membrane-anchored hCA IV and the transmembrane, tumour-associated hCA IX. hCA IX was the most inhibited isoform (KIs ranging between 243.6 and 2785.6 nm) whereas hCA IV was not inhibited by these compounds. Most derivatives were weak hCA I and II inhibitors, with few of them showing KIs < 10 µm. Considering that the inhibition mechanism with these lactams is not yet elucidated, exploring a range of such derivatives with various substitution patterns may be useful to identify leads showing isoform selectivity or the desired pharmacologic action.

Abstract
Acridine orange (AO) a fluorescent cationic dye used for the management of human musculoskeletal sarcomas, due to its strong tumoricidal action and accumulation in the acidic environment typical of hypoxic tumors, was used for the preparation of a primary sulfonamide derivative. The rationale behind the drug design is the fact that hypoxic, acidic tumors overexpress carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) isoforms, such as CA IX, which is involved in pH regulation, proliferation, cell migration and invasion, and this enzyme is strongly inhibited by primary sulfonamides. The AO-sulfonamide derivative was indeed a potent, low nanomolar CA IX inhibitor whereas its inhibition of the cytosolic isoforms CA I and II was in the micromolar range. A second transmembrane, tumor-associated isoform, CA XII, was also effectively inhibited by the AO-sulfonamide derivative, making this compound an interesting theranostic agent for the management of hypoxic tumors.

Abstract
Burkholderia pseudomallei is a Gram-negative saprophytic bacterium responsible of melioidosis, an endemic disease of tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. A recombinant γ-CA (BpsγCA) identified in the genome of this bacterium was cloned and purified. Its catalytic activity and anion inhibition profiles were investigated. The enzyme was an efficient catalyst for the CO2 hydration showing a kcat of 5.3×105s-1 and kcat/Km of 2.5×107M-1×s-1. The best BpsγCA inhibitors were sulfamide, sulfamic acid, phenylboronic acid and phenylarsonic acid, which showed KI in the range of 49-83μM (these inhibitors showed millimolar inhibition constant against hCA II), followed by diethyldithiocarbamate, selenate, tellurate, perrhenate, selenocyanate, trithiocarbonate, tetraborato, pyrophosphate, stannate, carbonate, bicarbonate, azide, cyanide, thiocyanate and cyanate with KIs in the range of 0.55-9.1mM. In our laboratories, work is in progress to resolve the X-ray crystal structures of BpsγCA, which may allow the development of small molecule inhibitors with desired properties for targeting and inhibiting specifically the bacterial over the human CAs, considering the fact that B. pseudomallei is involved in a serious bacterial disease.

Abstract
Activation of the γ-class carbonic anhydrase (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) from the pathogenic bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei (BpsγCA) with a series of natural and non-natural amino acids and aromatic/heterocyclic amines has been investigated. The best BpsγCA activators were d-His, l-DOPA, d-Trp, 4-amino-l-Phe, dopamine, 2-(2-aminoethyl)pyridine, 2-aminoethyl-piparazine/morpholine and l-adrenaline, which showed activation constants ranging between 9 and 86nM. The least effective activators were l-His, l-Phe and 2-pyridyl-methylamine, with KAs in the range of 1.73-24.7μM. As little is known about the role of γ-CAs in the lifecycle and virulence of this saprophytic bacterium, this study may shed some light on such phenomena. This is the first CA activation study of a γ-CA from a pathogenic bacterium, the only other such study being on the enzyme discovered in the archaeon Methanosarcina thermophila, Cam.

Abstract
We have cloned, purified and investigated the catalytic activity and anion inhibition profiles of a full catalytic domain (358 amino acid residues) carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) from Plasmodium falciparum, PfCAdom, an enzyme belonging to the η-CA class and identified in the genome of the malaria-producing protozoa. A truncated such enzyme, PfCA1, containing 235 residues was investigated earlier for its catalytic and inhibition profiles. The two enzymes were efficient catalysts for CO2 hydration: PfCAdom showed a kcat of 3.8×10(5)s(-1) and kcat/Km of 7.2×10(7)M(-1)×s(-1), whereas PfCA showed a lower activity compared to PfCAdom, with a kcat of 1.4×10(5)s(-1) and kcat/Km of 5.4×10(6)M(-1)×s(-1). PfCAdom was generally less inhibited by most anions and small molecules compared to PfCA1. The best PfCAdom inhibitors were sulfamide, sulfamic acid, phenylboronic acid and phenylarsonic acid, which showed KIs in the range of 9-68μM, followed by bicarbonate, hydrogensulfide, stannate and N,N-diethyldithiocarbamate, which were submillimolar inhibitors, with KIs in the range of 0.53-0.97mM. Malaria parasites CA inhibition was proposed as a new strategy to develop antimalarial drugs, with a novel mechanism of action.

Abstract
The genome of the pathogenic bacterium Vibrio cholerae encodes for three carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) belonging to the α-, β- and γ-classes. Here we report and anion inhibition study of the β-CA, VchCAβ with anions and other small molecules which inhibit metalloenzymes. The best VchCAβ anion inhibitors were sulfamide, sulfamate, phenylboronic acid and phenylarsonic acid, which showed KIs in the range of 54-86μM. Diethyldithiocarbonate was also an effective VchCAβ inhibitor, with an inhibition constant of 0.73mM. The halides, cyanate, thiocyanate, cyanide, bicarbonate, carbonate, nitrate, nitrite, stannate, selenate, tellurate, divanadate, tetraborate, perrhenate, perruthenate, peroxydisulfate, selenocyanide, trithiocarbonate, and fluorosulfonate showed affinity in the low millimolar range, with KIs of 2.3-9.5mM. Identification of selective inhibitors of VchCAβ (over the human CA isoforms) may lead to pharmacological tools useful for understanding the physiological role(s) of this under-investigated enzyme.

Abstract
The genome of the pathogenic bacterium Vibrio cholerae encodes for three carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) belonging to the α-, β- and γ-classes. VchCA, the α-CA from this species was investigated earlier, whereas the β-class enzyme, VchCAβ was recently cloned, characterized kinetically and its X-ray crystal structure reported by this group. Here we report an inhibition study with sulfonamides and one sulfamate of this enzyme. The best VchCAβ inhibitors were deacetylated acetazolamide and methazolamide and hydrochlorothiazide, which showed inhibition constants of 68.2-87.0nM. Other compounds, with medium potency against VchCAβ, (KIs in the range of 275-463nM), were sulfanilamide, metanilamide, sulthiame and saccharin whereas the clinically used agents such as acetazolamide, methazolamide, ethoxzolamide, dorzolamide, zonisamide and celecoxib were micromolar inhibitors (KIs in the range of 4.51-8.57μM). Identification of potent and possibly selective inhibitors of VchCA and VchCAβ over the human CA isoforms, may lead to pharmacological tools useful for understanding the physiological role(s) of this under-investigated enzymes.

Abstract
The Antarctic bacterium Colwellia psychrerythraea encodes for a γ-class carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1), which was cloned, purified and characterized. The enzyme (CpsCAγ) has a moderate catalytic activity for the physiologic reaction of CO2 hydration to bicarbonate and protons, with a k(cat) 6.0×10(5) s(-1) and a k(cat)/K(m) of 4.7×10(6) M(-1) s(-1). A series of sulfonamides and a sulfamate were investigated as inhibitors of the new enzyme. The best inhibitor was metanilamide (K(I) of 83.5 nM) followed by indisulam, valdecoxib, celecoxib, sulthiame and hydrochlorothiazide (K(I)s ranging between 343 and 491 nM). Acetazolamide, methazolamide as well as other aromatic/heterocyclic derivatives showed inhibition constants between 502 and 7660 nM. The present study may shed some more light regarding the role that γ-CAs play in the life cycle of psychrophilic bacteria as the Antarctic one investigated here, by allowing the identification of inhibitors which may be useful as pharmacologic tools.

Abstract
We have cloned, purified and characterized the γ-carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) present in the genome of the Antarctic bacterium Colwellia psychrerythraea, which is an obligate psychrophile. The enzyme shows a significant catalytic activity for the physiologic reaction of CO2 hydration to bicarbonate and protons, with the following kinetic parameters: kcat of 6.0×10(5)s(-1) and a kcat/Km of 4.7×10(6)M(-1)×s(-1). This activity was inhibited by the sulfonamide CA inhibitor (CAI) acetazolamide, with a KI of 502nM. A range of anions was also investigated for their inhibitory action against the new enzyme CpsCA. Perchlorate, tetrafluoroborate, fluoride and bromide were not inhibitory, whereas cyanate, thiocyanate, cyanide, hydrogensulfide, carbonate and bicarbonate showed KIs in the range of 1.4-4.4mM. Diethyldithiocarbamate was a better inhibitor (KI of 0.58mM) whereas sulfamide, sulfamate, phenylboronic acid and phenylarsonic acid were the most effective inhibitors detected, with KIs ranging between 8 and 38μM. The present study may shed some more light regarding the role that γ-CAs play in the life cycle of psychrophilic bacteria as the Antarctic one investigated here.

Abstract
Four generations of poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers incorporating benzenesulfonamide moieties were investigated as inhibitors of carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) belonging to the α-, β-, γ- and η-classes which are present in pathogenic bacteria, fungi or protozoa. The following bacterial, fungal and protozoan organisms were included in the study: Vibrio cholerae, Trypanosoma cruzi, Leishmania donovani chagasi, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Cryptococcus neoformans, Candida glabrata, and Plasmodium falciparum. The eight pathozymes present in these organisms were efficiently inhibited by the four generations PAMAM-sulfonamide dendrimers, but multivalency effects were highly variable among the different enzyme classes. The Vibrio enzyme VchCA was best inhibited by the G3 dendrimer incorporating 32 sulfamoyl moieties. The Trypanosoma enzyme TcCA on the other hand was best inhibited by the first generation dendrimer G0 (with 4 sulfamoyl groups), whereas for other enzymes the optimal inhibitory power was observed for the G1 or G2 dendrimers, with 8 and 16 sulfonamide functionalities. This study thus proves that the multivalency may be highly relevant for enzyme inhibition for some but not all CAs from pathogenic organisms. On the other hand, some dendrimers investigated here showed a better inhibitory power compared to acetazolamide for enzymes from widespread pathogens, such as the η-CA from Plasmodium falciparum. Overall, the main conclusion is that this class of molecules may lead to important developments in the field of anti-infective CA inhibitors.

Abstract
The genome of the fungal parasite Malassezia globosa, the causative agent of dandruff, contains a single gene annotated as encoding a carbonic anhydrase (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) belonging to the β-class (MgCA). In an earlier work (J. Med. Chem. 2012, 55, 3513) we have validated this enzyme as an anti-dandruff drug target, reporting that sulfonamide inhibitors show in vitro and in vivo effects, in an animal model of Malassezia infection. However, few classes of compounds apart the sulfonamides, were investigated for their activity against MgCA. Here we present an anion inhibition study of this enzyme, reporting that metal complexing anions such as cyanate, thiocyanate, cyanide, azide are weak MgCA inhibitors (KIs ranging between 6.81 and 45.2 mM) whereas bicarbonate (KI of 0.59 mM) and diethyldithiocarbamate (KI of 0.30 mM) together with sulfamide, sulfamate, phenylboronic acid and phenylarsonic acid were the most effective inhibitors detected so far, with KIs ranging between 83 and 94 μM. This study may help a better understanding of the inhibition profile of this enzyme and may offer the possibility to design new such modulators of activity belonging to different chemical classes.

Abstract
As extension of our previous study herein we report a comprehensive investigation of poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers as modulators of the human carbonic anhydrase (hCA, EC 4.2.1.1) isoforms I-XIV. Interestingly inhibitory activity was observed for the non-functionalized dendrimers against the hCA I, VII, IX, XII and XIV isoforms, whereas activation properties were reported only for the cytosolic abundant hCA II. Highly efficient inhibitory action against many isoforms having medicinal chemistry applications, such as hCA II, V, VII, IX, XII and XIV, was observed for the PAMAM functionalized counterparts bearing 4, 8, 16 and 32 benzenesulfonamide moieties. Possible applications of dendrimer-CA inhibitors as therapeutic/diagnostic agents are envisaged.

Abstract
A new γ-class carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) was cloned, purified and characterized from the Antarctic bacterium Pseudoalteromonas haloplanktis, PhaCAγ. The enzyme has a medium-low catalytic activity for the physiologic reaction of CO2 hydration to bicarbonate and protons, with a kcat of 1.4×10(5)s(-1) and a kcat/Km of 1.9×10(6)M(-1)s(-1). An anion inhibition study of PhaCAγ with inorganic anions and small molecule inhibitors is also reported. Many anions present in sea water, such as chloride, fluoride, sulfate, iodide, but also others such as azide, perchlorate and tetrafluoroborate did not inhibit this enzyme. Pseudohalides such as cyanate, thiocyanate, cyanide, selenocyanide, and also bicarbonate, nitrate, nitrite and many complex inorganic anions showed inhibition in the millimolar range (KI in the range of 1.7-9.3mM). The best PhaCAγ inhibitors detected in this study were diethyldithiocarbamate (KI of 0.96 mM) as well as sulfamide, sulfamate, phenylboronic acid and phenylarsonic acid (KI in the range of 82-91 μM). Since γ-CAs are poorly understood at this moment, being present in carboxysomes and thus involved in photosynthesis, this study may be relevant for a better understanding of these processes in Antarctic bacteria/cyanobacteria.

Abstract
Four generations of poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers decorated with benzenesulfonamide moieties were prepared by derivatizing the amino groups of the dendrimer with 4-carboxy-benzenesulfonamide functionalities. Compounds incorporating 4, 8, 16, and 32 sulfonamide moieties were thus obtained, which showed an increasing carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) inhibitory action with the increase of the number of sulfamoyl groups in the dendrimer. Best inhibitory activity (in the low nanomolar-subnanomolar range) was observed for isoforms CA II and XII, involved among others in glaucoma. In an animal model of this disease, the chronic administration of such dendrimers for 5 days led to a much more efficient drop of intraocular pressure compared to the standard drug dorzolamide.

Abstract
Dithiocarbamates (DTCs) prepared from primary or secondary amines, which incorporated amino/hydroxyl-alkyl, mono-/bicyclic aliphatic/heterocyclic rings based on the quinuclidine, piperidine, hydroxy-/carboxy-/amino-substituted piperidine, morpholine and piperazine scaffolds, were investigated for the inhibition of α- and β-carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) of pharmacologic relevance, such as the human (h) isoform hCA I and II, as well as the Saccharomyces cerevisiae β-CA, scCA. The yeast and its β-CA were shown earlier to be useful models of pathogenic fungal infections. The DTCs investigated here were medium potency hCA I inhibitors (K(I)s of 66.5-910 nM), were more effective as hCA II inhibitors (K(I)s of 8.9-107 nM) and some of them showed excellent, low nanomolar activity against the yeast enzyme, with inhibition constants ranging between 6.4 and 259 nM. The detailed structure activity relationship for inhibition of the yeast and human enzymes is discussed. Several of the investigated DTCs showed excellent selectivity ratios for inhibiting the yeast over the human cytosolic CA isoforms.

Abstract
The oral pathogenic bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis, encodes for two carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) one belonging to the γ-class (PgiCA) and another one to the β-class (PgiCAb). This last enzyme has been cloned and characterized here for its inhibition profile with the main class of CA inhibitors, the sulfonamides. Many of the clinically used sulfonamides as well as simple aromatic/heterocyclic sulfonamides were ineffective as PgiCAb inhibitors whereas better inhibition was observed with simple derivatives such as sulfanilamide, metanilamide, 4-aminoalkylbenzenesulfonamides (KIs of 364-475nM). The halogenosulfanilamides incorporating heavy halogens, 4-hydroxy- and 4-hydroxyalkyl-benzenesulfonamides, were also micromolar, ineffective PgiCAb inhibitors. The best inhibitors of the β-class enzyme were acetazolamide and ethoxzolamide, with KIs of 214-280nM. Interestingly, the γ-class enzyme was much more sensitive to sulfonamide inhibitors compared to the β-class one, PgiCAb. Identification of potent and possibly selective inhibitors of PgiCAb/PgiCA may lead to pharmacological tools useful for understanding the physiological role(s) of these enzymes, since this bacterium is the main causative agent of periodontitis and few treatment options are presently available.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) belonging to the α-, β-, γ-, δ- and ζ-CAs are ubiquitous metalloenzymes present in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. CAs started to be investigated in detail only recently in pathogenic bacteria, in the search for antibiotics with a novel mechanism of action, since it has been demonstrated that in many such organisms they are essential for the life cycle of the organism. CA inhibition leads to growth impairment or growth defects in several pathogenic bacteria. The microbiota of the human oral mucosa consists of a myriad of bacterial species, Porphyromonas gingivalis being one of them and the major pathogen responsible for the development of chronic periodontitis. The genome of P. gingivalis encodes for a β- and a γ-CAs. Recently, our group purified the recombinant γ-CA (named PgiCA) which was shown to possess a significant catalytic activity for the reaction that converts CO2 to bicarbonate and protons, with a kcat of 4.1 × 10(5 )s(-1) and a kcat/Km of 5.4 × 10(7 )M(-1 )× s(-1). We have also investigated its inhibition profile with a range of inorganic anions such as thiocyanate, cyanide, azide, hydrogen sulfide, sulfamate and trithiocarbonate. Here, we describe the cloning, purification and kinetic parameters of the other class of CA identified in the genome of P. gingivalis, the β-CA, named PgiCAb. This enzyme has a good catalytic activity, with a kcat of 2.8 × 10(5 )s(-1) and a kcat/Km of 1.5 × 10(7 )M(-1 )× s(-1). PgiCAb was also inhibited by the clinically used sulfonamide acetazolamide, with an inhibition constant of 214 nM. The role of CAs as possible virulence factors of P. gingivalis is poorly understood at the moment but their good catalytic activity and the fact that they might be inhibited by a large number of compounds, which may pave the way for finding inhibitors with antibacterial activity that may elucidate these phenomena and lead to novel antibiotics.

Abstract
Titania nanoparticles in a hydroxypropyl cellulose matrix produced using a sol-gel method were utilized to prepare films on polycarbonate slides and coatings on cellulose papers. The exposure of these materials to hydrogen peroxide gas leads to the development of an intense yellow color. By using an inexpensive web camera and a tungsten lamp to measure the reflected light, first-order behavior in the color change was observed when exposed to peroxide vapor of less than 50 ppm. For 50 mass percent titania nanoparticles in hydroxypropyl cellulose films on polycarbonate, the detection limit was estimated to be 90 ppm after a 1 min measurement and 1.5 ppm after a 1 h integration. The coatings on the filter paper had a 3-fold higher sensitivity compared to the films, with a detection limit of 5.4 ppm peroxide for a 1 min measurement and 0.09 ppm peroxide for a 1 h integration. The high sensitivity and rapid response of these films make them a promising material for use as a sensitive peroxide detector.

Abstract
We investigated the cloning, catalytic activity and anion inhibition of the β-class carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) from the bacterial pathogen Legionella pneumophila. Two such enzymes, lpCA1 and lpCA2, were found in the genome of this pathogen. These enzymes were determined to be efficient catalysts for CO2 hydration, with kcat values in the range of (3.4-8.3)×10(5) s(-1) and kcat/KM values of (4.7-8.5)×10(7) M(-1) s(-1). A set of inorganic anions and small molecules was investigated to identify inhibitors of these enzymes. Perchlorate and tetrafluoroborate were not acting as inhibitors (KI >200 mM), whereas sulfate was a very weak inhibitor for both lpCA1 and lpCA2 (KI values of 77.9-96.5 mM). The most potent lpCA1 inhibitors were cyanide, azide, hydrogen sulfide, diethyldithiocarbamate, sulfamate, sulfamide, phenylboronic acid and phenylarsonic acid, with KI values ranging from 6 to 94 μM. The most potent lpCA2 inhibitors were diethyldithiocarbamate, sulfamide, sulfamate, phenylboronic acid and phenylarsonic acid, with KI values ranging from 2 to 13 μM. As these enzymes seem to be involved in regulation of phagosome pH during Legionella infection, inhibition of these targets may lead to antibacterial agents with a novel mechanism of action.
