Abstract:
A series of 1-aroyl-3-(4-aminosulfonylphenyl)thioureas containing free sulfonamide group has been evaluated for their ability to inhibit bovine carbonic anhydrase II (bCA, EC 4.2.1.1). All compounds in the series were able to inhibit bCA II, the most active inhibitor had IC50 value of 0.26 ± 0.01 µM. Molecular docking studies and detailed structure-activity relationship studies were carried out. The absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion (ADME) properties, as a predictor of oral absorption, were computationally calculated and compared with the clinically used drug acetazolamide.

Preparation of Acid Anhydrides
The carboxylate ion acts as a nucleophile that attacks the carbonyl carbon of the acid chloride to form a tetrahedral intermediate. Subsequently, the re-formation of the carbonyl group with the loss of the chloride ion as a leaving group leads to the formation of an acid...

Indirect-Acting Cholinergic Agonists: Mechanism of Action
Reversible inhibitors like edrophonium bind to a specific part of the enzyme called the anionic catalytic site. They form noncovalent bonds, which means they are not strongly attached to the enzyme. This creates a temporary and less stable enzyme–inhibitor complex,...
