“…In this context, over the last decade, several research groups have disclosed that sulfonamide–acyl thiourea derivatives were effective inhibitors of CAs ( Figure 1 b) [ 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 ]. In order to extend these efforts and in continuation of our interest in the study of sulfonamide CAIs [ 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 ], in the present study, we synthesized a panel of 12 structurally diverse N -((4-sulfamoylphenyl)carbamothioyl) amides by the reaction of easily available 4-thioureidobenzenesulfonamide with the appropriate acid chlorides and investigated their inhibitory activities against three human CAs (hCA I, hCA II and hCA VII) and three bacterial β-CAs from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MtCA1-MtCA3), which were recently validated as effective targets for the development of antituberculosis agents [ 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 ], to discover possible promising drug candidate(s).…”
