“…Compounds 5a – n showed a number of inhibitory profiles against the transmembrane tumor-associated isoform hCA IX. Compounds 5g , 5b , 5d , 5e , 5j and 5n had sub micromolar inhibitory potencies against hCA IX (Kis) of 0.32, 0.36, 0.72, 0.84, 1.10, and 1.3 μM, respectively, with a pronounced selectivity for hCA IX over hCA XII (12, 11.50, 7.00, 6.50, 5.60, and 5.0, respectively) in comparison to AAZ (selectivity ratio for hCA IX over hCA XII = 0.20) [ 20 , 21 ]. In addition, compounds 5a – n displayed a variable degree of inhibition against the other transmembrane tumor-associated isoform, hCA XII, with Kis below 7 μM for all these compounds.…”
