Development of oxathiino[6,5-b]pyridine 2,2-dioxide derivatives as selective inhibitors of tumor-related carbonic anhydrases IX and XII

Abstract

Oxathiino[6,5-b]pyridine 2,2-dioxides are identified as a new class of isoform-selective nanomolar inhibitors of tumor associated human carbonic anhydrases (hCA) IX and XII. At the same time they do not inhibit or poorly inhibit cytosolic isoforms hCA I and II. Oxathiino[6,5-b]pyridine 2,2-dioxides exhibited good antiproliferative properties on tumor cell lines MCF-7 (Human breast adenocarcinoma), A549 (human lung (alveolar) adenocarcinoma) and HeLa (epithelioid cervix carcinoma).
