Synthesis of novel 5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-sulfonamide containing acridine sulfonamide/carboxamide compounds and investigation of their inhibition effects on human carbonic anhydrase I, II, IV and VII

Abstract

Herein, we report that acridine intermediates 5 were obtained from the reduction of nitro acridine derivatives 4, which were synthesized via condensation of dimedone, p-nitrobenzaldehyde with 4-amino-N-(5-sulfamoyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)benzamide, respectively. Then acridine sulfonamide/carboxamide (7a–i) compounds were synthesized by reaction of amino acridine 5 with sulfonyl chlorides and carbamoyl chlorides. The new compounds were characterized by melting points, FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and HRMS analyzes. The evaluation of in vitro test of the synthesized compounds against hCA I, II, IV and VII showed that some of them are potent inhibitors. Among them, compound 7e showed the most potent activity against hCA II with a KI of 7.9 nM.
