Benzothiazepine compounds have a wide range of applications such as antibacterial, antidepressants, anticonvulsants, antihypertensives, antibiotics, antifungal, hypnotic, enzyme inhibitors, antitumor, anticancer and anti-HIV agents. In this study, the synthesis of novel tetralone-based benzothiazepine derivatives (1-16) and their in vitro antibacterial activity and human carbonic anhydrase isoenzymes I and II (hCA I and II) inhibitory effects were investigated. Both isoenzymes were purified by sepharose-4B-l-tyrosine-sulfanilamide affinity chromatography from fresh human red blood cells. All compounds demonstrated the low nanomolar inhibitory effects on both isoenzymes using esterase activity. Benzothiazepine derivative 2 demonstrated the best hCA I inhibitory effect with K value of 18.19 nM. Also, benzothiazepine derivative 7 showed the best hCA II inhibitory effect with K value of 11.31 nM. On the other hand, acetazolamide clinically used as CA inhibitor, showed K value of 19.92 nM against hCA I and 33.60 nM against hCA II, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
