“…Many synthetic efforts have been made for the development of specific CAIs: in the last 15 years, in addition to the classical ''tail approach'' [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][25][26][27][28] which is mainly applied to classical sulfonamide inhibitors and their isosters, novel CAIs scaffolds have been also identified such as the polyamines 29 , phenols [30][31][32] , dithiocarbamates [33][34][35][36] , xanthates 37 , coumarins, thiocoumarins, 2-thioxocoumarins, coumarine oximes 4,38,39 . Sulfocoumarins are the latest CAI class identified and similarly to the coumarins showed the most selective inhibition profiles against the pathologically valuable CA isoforms 1,9,[40][41][42][43][44] . In analogy to coumarins, the substitution pattern at the sulfocoumarin scaffolds strongly influences the potency and selectivity profile against different hCA isoforms 1, [40][41][42][43][44] .…”
