Reaction of twenty aromatic/heterocyclic sulfonamides containing a free amino, imino, hydrazino or hydroxyl group, with tosyl isocyanate or 3,4-dichlorophenyl isocyanate afforded two series of derivatives containing arylsulfonylureido or diarylureido moieties in their molecule respectively. The new derivatives were assayed as inhibitors of three carbonic anhydrase (CA) isozymes, CA I, II (cytosolic forms) and IV (membrane-bound form). Potent inhibition was observed against all three isozymes but especially against CA I, which is generally 10-75 times less susceptible to inhibition by the classical sulfonamides in clinical use as compared to the other major red cell isozyme, CA II, or the membrane-bound one, CA IV. The derivatives obtained from tosyl isocyanate were generally more potent than the corresponding ones obtained from 3,4-dichlorophenyl isocyanate. This is the first reported example of selective inhibition of CA I and might lead to more selective drugs/diagnostic agents from this class of pharmacologically relevant compounds.
