Synthesis and investigation of inhibition effect of fluorinated sulfonamide derivatives on carbonic anhydrase.

Series of perfluoroalkanesulfonamides 1, sodium salt of perfluoroalkanesulfonamides 2 and polyfluoroalkanesulfonamides 3 derivatives were synthesized and characterized by (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, (19)F NMR, IR and HRMS. Inhibition effects of these compounds on bovine carbonic anhydrase (bCA) and human carbonic anhydrase isoenzyme II (hCA) have been investigated. Comparing IC(50) values of the synthesized molecules 1, 2 and 3, it has been found that compound 2b is a more potent inhibitor than acetazolamide on hCA. Moreover 2b does not present cellular toxicity on sheep red globules.
