6-Substituted Triazolyl Benzoxaboroles as Selective Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors: In Silico Design, Synthesis, and X-ray Crystallography
Benzoxaborole is currently a scaffold of great relevance in medicinal chemistry. In 2016, it was reported to be a new and valuable chemotype for designing carbonic anhydrase (CA) inhibitors. Herein, using an in silico design, we report the synthesis and characterization of substituted 6-(1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)benzoxaboroles. 6-Azidobenzoxaborole was described for the first time as a molecular platform to prepare libraries of inhibitors by a copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition via a click chemistry strategy. With inhibition constants below 30 nM, some derivatives, such as compound 20, showed efficacy as selective hCA VII and IX inhibitors. The design hypothesis was validated by crystallographic investigation on the hCA II/20 adduct, which provided explanations over the different inhibition behavior observed against the five evaluated hCA isoforms. Overall, this study identified 20 as a new promising lead compound to develop novel anticancer agents targeting the tumor-associated hCA IX but also potent neuropathic pain relievers targeting hCA VII.
