Abstract

Potent sulfonamide inhibitors of the zinc enzyme carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2. 1.1), derivatives of 1, 3, 4-thiadiazole-2-sulfonamide, possessing inhibition constants in the range of 10–8–10–9 M against isozymes II and IV, were shown to act as efficient in vitro tumour cell growth inhibitors with GI50 (molarity of inhibitor producing a 50% inhibition of tumour cell growth) values typically in the range of 0.1–30 μM against several leukaemia, non-small ...
