CA (carbonic anhydrase) catalyses the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide into bicarbonate, and at least 14 isoforms have been identified in vertebrates. The role of CA type II in maintaining the fluid and pH balance has made it an attractive drug target for the treatment of glaucoma and cancer. 667-Coumate is a potent inhibitor of the novel oncology target steroid sulphatase and is currently in Phase 1 clinical trials for hormone-dependent breast cancer. It also inhibits CA II in vitro. In the present study, CA II was crystallized with 667-coumate and the structure was determined by X-ray crystallography at 1.95 Å (1 Å=0.1 nm) resolution. The structure reported here is the first for an inhibitor based on a coumarin ring and shows ligation of the sulphamate group to the active-site zinc at 2.15 Å through a nitrogen anion. The first two rings of the coumarin moiety are bound within the hydrophobic binding site of CA II. Important residues contributing to binding include Val-121, Phe-131, Val-135, Leu-141, Leu-198 and Pro-202. The third seven-membered ring is more mobile and is located in the channel leading to the surface of the enzyme. Pharmacokinetic studies show enhanced stability of 667-coumate in vivo and this has been ascribed to binding of CA II in erythrocytes. This result provides a structural basis for the stabilization and long half-life of 667-coumate in blood compared with its rapid disappearance in plasma, and suggests that reversible binding of inhibitors to CA may be a general method of delivering this type of labile drug.

AbstractSome Brucella isolates are known to require an increased concentration of CO2 for growth, especially in the case of primary cultures obtained directly from infected animals. Moreover, the different Brucella species and biovars show a characteristic pattern of CO2 requirement, and this trait has been included among the routine typing tests used for species and biovar differentiation. By comparing the differences in gene content among different CO2-dependent and CO2-independent Brucella strains we have confirmed that carbonic anhydrase II (CA II), is the enzyme responsible for this phenotype in all the Brucella strains tested. Brucella species contain two carbonic anhydrases of the β family, CA I and CA II; genetic polymorphisms exist for both of them in different isolates, but only those putatively affecting the activity of CA II correlate with the CO2 requirement of the corresponding isolate. Analysis of these polymorphisms does not allow the determination of CA I functionality, while the polymorphisms in CA II consist of small deletions that cause a frameshift that changes the C-terminus of the protein, probably affecting its dimerization status, essential for the activity.CO2-independent mutants arise easily in vitro, although with a low frequency ranging from 10−6 to 10−10 depending on the strain. These mutants carry compensatory mutations that produce a full length CA II. At the same time, no change was observed in the sequence coding for CA I. A competitive index assay designed to evaluate the fitness of a CO2-dependent strain compared to its corresponding CO2-independent strain revealed that while there is no significant difference when the bacteria are grown in culture plates, growth in vivo in a mouse model of infection provides a significant advantage to the CO2-dependent strain. This could explain why some Brucella isolates are CO2-dependent in primary isolation. The polymorphism described here also allows the in silico determination of the CO2 requirement status of any Brucella strain.

Abstract Purpose Hypoxic microenvironment plays a vital role in myocardial ischemia injury, generally leading to the resistance of chemotherapeutic drugs. This induces an intriguing study on mechanism exploration and prodrug design to overcome the hypoxia induced drug resistance.Methods In this study, we hypothesized that the overexpression of carbonic anhydrase 9 (CAIX) in myocardial cells is closely related to the drug resistance. Herein, bioinformatics analysis, gene knockdown and overexpression assay certificated the correlation between CAIX overexpression and hypoxia. An original aspirin-containing CAIX inhibitor AcAs has been developed.Results Based on the downregulation of CAIX level, both in vitro and in vivo, AcAs can overcome the acquired resistance, and more effectively attenuate myocardial ischemia and hypoxia injury than that of aspirin. CAIX inhibitor is believed to recover the extracellular pH value so as to ensure the stable effect of aspirin.Conclusion Results indicate great potential of CAIX inhibitor for further application in myocardial hypoxia injury therapy.

During chick embryonic development carbonic anhydrase (CA) expression of erythrocytes is kept at a very low level until the last week of incubation (i.e., up to day 14). We have previously obtained evidence that hypoxia is the physiological stimulus for rapid onset of CA synthesis before hatching. Looking for putative signals we have carried out in vitro incubations of embryonic erythrocytes, screening a large number of hormones and second messengers, which were all ineffective, with the exception of the A1 agonist N6-phenylisopropyladenosine (adenosine had no effect). However, incubation with embryonic plasma (10%) from embryos greater than 6 days caused a 10-fold increase of the CA activity during 24 h. This increase was not observed when the incubation was carried out with the addition of actinomycin D, cycloheximide, aluminum fluoride, pertussis toxin, or heat-inactivated plasma. Mammalian plasma had no effect on CA activity. Filtration experiments show that the molecular mass of the factor is less than 2,000 Da. We conclude that embryonic plasma contains a heat-labile factor which stimulates CA synthesis via activation of transcription and whose receptor is coupled to a pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein. In vivo the action of the plasma factor is suppressed as long as blood Po2 is high, suggesting the presence of an inhibitor molecule whose synthesis is controlled by the Po2.
