Lasamide, a Potent Human Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitor from the Market: Inhibition Profiling and Crystallographic Studies.

ABSTRACT: Lasamide is a synthetic precursor and a contaminant of the diuretic Furosemide manufacturing process and represents a highly valuable building block for fragment-based drug discovery approaches. We assessed the ability of Lasamide to inhibit in vitro the human-expressed Carbonic Anhydrases by means of the stopped-flow technique, and we assessed its binding modes within hCAs II and XII-mimic catalytic clefts by X-ray crystallography. Interestingly, an unprecedented crystal form for the hCA IX mimic H-tag is reported and discussed herein.
