ABSTRACT Recently, a rising interest in boronic acids and their derivatives was recorded the Medicinal Chemistry field due to high versatility broad applicability as bioactive compounds several diseases, including cancer microbial infections. The ability of acid moieties bind zinc ions first hypothesized by inhibitory activity bortezomib, boron‐containing protease inhibitor, on different isoforms Carbonic Anhydrase (CA, EC: 4.2.1.1) enzyme family then assessed through X‐ray crystallographic studies benzoxaboroles complex with hCA II. These findings, along overexpression IX XII hypoxic and, particular, breast cancer, drove us explore chemical space around phenylboronic generating focused library 16 (1–4a–d) decorated alkyl sulfonyl hydrazones. were subjected stopped flow‐based inhibition assays panel hCAs, tumor‐associated isoforms, revealing low micromolar constants ( K I s) some cases. However, antiproliferative conducted human triple‐negative cell line showed lack at tested concentrations.
