Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) exist in all kingdoms of life. They are metalloenzymes, often containing zinc, that catalyze the interconversion bicarbonate and carbon dioxide-a ubiquitous reaction involved a variety cellular processes. So far, eight classes apparently evolutionary unrelated CAs present large diversity living organisms have been described. In this review, we focus on their roles photosynthetic microalgae. We describe essential role dioxide-concentrating mechanisms photosynthesis, regulation, as well less studied non-photosynthetic also discuss presence some microalgae, especially diatoms, cambialistic (i.e., can replace Zn by Co, Cd, or Fe) and, more recently, CA uses Mn metal cofactor, with potential ecological relevance aquatic environments where trace concentrations low. There has recent explosion knowledge about well-known enzyme exciting future opportunities to answer outstanding questions using range different approaches.

Introduction: Hypoxic tumors overexpress two carbonic anhydrases (CA, EC 4.2.1.1), CA IX and XII, involved in complex processes connected to tumorigenesis (pH regulation, metabolism, invasion, dissemination of the tumor). The biochemical rationale behind these is orchestrated by transcription factor hypoxia inducible 1 (HIF-1).Areas covered: XII have been validated as antitumor/antimetastatic drug targets may be used for imaging hypoxic tumors. Many inhibitors (CAIs) belonging sulfonamide, coumarin sulfocoumarin classes selectively inhibit isoforms. IX/XII growth primary formation metastases deplete cancer stem cell population, alone or combination with other agents. These are three beneficial antitumor mechanisms that make them unique among anticancer drugs available.Expert opinion: Indisulam entered clinical trials an sulfonamide; it progressed Phase II but was terminated 2016.

Benzothiazole (BTA) belongs to the heterocyclic class of bicyclic compounds. BTA derivatives possesses broad spectrum biological activities such as anticancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumour, antiviral, antibacterial, anti-proliferative, anti-diabetic, anti-convulsant, analgesic, anti-tubercular, antimalarial, anti-leishmanial, anti-histaminic and anti-fungal among others. The scaffolds showed a crucial role in inhibition metalloenzyme carbonic anhydrase (CA). In this review an extensive literature survey over last decade discloses mainly anticancer agents. Such compounds are effective against various types cancer cell lines through multitude mechanisms, some which poorly studied or understood. tumour associated CAs by is on other hand better investigated may serve leads for development agents hypoxic tumours.

Abstract Inhibition of carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) was clinically exploited for decades, as most modern diuretics were obtained considering lead molecule acetazolamide, the prototypical CA inhibitor (CAI). The discovery and characterization multiple human (hCA) isoforms, 15 which being known today, led to new applications their inhibitors. They include widely used antiglaucoma, antiepileptic antiobesity agents, antitumor drugs in clinical development, well management acute mountain sickness idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). Emerging roles several isoforms areas not generally connected these enzymes recently documented, such neuropathic pain, cerebral ischemia, rheumatoid arthritis, oxidative stress Alzheimer’s disease.
