Carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX) has been identified as a biomarker and drug target for several malignant tumors due to its role in cancer cell growth and proliferation. Simple cyclic sulfonamides, like saccharin (SAC), have shown up to a 60-fold selectivity towards CA IX over other ubiquitous CA isoforms, with greater selectivity obtained applying the “tail-approach” to derivatize SAC with a methylene triazole linker that connected to a “tail” beta glucoside. These modifications of SAC led to an increased selectivity of more than 1000-fold towards CA IX, whereas clinically available CA inhibitors show little to no isoform selectivity. As part of our interest in the development of new CA inhibitors, we found the existing synthetic protocol, which relies on a N-tert-butyl saccharin intermediate, to be problematic in the final deprotection steps. We therefore describe an alternative approach to the synthesis of these compounds featuring a gentle “one pot” deprotection/cyclization as the final synthetic step, and report new galactosyl and glucosyl conjugates with low to mid nM inhibition of CA IX.

The degradation issue of sulfonylurea (SU) has become one of the biggest challenges that hamper the development and application of this class of herbicides, especially in the alkaline soils of northern China. On the basis of the previous discovery that some substituents on the fifth position of the benzene ring in Chlorsulfuron could hasten its degradation rate, apparently in acidic soil, this work on Metsulfuron-methyl showed more convincing results. Two novel compounds (I-1 and I-2) were designed and synthesized, and they still retained potent herbicidal activity in tests against both dicotyledons and monocotyledons. The half-lives of degradation (DT50) assay revealed that I-1 showed an accelerated degradation rate in acidic soil (pH 5.59). Moreover, we delighted to find that the degradation rate of I-1 was 9-10-fold faster than that of Metsulfuron-methyl and Chlorsulfuron when in alkaline soil (pH 8.46), which has more practical value. This research suggests that a modified structure that has potent herbicidal activity as well as accelerated degradation rate could be realized and this approach may provide a way to improve the residue problem of SUs in farmlands with alkaline soil.
