For several decades a tantalizing goal for the treatment of primary open-angle glaucoma has been the development of a topically active carbonic anhydrase inhibitor. Recent results from several research groups indicate that considerable progress has been made toward this objective. In this report, we present the design and synthesis of (hydroxyalkyl)sulfonyl-substituted benzene- and thiophenesulfonamides. These compounds exhibit inhibition of carbonic anhydrase II in the nanomolar range and lower intraocular pressure in the alpha-chymotrypsinized rabbit model of ocular hypertension after topical instillation.

D002918 Chymotrypsin A serine endopeptidase secreted by the pancreas as its zymogen, CHYMOTRYPSINOGEN and carried in the pancreatic juice to the duodenum where it is activated by TRYPSIN. It selectively cleaves aromatic amino acids on the carboxyl side. Alpha-Chymotrypsin Choay,Alphacutanée,Avazyme
D005978 Glutathione A tripeptide with many roles in cells. It conjugates to drugs to make them more soluble for excretion, is a cofactor for some enzymes, is involved in protein disulfide bond rearrangement and reduces peroxides. Reduced Glutathione,gamma-L-Glu-L-Cys-Gly,gamma-L-Glutamyl-L-Cysteinylglycine,Glutathione, Reduced,gamma L Glu L Cys Gly,gamma L Glutamyl L Cysteinylglycine
D000096926 Benzenesulfonamides A group of compounds that contain sulfonamide group S-linked to a benzene ring. Many benzenesulfonamide derivatives are pharmaceuticals (e.g., BOSENTAN; SULFAPYRIDINE; and SULFADIAZINE; CELECOXIB) as their sulfonamide moiety target various enzymes (e.g., CARBONIC ANHYDRASES; ACETYLCHOLINESTERASE; BUTYRYLCHOLINESTERASE; and CYCLOOXYNENASE 2).

D000287 Administration, Topical The application of drug preparations to the surfaces of the body, especially the skin (ADMINISTRATION, CUTANEOUS) or mucous membranes. This method of treatment is used to avoid systemic side effects when high doses are required at a localized area or as an alternative systemic administration route, to avoid hepatic processing for example.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D013329 Structure-Activity Relationship The relationship between the chemical structure of a compound and its biological or pharmacological activity. Compounds are often classed together because they have structural characteristics in common including shape, size, stereochemical arrangement, and distribution of functional groups. Relationship, Structure-Activity,Relationships, Structure-Activity,Structure Activity Relationship,Structure-Activity Relationships
