A series of O-acyl derivatives of 6-hydroxybenzothiazole-2-sulfonamide (4, L-643,799) was prepared and the potential utility of each series member as a topically active inhibitor of ocular carbonic anhydrase was determined. In vitro studies showed these esters to be substrates for ocular esterases which liberate 4 during corneal translocation. The most interesting series member, 2-sulfamoyl-6-benzothiazolyl 2,2-dimethylpropionate (22, L-645,151), acting as a prodrug form of 4, was found to enhance delivery through the isolated albino rabbit cornea by 40-fold when compared to the parent phenol 4. Studies in rabbits revealed that 22 is a potent topically active ocular hypotensive carbonic anhydrase inhibitor.

D002621 Chemistry A basic science concerned with the composition, structure, and properties of matter; and the reactions that occur between substances and the associated energy exchange.
D003315 Cornea The transparent anterior portion of the fibrous coat of the eye consisting of five layers: stratified squamous CORNEAL EPITHELIUM; BOWMAN MEMBRANE; CORNEAL STROMA; DESCEMET MEMBRANE; and mesenchymal CORNEAL ENDOTHELIUM. It serves as the first refracting medium of the eye. It is structurally continuous with the SCLERA, avascular, receiving its nourishment by permeation through spaces between the lamellae, and is innervated by the ophthalmic division of the TRIGEMINAL NERVE via the ciliary nerves and those of the surrounding conjunctiva which together form plexuses.
