Abstract

The combination of a β-adrenergic receptors (AR) blocker and a carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) inhibitor in eye drops formulations is one of the most clinically used treatment for glaucoma. A novel approach consisting of single-molecule, multitargeted compounds for the treatment of glaucoma is proposed here by designing compounds which concomitantly interact with the β-adrenergic and CA targets. Most derivatives of the two series of benzenesulfonamides incorporating 2-hydroxypropylamine moieties reported here exhibited striking efficacy against the target hCA II and XII, whereas a subset of compounds also showed significant modulation of β1- and β2-ARs. X-ray crystallography studies provided rationale for the observed hCA inhibition. The best dual-agents decreased IOP more effectively than clinically used dorzolamide, timolol, and the combination of them in an animal model of glaucoma. The reported evidence supports the proof-of-concept of β-ARs blocker-CAI hybrids for antiglaucoma therapy with an innovative mechanism of action.
