The interaction of five human carbonic anhydrase (hCA, EC 4.2.1.1) isozymes, that is, hCA I, II, IV, V, and IX with a small library of phosphonic acids/organic phosphates, including methylphosphonic acid, MPA; phenylphosphonic acid, PPA; N-(phosphonoacetyl)-L-aspartic acid, PALA, methylene diphosphonic acid MDPA, the O-phosphates of serine (Ser-OP) and threonine (Thr-OP) as well as the antiviral phosphonate foscarnet has been studied. hCA I was activated by all these compounds, with the best activators being MPA and PPA (K(A)s of 0.10-1.20 mu M). MPA and PPA were on the other hand nanomolar inhibitors of hCA II (K(1)s of 98-99 nM). PALA showed an affinity of 7.8 mu M, whereas the other compounds were weak, millimolar inhibitors of this isozyme. The best hCA IV inhibitors were PALA (79 nM) and PPA (5.4 mu M), whereas the other compounds showed K(1)s in the range of 0.31-5.34 mM. The mitochondrial isozyme was weakly inhibited by all these compounds (K(1)s in the range of 0.09-41.7 mM), similarly to the transmembrane, tumor-associated isozyme (K(1)s in the range of 0.86-2.25 mM). Thus, phosphonates may lead to CA inhibitors with selectivity against two physiologically relevant isozymes, the cytosolic hCA 11 or the membrane-bound hCA IV. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd.
