Complexes With Biologically Active Ligands. Part 4. Coordination Compounds of Chlorothiazide With Transition Metal Ions Behave as Strong Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors

Abstract

Complexes of the diuretic benzothiadiazine derivative chlorothiazide (6-chloro-7-sulfamoyl- 1,2,4-benzothiadiazine-1,1-dioxide) with V(IV); Fe(II); Co(II); Ni(II); Cu(II), Ag(I) and U(VI) were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, spectroscopic, thermogravimetric, magnetic and conductimetric measurements. The complexes behave as effective inhibitors for two isozymes (I and II) of carbonic anhydrase (CA).
