Management of glaucoma in pregnancy: risks or choices, a dilemma? [PDF]
The treatment of glaucoma in and around pregnancy offers the unique challenge of balancing the risk of vision loss to the mother as against the potential harm to the fetus or newborn. Most anti-glaucoma drugs (i.e. beta-blockers, prostaglandin analogues,

Mitochondrial proteomic profiling reveals increased carbonic anhydrase II in aging and neurodegeneration [PDF]
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors are used to treat glaucoma and cancers. Carbonic anhydrases perform a crucial role in the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into bicarbonate and protons.

Dithiocarbamates effectively inhibit the α-carbonic anhydrase from Neisseria gonorrhoeae
Recently, inorganic anions and sulphonamides, two of the main classes of zinc-binding carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (CAIs), were investigated for inhibition of the α-class carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) from Neisseria gonorrhoeae, NgCA.

Acetazolamide in the treatment of acute mania - A case report [PDF]
Several antiepileptic drugs are also being used in affective disorders. There are some hints that also the carbonic anhydrase inhibitor acetazolamide might be useful in the treatment of bipolar affective disorder.

In search of selective carbonic anhydrase (CA) IX inhibitors endowed with apoptotic inducing properties, we designed and synthesised two subsets of 4- and 3-(5-aryl-(4-phenylsulphonyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)benzenesulphonamides.

The structure of a tetrameric α-carbonic anhydrase fromThermovibrio ammonificansreveals a core formed around intermolecular disulfides that contribute to its thermostability [PDF]
Carbonic anhydrase enzymes catalyse the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide to bicarbonate. A thermophilic Thermovibrio ammonificans α-carbonic anhydrase (TaCA) has been expressed in Escherichia coli and structurally and biochemically characterized ...

Characterization of the first beta-class carbonic anhydrase from an arthropod (Drosophila melanogaster) and phylogenetic analysis of beta-class carbonic anhydrases in invertebrates [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The beta-carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) enzymes have been reported in a variety of organisms, but their existence in animals has been unclear.

Isatin: a privileged scaffold for the design of carbonic anhydrase inhibitors
The isatin scaffold is the constitutive fragment of several natural and synthetic bioactive molecules. Albeit several benzene sulphonamide-based carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (CAIs) have been reported, only recently isatin benzene sulphonamides have been

Background Metabolic alkalosis is common in patients with respiratory failure and may delay weaning in mechanically ventilated patients. Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors block renal bicarbonate reabsorption, and thus reverse metabolic alkalosis.

First episode psychotic disorder possibly associated with acetazolamide in a male adolescent with congenital glaucoma [PDF]
Primer congenital glaucoma is an uncommon ophthalmological disease manifesting at birth and accounting for 0.01-0.04% of total blindness. Acetozalamide, a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor is one of the options in the medical treatment of glaucoma and acute ...
