The sweeteners saccharin ( SAC ) and acesulfame K ( ACE ) recently entered the topic of anticancer human carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) inhibitors, as they showed to selectively inhibit the tumor-associated CAs IX/XII over ubiquitous CAs. A drug design strategy is here reported, which took SAC and ACE as leads and produced a series of 2 H -benzo[ e ][1,2,4]thiadiazin-3(4 H )-one-1,1-dioxides ( BTD ). Many derivatives showed greater potency ( K I s-CA IX 19.1-408.5 nM) and selectivity (II/IX SI 2-76) than the leads ( K I s-CA IX 103, 2400 nM; II/IX-SI 56, >4) against CA IX/XII over off-target isoforms. A thorough X-ray crystallographic study depicted their binding mode to both CA II and IX-mimic. The most representative BTDs were characterized in vitro for their antitumor activity against A549, PC-3, and HCT-116 cancer cell lines both in normoxia and hypoxia. The two most effective compounds were assayed for their effect on several apoptosis markers, identifying promising leads for the development of new anticancer drugs.
