TLDR
Detailed structural characterization of all CAI classes may lead to further advances in the field with potential therapeutic implications in the management of indications including neuropathic pain, cerebral ischemia, arthritis and tumor imaging.
Abstract
Introduction: The enzyme carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4211) is found in numerous organisms across the tree of life, with seven distinct classes known to date CA inhibition can be exploited for th

Targeting Tumor Microenvironment for Cancer Therapy.

TL;DR: In this article, a big effort has been made to develop new therapeutic strategies towards a more efficient targeting of tumor microenvironment (TME) components, extending from conventional therapeutics, to combined therapies and nanomedicines; and the development of models that accurately resemble the TME for bench investigations.

Carbonic anhydrases: novel therapeutic applications for inhibitors and activators

TL;DR: The biological rationale for the novel uses of inhibitors or activators of CA activity in multiple diseases is discussed, and progress in the development of specific modulators of the relevant CA isoforms is highlighted, some of which are now being evaluated in clinical trials.

The Carbon Dioxide Hydration Activity of Carbonic Anhydrase I. STOP-FLOW KINETIC STUDIES ON THE NATIVE HUMAN ISOENZYMES B AND C

TL;DR: The present kinetic results are interpreted as representing a great specificity of carbonic anhydrase for the binding of its substrate CO2, and it is proposed that the enzyme-catalyzed hydration of CO2 requires, not only water activation by a basic group, but also charge neutralization in the transition state by an electron acceptor function.

Interfering with pH regulation in tumours as a therapeutic strategy

TL;DR: Key pH regulators in tumour cells include: isoforms 2, 9 and 12 of carbonic anhydrase, isoforms of anion exchangers, Na+/HCO3− co-transporters, Na+./H+ exchanger, monocarboxylate transporters and the vacuolar ATPase.
