N-[4-(aminosulfonyl)phenyl]-2-mercaptobenzamide

N-[4-(aminosulfonyl)phenyl]-2-mercaptobenzamide is an experimental small molecule belonging to the benzanilide class, with a molecular formula of C13H12N2O3S2 and a molecular weight of approximately 308.4 g/mol[1][2]. It acts as an inhibitor of several carbonic anhydrase isoforms, specifically carbonic anhydrase 1, 2, and 9[2][3]. Carbonic anhydrases are zinc-containing enzymes involved in the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide; their inhibition can affect pH regulation and fluid balance in tissues. This compound has been investigated for its potential pharmacological actions but is not approved for any indication. Some sources also mention possible antimicrobial and antioxidant properties[10].
