Cobalt Bis(dicarbollide) Alkylsulfonamides: Potent and Highly Selective Inhibitors of Tumor Specific Carbonic Anhydrase IX

Chempluschem. 2021 Mar;86(3):351. doi: 10.1002/cplu.202000717. Epub 2020 Dec 28.

Abstract

Invited for this month's cover is a collaboration from three institutes from the Czech Academy of Sciences: Institute of Inorganic Chemistry, Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry, and Institute of Molecular Genetics, and the University of Pardubice. The cover picture shows a family of potent and selective CA IX inhibitors that combines the structural motif of a bulky inorganic cobalt bis(dicarbollide) polyhedral ion with a propylsulfonamido anchor group.
