- the present disclosure relates to sulfonamides and in particular to new derivatives of 4- hydrazineylbenzenesulfonamides and 4-(aminooxy)benzenesulfonamides.
- compositions comprising said sulfonamides, to said sulfonamides for use as a medicament, to said sulfonamides for use in methods for the treatment or prevention of an ocular disease or condition, or idiopathic intracranial hypertension, in particular for the treatment of glaucoma and macular edema (ME), and to a method for the preparation of said compounds.
- CAIs Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors
- COAIs are a class of drugs that inhibit the activity of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase. Carbonic anhydrase plays a role in many physiological processes, including fluid and electrolyte balance, acid-base balance, and cell signaling.
- C AIs are used to treat a variety of ocular diseases and conditions, including glaucoma, idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), and macular edema (ME).
- IIH idiopathic intracranial hypertension
- ME macular edema
- aqueous humor the fluid that fills the front of the eye
- IOP intraocular pressure
- Aqueous humor is constantly produced and drained from the eye to maintain a normal intraocular pressure (IOP). If the drainage of aqueous humor is impaired, IOP can increase, leading to glaucoma.
- CAIs reduce the production of aqueous humor, thereby lowering IOP. This makes them a valuable treatment for glaucoma.
- CAIs can be used as monotherapy or in combination with other glaucoma medications. In addition to their use in glaucoma, CAIs are also used to treat IIH and ME.
- IIH is a condition in which the pressure in the cerebrospinal fluid is elevated. This can cause headaches, vision problems, and other symptoms.
- CAIs are used to lower the pressure in the cerebrospinal fluid and improve symptoms in patients with IIH.
- ME is a condition in which fluid accumulates in the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. This can cause blurred vision, distortion, and other vision problems.
- CAIs are used to reduce fluid accumulation in the retina and improve vision in patients with ME.
- CAIs are available in both topical and oral formulations.
- Topical CAIs are applied directly to the eye in the form of drops or ointments. Oral CAIs are taken by mouth and are more effective at lowering IOP than topical CAIs.
- Specific uses of CAIs in ocular diseases and conditions include: 1 .
- Glaucoma CAIs are a first-line treatment for most types of glaucoma. They are particularly effective in patients with chronic open-angle glaucoma, the most common type of glaucoma.
- CAIs can also be used to treat other types of glaucoma, such as (acute) angle-closure glaucoma, open angle glaucoma, pediatric glaucoma and pseudoexfoliative glaucoma. 2.
- Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension CAIs are the mainstay treatment for IIH. They are effective in lowering the pressure in the cerebrospinal fluid and improving symptoms in most patients with IIH. 3 .
- Macular Edema CAIs are used to treat ME secondary to a variety of causes, including diabetes, retinal vein occlusion, and uveitis.
- CAIs are effective in reducing fluid accumulation in the retina and improving vision in most patients with ME.
- CAIs are a valuable class of medications for the treatment of a variety of ocular diseases. They are effective in lowering IOP, reducing fluid accumulation in the retina, and improving symptoms in patients with glaucoma, IIH, and ME.

- T he invention is based on the realization that the compounds are novel melanin-binding CAI inhibitors that reduce IOP and may be used for the treatment or prevention of glaucoma and related ocular diseases, including IIH, and ME.
- the inhibitors apply a novel hybrid design, connecting a CAI moiety to a melanin-binding aromatic or heteroaromatic moiety through a hydrazone or oxime linker.
- the combination of melanin-binding aromatic or heteroaromatic moiety and hydrazone/oxime linker may allow for a tuning of drug action over very wide range in the acidic pH of the cellular melanosomes.
