Cancers, Vol. 15, Pages 5225: Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors Induce Ferroptosis through Inhibition of AKT/FTH1 Signaling in Ewing Sarcoma Tumor Cells
roeder Ilya V. Ulasov Ewing sarcoma (ES) is one of the most frequent types of malignant tumors among children. The active metabolic state of ES cells presents a new potential target for therapeutic interventions. As a primary regulator of cellular homeostasis, carbonic anhydrases (CAs; EC 4.2.1.1) have emerged as promising molecular targets for the development of anticancer drugs. Within the present study, we tested the commercial drug acetazolamide and our previously discovered inhibitors to target the CAII isoform, which was overexpressed and positively correlated with ES patient relapse. We employed molecular biol...

RCT Abstract - Acetazolamide to prevent impending altitude-related adverse health effects in COPD patients. RCT
Conclusion: In lowlanders with COPD, travelling to 3100m, SSM-guided preventive acetazolamide therapy reduced the incidence of ARAHE. This novel approach may allow to restrict the use of preventive acetazolamide therapy to patients at risk. (Source: European Respiratory Journal)

Cortical oxygen extraction fraction using quantitative BOLD MRI and cerebral blood flow during vasodilation
Conclusion: Quantitative BOLD modeling can reliably measure OEF across multiple physiological conditions and captures vascular changes with higher sensitivity than R2’ values. The inverse correlation between OEF and CBF across regions in DMN, suggests that these two measurements, in response to ACZ vasodilation, are reliable indicators of tissue health in this healthy cohort.

Effects of carbonic anhydrase activity on the excitability of hippocampal axons during high-frequency firing
Brain Res. 2023 Sep 23:148604. doi: 10.1016/j.brainres.2023.148604. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEpileptic activity is known to cause a lowering of intraneuronal pH, which has been suggested to serve as a feedback signal to terminate seizures. The mechanism of such signaling is unclear, but likely involves an altered function of several types of ligand- and voltage-gated channels in postsynaptic membranes caused by increasing cytosolic and extracellular [H+]. In addition, axonal conduction properties may be altered by endogenous pH signals, but this has not been investigated. In the present study, we have recorded the axo...

Para-toluenesulfonamide, a novel potent carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, improves hypoxia-induced metastatic breast cancer cell viability and prevents resistance to αPD-1 therapy in triple-negative breast cancer
This study aimed to investigate the involvement of CA9 in the anti-tumor activity of para-toluenesulfonamide (PTS) and elucidate its mechanism of action against breast cancer both in vitro and in vivo. MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells were treated with PTS or subjected to hypoxic conditions using cobalt chloride (CoCl2), with acetazolamide serving as a positive control. Additionally, 4T1 breast cancer cell allograft mice were co-treated with PTS and α-programmed cell death 1 (αPD-1) monoclonal antibody for one month. The results demonstrated that PTS effectively reduced cell viability and reversed migration abili...

Acetazolamide for metabolic alkalosis complicating respiratory failure with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or obesity hypoventilation syndrome: a systematic review
Conclusion Acetazolamide may have little impact on respiratory failure with metabolic alkalosis in patients with chronic respiratory diseases. However, clinically significant benefits or harms are unable to be excluded, and larger trials are required. PROSPERO registration number CRD42021278757. (Source: Thorax)
