The reaction mechanism of the carbonic anhydrase-mediated hydrolysis of sulfocoumarins to sulfonic acids has been investigated on an enzyme cluster model using the B3LYP hybrid density functional theory (DFT) and the QST procedure for the Transition State (TS) search. A multistep process was highlighted, with the rate-determining step identified in the initial dual nucleophilic/acidic attack of the zinc-bound hydroxide ion to the sulfocoumarin sulfur atom and to the C3=C4 double bond. The reported multi-step process, combined to SAR analysis on a new set of derivatives, highlighted unprecedented mechanistic aspects of the CA-mediated prodrug activation, which in turn possess relevant consequences to the isoforms-selective inhibition profiles reported by such a class of compounds.

A simple and reproducible procedure for the synthesis of bioisosteres of coumarin - 1,2-benzoxathiine 2,2-dioxide is presented. The developed method is based on the intramolecular aldol cyclization of derivatives of mesylsalicyl aldehydes in the presence
