A series of 4-substituted-spinaceamine (4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-imidazolo[4,5-c]pyridine) were prepared from histamine and aromatic aldehydes Schiff bases, and investigated as activators of four human (h) carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) isoforms, the cytosolic hCA I, II and VII, and the membrane-associated hCA IV. All isoforms were effectively activated by the new derivatives, and the nature of the moiety in position 4 of the bicyclic system was the factor influencing activation properties against all isoforms. For hCA I, these compounds showed KAs in the range of 2.52–21.5 μM, the most effective activator being 4-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-spinaceamine. For hCA II the activation constants ranged between 0.60 and 17.2 μM, with 4-(2,3,5,6-tetrafluorophenyl)- spinaceamine the best activator. Affinity for hCA IV was in the range of 0.52–63.8 μM, and the same compound as for hCA II was the most effective activator. The most sensitive isoform for activation was the brain-associated hCA VII, for which KAs in the range of 82 nM–4.26 μM were observed. Effective hCA VII activators were the (2-bromophenyl)-, 2,3,5,6-tetrafluorophenyl- and furyl-substituted spineaceamines (KAs of 82–95 nM). As CA activators may have pharmacologic applications in various fields, this work provides interesting derivatives for further studies.
