Bile acid ainides (cholan-24-amides) of 5-substituted 1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-sulfonamide have been prepared from lithocholic, deoxycholic, cholic and dehydrocholic acids. Besides, the alcohol functional groups oil the cholane ring systems were protected with acetyl group. Amides of the protected cholanes of lithocholic and cholic acids were also synthesized. Later, inhibition effects of these compounds on human carbonic anhydrase isozymes (HCA-I and II) have been investigated in vitro. For the most active compounds, inhibition constants ranged froM 66 to 190nM for HCA-II with I-50 (molarity of inhibitor producing a 50% inhibition of CA activity). In addition, in vivo studies were performed for the synthesized compounds in Sprague-Dawley rats. The compounds (11 and 18) showed especially significant inhibition efficacy (p<0.001).
