A hallmark of CA inhibition is the complexation of the catalytic zinc cation in the active site. Human (h) CA isoforms belonging to different families are implicated in a wide range of diseases and of very high interest for therapeutic intervention. Given the conserved catalytic mechanisms and high similarity of many hCA isoforms, a major challenge for CA-based therapy is achieving inhibitor selectivity for hCA isoforms that are associated with specific pathologies over other widely distributed isoforms such as hCA I or hCA II that are of critical relevance for the integrity of many physiological processes. To address this challenge, we have attempted to predict compounds that are selective for isoform hCA IX, which is a tumor-associated protein and implicated in metastasis, over hCA II on the basis of a carefully curated data set of selective and nonselective inhibitors. Machine learning achieved surprisingly high accuracy in predicting hCA IX-selective inhibitors. The results were further investigated, and compound features determining successful predictions were identified. These features were then studied on the basis of X-ray structures of hCA isoform-inhibitor complexes and found to include substructures that explain compound selectivity. Our findings lend credence to selectivity predictions and indicate that the machine learning models derived herein have considerable potential to aid in the identification of new hCA IX-selective compounds.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1021\/acsomega.0c06153","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,26]],"date-time":"2021-01-26T12:39:52Z","timestamp":1611664792000},"page":"4080-4089","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Predicting Isoform-Selective Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors\nvia Machine Learning and Rationalizing Structural Features Important\nfor Selectivity"],"prefix":"10.1021","volume":"6","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1959-5839","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Salvatore","family":"Galati","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universita\u0308t , , Friedrich-Hirzebruch-Allee 6 , ,","place":["Bonn, Germany, D-53115"]},{"name":"University of Pisa , , ,","place":["Pisa, Italy, 56126"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dimitar","family":"Yonchev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universita\u0308t , , Friedrich-Hirzebruch-Allee 6 , ,","place":["Bonn, Germany, D-53115"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Raquel","family":"Rodri\u0301guez-Pe\u0301rez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universita\u0308t , , Friedrich-Hirzebruch-Allee 6 , ,","place":["Bonn, Germany, D-53115"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3931-9516","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Martin","family":"Vogt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universita\u0308t , , Friedrich-Hirzebruch-Allee 6 , ,","place":["Bonn, Germany, D-53115"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6205-4069","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Tiziano","family":"Tuccinardi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Pisa , , ,","place":["Pisa, Italy, 56126"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0557-5714","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ju\u0308rgen","family":"Bajorath","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universita\u0308t , , Friedrich-Hirzebruch-Allee 6 , ,","place":["Bonn, Germany, D-53115"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"316","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026090210170368200_cit1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1008","DOI":"10.3390\/catal10091008","article-title":"Carbonic\nAnhydrases: Versatile and\nUseful Biocatalysts in Chemistry and Biochemistry","volume":"10","author":"Angeli","year":"2020","journal-title":"Catalysts"},{"key":"2026090210170368200_cit2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2485","DOI":"10.1002\/med.21713","article-title":"Progress\nin the Development of Human\nCarbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors and Their Pharmacological Applications:\nWhere Are We Today?","volume":"40","author":"Mishra","year":"2020","journal-title":"Med.
