brinzolamide brands

Molecular formula: C12H21N3O5S3

Brinzolamide is a highly specific, reversible, non-competitive inhibitor of carbonic anhydrases (CA), the enzymes catalyzing the reversible reaction of water and carbon dioxide (CO2) to form bicarbonate ions. Although there are 7 isoforms of CA in human tissues, brinzolamide has the highest affinity to CA II. Brinzolamide and its active metabolites were not found to displace any known ligands in vitro from their respective receptors or enzymes commonly involved in producing side effects or ancillary pharmacology, thus explaining brinzolamide's high order of safety.
