Synthesis, characterization and biological activity evaluation of novel naphthalenylmethylen hydrazine derivatives as carbonic anhydrase inhibitors

In the current study some derivatives of naphthalenylmethylen hydrazine were synthesized and possible in vitro hCA I and II enzymes inhibition effects were investigated. The designed compounds were synthesized by condensation of phenylhydrazine with 1-naphthaldehyde or 6-methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde and eight compounds (1a-h) were obtained. The novel Schiff bases derivatives (compounds 1a-1h) were effective inhibitors of the cytosolic carbonic...
