In Carbonic anhydrase II inhibition the current account, a hybrid pharmacophore approach was employed to design sulfonamide, amide and amine Synthesis containing new series of potent carbonic anhydrase II inhibitors. The aromatic fragment associated with phar- Hybrid pharmacophore macophore was altered suitably in order to find effective inhibitors of CA-II. All the derivatives 4a-4m showed Binding analysis better inhibition compared to the standard acetazolamide. In particular, compound 4l exhibited significant Chemo-informatics inhibition with IC50 value of 0.01796 ± 0.00036 µM. The chemo-informatics analysis justified that all the de- signed compounds possess < 10 HBA and < 5 HBD. The ligands-protein binding analyses showed that 4l con- fined in the active binding pocket with three hydrogen bonds observed with His63, Asn66 and Thr197 residues. 1.
