Acetazolamide sodium is a carbonic anhydrase (CA) IX inhibitor with an IC₅₀ of 30 nM for hCA IX. Acetazolamide sodium has diuretic, antihypertensive and anti-gonococcal activities^[4][5][6].

Acetazolamide also inhibits hCA II with an IC₅₀ of 130 nM.
Acetazolamide (Ace) is a small heteroaromatic sulfonamide that binds to various carbonic anhydrases with high affinity, acting as a carbonic anhydrase (CA) inhibitor.
Compared with the control group, the high Acetazolamide concentration (AceH, 50 nM), Cisplatin (Cis; 1 µg/mL) and Cis combined with the low Acetazolamide concentration (AceL, 10 nM) treatments significantly reduces viability of Hep-2 cells.
Treatment with the Acetazolamide/Cis combination significantly increases the expression levels of P53, as both AceL+Cis and AceH+Cis treatments result in significantly increased P53 protein expression levels compared with the control group. The Ace/Cis combination treatment significantly reduces the bcl-2/bax expression ratio, and increases the expression of caspase-3 protein, compared with the control group. AceL, AceH, Cis and AceL+Cis treatments significantly reduce the bcl-2/bax ratio compared with the control group.
Combined Ace and Cis treatment effectively promotes apoptosis in Hep-2 cells.
Combined treatment with Ace/Cis markedly decreases the expression of AQP1 mRNA in Hep-2 cells. Both AceH and AceL+Cis treatments decrease the expression of aquaporin-1 (AQP1) mRNA in Hep-2 cells compared with the control group.
