Which of the following is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor?
Carbonic anhydrase is an enzyme which catalyses the reversible reaction H2O + CO2 - H2C03 Hence, Carbonic anhydrase functions in CO2 and HC03 transpo and in H+ ion secretion. Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors act by non-competitive but reversible inhibition of this enzyme. eg- tazolamide, dorzolamide and brinzolamide.
