The β-carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) from Leishmania spp. (LdcCA) is effectively inhibited by aromatic/heterocyclic sulphonamides, in the low nanomolar range, but no in vitro antileishmanial activity was detected for such compounds. We formulated some of these sulphonamides as nanoemulsions (NE...
