| Summary: | Tendinopathy is often described as a complex and multifactorial condition which affects tendons. Tendon disorders are marked by a reduction in mechanical function, accompanied by pain and swelling. At the molecular level, tendinopathy leads to oxidative stress-driven inflammation, increased cell death, disruption of extracellular matrix balance, abnormal growth of capillaries and arteries, and degeneration of collagen formation. Here, we report an innovative approach to modulate oxidative stress during tendinopathy based on sulfonamide-based Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors—carbon monoxide releasing molecules (CAI–CORMs) hybrids endowed with dual carbon monoxide (CO) releasing activity and carbonic anhydrase (CA) inhibition. The synthesised compounds have been studied in a model of human Achilles tendon-derived cells stimulated by H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>. Among the library, compound <b>1c</b> and, to a greater extent, compound <b>1a</b>, showed to be extremely effective in terms of restoration of cell metabolic activity and cell proliferation due to their capacity to release CO and inhibit the CA isoforms involved in inflammatory processes in the nanomolar range. Moreover, <b>1a</b> can restore collagen type 1 secretion under pro-oxidant conditions. |
