RESUMEN
Patient information leaflets (PILs) differ across regulatory jurisdictions-its form and structure are dependent on the regulations it conforms to. Yet, physical or paper-based documents remain to be the most prevalent way of delivering important information to patients. As technology continues to enhance our daily activities, patients are increasingly utilizing digital platforms to facilitate access to relevant product information, hence questioning the continuous viability of physical PILs. This paper aims to present the growing importance of transitioning from print to screen via dynamic electronic product information, as a way of expanding access and utility of patient information. It provides considerations or reflection points for regulators when adopting digital platforms to ensure that stakeholders, especially patients, receive trusted and real-time information on available and approved medicinal products. We underscore these with examples and case studies from countries and businesses that have adopted or are transitioning to such platforms.

Sixteen 5-aryl-substituted isothiazol-3(2H)-one-1,(1)-(di)oxide analogs have been prepared from the corresponding 5-chloroisothiazol-3(2H)-one-1-oxide or -1,1-dioxide by a Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction and screened for their inhibition potency against four human carbonic anhydrase isoenzymes: the transmembrane tumor-associated hCA IX and XII and the cytosolic off-target hCA I and II. Most of the synthesized derivatives inhibited hCA IX and XII isoforms in nanomolar range, whereas remained inactive or modestly active against both hCA I and II isoenzymes. In the N-tert-butylisothiazolone series, the 5-phenyl-substituted analog (1a) excelled in the inhibition of tumor-associated hCA IX and XII (Kiâ¯=â¯4.5 and Kiâ¯=â¯4.3â¯nM, respectively) with excellent selectivity against off target hCA I and II isoenzymes (Sâ¯>â¯2222 and Sâ¯>â¯2325, respectively). Since the highest inhibition activities were observed with N-tert-butyl derivatives, lacking a zinc-binding group, we suppose to have a new binding mode situated out of the active site. Additionally, three free-NH containing analogs (3a, 4a, 3i) have also been prepared in order to study the impact of free-NH containing N-acyl-sulfinamide- (-SO-NH-CO-) or N-acyl-sulfonamide-type (-SO2-NH-CO-) derivatives on the inhibitory potency and selectivity. Screening experiments evidenced 5-phenylisothiazol-3(2H)-one-1,1-dioxide (4a), the closest saccharin analog, to be the most active derivative with inhibition constants of Kiâ¯=â¯40.3â¯nM and Kiâ¯=â¯9.6â¯nM against hCA IX and hCA XII, respectively. The promising biological results support the high potential of 5-arylisothiazolinone-1,(1)-(di)oxides to be exploited for the design of potent and cancer-selective carbonic anhydrase inhibitors.
