The pH is mainly balanced by the buffer CO2/HCO3− (in the intracellular and extracellular space), so several links between CAs and the generation of seizures have been proposed [11]. Furthermore, the relation of CA and seizures is supported by the fact that CA inhibitors are (or were) employed to treat epilepsy. For example, in 1963, Esplin and Rosertain studied the inhibitor acetazolamide and they found that it decreased excitability in cat spinal cord [24]. After that, other authors proposed that the glial cells are more alkaline than neurons (due to higher concentrations of HCO3−), and the anticonvulsant action of the CA inhibitors could be related with extracellular acidosis [25].
2). The most important functional group that serves as Zn2+ anchoring group of CA inhibitors is the sulfonamide function (and their bioisosteric partners, Fig. 2). However, it is worth pointing out that other inhibition mechanisms have been discovered for other families of compounds, such as polyamines and coumarins [12]. Some commercial AEDs are CA inhibitors [29]. However, their anticonvulsant action has not been totally attributed to the CA inhibition process in most of the compounds. In fact, the CA interactions represent a drug weakness in some cases, because it generates tolerance and/or important side effects.
