Review-ready Target Rationale

Why Carbonic anhydrase 1 matters

As of 2026-09-13

Carbonic anhydrase 1 is reviewed as Carbonic anhydrase 1 (UniProt P00915); Carbonic anhydrase 1 shows approved-linked disease relevance led by glaucoma. 5 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block.; 4 linked drugs keep this evidence frame grounded.; the current evidence base includes 53 approved drugs, 9425 compounds, and 833 assays, with lead potency reaching pChEMBL 11.0.

Disease context
glaucoma

Carbonic anhydrase 1 shows approved-linked disease relevance led by glaucoma. 5 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 4 linked drugs keep the rationale reviewable. 5 additional disease programs remain visible in the same card. Linked drugs include ACETAZOLAMIDE, ACETAZOLAMIDE SODIUM, DICHLORPHENAMIDE.

Start review with glaucoma because it currently carries approved-linked support. Linked drugs include ACETAZOLAMIDE, ACETAZOLAMIDE SODIUM, DICHLORPHENAMIDE, METHAZOLAMIDE. This disease block keeps the Open Targets-ready contract explicit while current evidence comes from ChEMBL mechanism and indication mappings.
