Acetazolamide is a potent inhibitor of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase, which is involved in the regulation of pH balance and bicarbonate levels in the body. Acetazolamide inhibits the enzyme by binding to its active site and preventing the enzyme from catalyzing the reaction of carbon dioxide and water to form carbonic acid. This inhibition leads to a decrease in the production of bicarbonate, which in turn leads to a decrease in the pH of the body fluids. It also inhibits cell membrane water permeability via interaction with aquaporins.
