Isoliquiritigenin (ISL) is a flavonoid natural product that inhibits influenza virus replication (EC50=24.7 μM) and aldose reductase activity (IC50=320 nM). Isoliquiritigenin has antitumor activity.

DL-Glyceraldehyde (Glyceric aldehyde) is produced from the action of the enzyme glyceraldehyde dehydrogenase, which converts glycerol to glyceraldehyde using NADP as a cofactor. When present at sufficiently high levels, DL-Glyceraldehyde can be a cytotoxin and a mutagen. A cytotoxin is a compound that kills cells. A mutagen is a compound that causes mutations in DNA. DL-Glyceraldehyde is a highly reactive compound that can modify and cross-link proteins. DL-Glyceraldehyde modified proteins appear to be cytotoxic, depress intracellular glutathione levels, and induce reactive oxygen species (ROS) production (PMID: 14981296 ). DL-Glyceraldehyde has been shown to cause chromosome damage to human cells in culture and is mutagenic in the Ames bacterial test.

2-Chloro-1-(4-fluorobenzyl)benzimidazole is an inhibitor of aldose reductase (ALR2).

Imirestat (HOE 843) is an aldose reductase inhibitor that can be used in diabetes research.

ALR2-IN-1 is a potent and selective ALR2 inhibitor with an IC50 value of 1.42 μM. ALR2-IN-1 possesses both antiglycemic and antioxidant activities and can be used to study the complications of diabetes.

6-Methoxytricin, a flavonoid isolated from Centella asiatica, is an inhibitor of aldose reductase (AR) and advanced glycosylation end-products (AGE), and inhibits T-cell proliferation and activation in biologic cells.

AT-007 is an orally active CNS penetrant Aldose Reductase inhibitor for the treatment of Galactosemia (IC50: 100 pM). It reduces toxic galactitol levels and prevents disease complications in GALT deficiency rats.

beta-Glucogallin (beta-Glucogallin) is a selective aldose reductase (AKR1B1) inhibitor with antioxidant, anti-glycation, and anti-inflammatory properties. beta-Glucogallin is a naturally occurring compound derived from Emblica officinalis and is used in diabetes research. Vitamin B3-d4

Fidarestat (SNK 860), an aldose reductase inhibitor, exhibits IC50 values of 26 nM, 33 μM, and 1.8 μM against aldose reductase, AKR1B10, and V301L AKR1B10 respectively, demonstrating potential for diabetes treatment.

Sulindac sulfone is a metabolite of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug sulindac.

BYAKANGELICIN,a main furanocoumarin constituent isolated and characterized as an aldose reductase inhibitor,and is effective for the treatment of sugar cataracts and diabetic neuropathy and hence might be useful as a lead compound for the development of new type drugs for clinical use.
