Lidorestat (IDD-676) is an aldose reductase inhibitor (IC50: 5 nM) with effective, selective and oral activity. Lidorestat improves nerve conduction and reduces the formation of cataracts. Lidorestat can be used to treat complications of chronic diabetes.

Ranirestat (AS-3201) is an orally active and potent aldose reductase (AR) inhibitor with neuroprotective properties that ameliorates peripheral nerve dysfunction in rats with advanced diabetic polyneuropathy.Ranirestat inhibits the inflammatory response of high glucose-exposed endothelial cells and may be useful for the study of diabetic sensory-motor polyneuropathy.

Risarestat (CT-112) is a potent aldose reductase inhibitor and thyroid hormone receptor (TR) antagonist for the treatment of hypoglycemia.

Tolrestat (AY-27773) is a potent inhibitor of aldose reductase (IC50 = 35 nM).

Alconil (Al 1567) is an aldose reductase inhibitor that may be used to study chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and diabetes.

Minalrestat(ARI-509) is an orally active and potent aldose reductase inhibitor for the study of impaired microvascular reactivity in diabetic patients.

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.

Epalrestat (ONO2235), an aldose reductase inhibitor, is well tolerated in Long-term therapy. It can effectually ameliorate the associated symptoms of diabetic neuropathy and delay the progression of the disease, particularly in patients with limited microangiopathy and good glycemic control.

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.

EBPC is an inhibitor of aldose reductase.

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.
