lens aldose reductase

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.

oxepinac is an effective and well-tolerated compound for the treatment of painful osteoarthritis. oxepinac has no teratogenic effect on mouse and rabbit fetuses in animal experiments.

Tectoridin (Shekanin) possesses an estrogenic and thyroid hormone-like agent by activating estrogen and thyroid hormone receptors. Tectoridin has anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and hypoglycemic activities; Tectoridin and its five metabolites inhibits the activities of lens aldose reductase in rat (IC : 1.4-15.5 μM).

Myrciacetin, a flavonoid derived from Rhododendron dauricum, exhibits inhibitory activity against rat lens aldose reductase, as demonstrated by an IC50 value of 13 μM.

Isorhamnetin-3-O-glucoside (Isorhamnetin-3-O-beta-D-Glucoside) inhibits the activity of alpha-glucosidase from rat intestine; it exhibits a potent rat lens aldose reductase (RLAR) inhibition in vitro, its IC(50) being 1.4 microM and has inhibitory effects of sorbitol accumulation, suggests that it is a leading compound for further study as a new drug for the prevention and or treatment of diabetes and its complications.
