Poliumoside is a natural compound which exhibits significant inhibition of advanced glycation end product formation with IC50 value of 4.6-25.7 μM, it also exhibits great inhibitory effects on rat lens aldose reductase with IC50 values of 0.85 μM.Poliumos

Sorbinil is an Aldose reductase inhibitor. Sorbinil plays a therapeutic role in treating diabetes and diabetic complications decreases AR activity and inhibit the polyol pathway.

Dutasteride (GI 198745) is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor that inhibits both type-1 and type2 isoforms of the enzyme and is used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia.

1. Engeletin (Dihydrokaempferol 3-rhamnoside) may serve as a potential anti-inflammatory agent. 2. Engeletin possesses potent inhibition of PGE2 release with IC5 values of 19.6 μg ml. 3. Engeletin inhibits a recombinant human aldose reductase (IC5 value=1.16 microM).

Ganoderic acid C2 has anti-inflammatory,and anti-tumor-promoting activities. Ganoderic acid C2 can inhibit histamine release, it also has inhibitory effects on the induction of Epstein-Barr Virus early antigen.

Cornoside is a natural phenolic glycoside that inhibits rat lens aldose reductase (AR) activity, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation in diabetic complications.

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.

MK 0434 is an orally active steroidal 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor.

Izonsteride (LY320236) is a selective and potent 5alpha reductase inhibitor with dual action on the type I and type II isoforms of the enzyme.Izonsteride is used in the treatment of oncology and genitourinary disorders, and may be used in the study of prostate cancer.

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

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.

2'-Acetylacteoside has antioxidative activity. It can significantly attenuate glutamate-induced neurotoxicity at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 10 μM. 2'-Acetylacteoside shows antiproliferative effects on aortic smooth muscle, indicates that it may ha

Gonadorelin Acetate (33515-09-2 free base) (Luteinizing Hormone Releasing Hormone (LH-RH)) is hypothalamic neuropeptide which plays a key role in the control of reproductive functions.
