Aldose Reductase

Salfredin A7 is an aldose reductase inhibitor that targets the enzyme responsible for converting glucose into sorbitol. This activity is significant in the context of diabetic complications, where the accumulation of sorbitol leads to cellular damage. Salfredin A7 exhibits anti-inflammatory properties and has potential applications in research focusing on diabetes-related pathologies and oxidative stress. Its inhibitory action on aldose reductase makes it a valuable reagent for studies investigating metabolic diseases and their associated complications.

Tolrestat is an aldose reductase inhibitor[1] which was approved for the control of certain diabetic complications.

Epalrestat is an aldose reductase inhibitor.

Fidarestat (SNK 860) is an inhibitor of aldose reductase, with IC50s of 26 nM, 33 μM, and 1.8 μM for aldose reductase, AKR1B10 and V301L AKR1B10, respectively; Fidarestat (SNK 860) has the potential to treat diabetic disease.

Ranirestat is an aldose reductase inhibitor being developed for the treatment of diabetic neuropathy.

Ponalrestat, also known as MK-538, is an aldose reductase inhibitor.

Sorbinil, is an Aldose reductase inhibitor (ARI).

Imirestat (AL 1576) is an aldose reductase inhibitor, used for the treatment of diabetes.

Aldose reductase-IN-1 is a inhibitor of aldose reductase with IC50 of 28.9 pM. IC50 value: 28.9 pM Target: aldose reductase Detailed information please refer to WO2014113380 A1 and US20130225592.

Risarestat (CT-112), an aldose reductase inhibitor, is developed for the treatment of diabetic complications

WJ-39 is a potent orally active inhibitor of aldose reductase (AR), demonstrating significant therapeutic potential. This compound has been shown to mitigate tubular damage in diabetic nephropathy models by activating the PINK1/Parkin signaling pathway, thereby promoting mitophagy and reducing apoptosis. WJ-39 serves as a valuable tool for studying diabetic complications and the underlying mechanisms of kidney injury.

APPA is an aldose reductase inhibitor that functions by disrupting the polyol pathway, thereby preventing apoptosis associated with diabetic conditions. In preclinical studies, APPA has demonstrated efficacy in alleviating symptoms related to Streptozotocin-induced diabetes in rat models. This compound shows promise for research applications in diabetic nephropathy (DN), offering insights into potential therapeutic strategies.
