6-Methoxytricin (Compound 6) is an flavonoid isolated from Artemisia iwayomogi. 6-Methoxytricin (Compound 6) is an inhibitor on aldose reductase (AR) and advanced glycation endproduct (AGE) formation activities with IC50 values of 30.29 μM and 134.88 μM, respectively. 6-Methoxytricin (Compound 6) has potential as an anti-diabetic complications agent[1].
As an aldose reductase (ALR2) inhibitor, the compound is used to enhance the combination of inhibitory excitability and antioxidant capacity to delay the progress of diabetes complications.
β-Glucogallin is a potent and selective aldose reductase (AKR1B1) inhibitor. β-Glucogallin can be isolated from the medicinal plant Emblica officinalis[1].
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.
Ganoderic acid Df is a lanostane-type triterpenoid, that can be isolated from the fruiting body of Ganoderma lucidum. Ganoderic acid Df potently inhibits aldose reductase, with an IC50 of 22.8 ± 0.6 μM[1].
Zopolrestat (CP73850) is a potent, orally active aldose reductase (AR) inhibitor with an IC50 of 3.1 nM. Zopolrestat is used for the research of diabetic complications[1].
Epalrestat is an aldose reductase inhibitor for the treatment of diabetic neuropathy.Target: Aldose ReductaseEpalrestat may affect or delay progression of the underlying disease process. Data from six clinical trials were evaluated, and it was determined that epalrestat 50 mg 3 times/day may improve motor and sensory nerve conduction velocity and subjective neuropathy symptoms as compared with baseline and placebo. Epalrestat may serve as a new therapeutic option to prevent or slow the progression of diabetic neuropathy [1]. Epalrestat significantly increased the amplitude of 3 cpm waves on EGG and improved the spectral analytical parameters of heart rate variability. These findings suggest that epalrestat is useful for the treatment of diabetic gastroparesis [2]. Epalrestat is a highly effective and safe agent for the treatment of diabetic neuropathy [3].
Minalrestat (ARI-509) is a potent and orally active aldose reductase inhibitor. Minalrestat can be used in the research of diabetes[1].
Statil (Ponalrestat) is an orally active, selective and noncompetitive aldose reductase (AKR1B1; ALR) inhibitor. Statil selectively inhibits ALR2 (Ki=7.7 nM) over ALR1 (Ki=60 μM). Statil inhibits the conversion of glucose to sorbitol[1][2][3].
