Human aldose reductase in complex with NADP+ and the inhibitor lidorestat at 1.04 angstrom

Overview

Recent efforts to identify treatments for chronic diabetic complications, have resulted in the discovery of a novel series of highly potent and, selective 3-[(benzothiazol-2-yl)methyl]indole-N-alkanoic acid aldose, reductase inhibitors. The lead candidate, 3-[(4,5,7-trifluorobenzothiazol-2-yl)methyl]indole-N-acetic acid, (lidorestat, 9) inhibits aldose reductase with an IC(50) of 5 nM, while, being 5400 times less active against aldehyde reductase, a related enzyme, involved in the detoxification of reactive aldehydes. It lowers nerve and, lens sorbitol levels with ED(50)'s of 1.9 and 4.5 mg/kg/d po, respectively, in the 5-day STZ-induced diabetic rat model. In a 3-month, diabetic intervention model (1 month of diabetes followed by 2 months of, drug treatment at 5 mg/kg/d po), it normalizes polyols and reduces the, motor nerve conduction velocity deficit by 59% relative to diabetic, controls. It has a favorable pharmacokinetic profile (F, 82%; t(1/2), 5.6, h; Vd, 0.694 L/kg) with good drug penetration in target tissues (C(max) in, sciatic nerve and eye are 2.36 and 1.45 mug equiv/g, respectively, when, dosed with [(14)C]lidorestat at 10 mg/kg po).
