Application
Epalrestat has been used as an aldose reductase inhibitor:
- in the dahomey larvae diet fed forDrosophila
- for non-irradiated and X-ray irradiated human aldose reductase
- to test its protective effect in mice with bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis
Biochem/physiol Actions
Epalrestat inhibits Aldose Reductase (AR) involved in the rate limiting step in the conversion of glucose to sorbitol under hyperglycemic conditions. Aldose reductase has been the target of multiple clinical investigatons to treat diabetic neuropathy and retinopathy. Epalrestat is an approved drug in Japan and India, used for the treatment of diabetic neuropathy.
Epalrestat is an Aldose Reductase inhibitor.

A series of novel sulfonates containing quinazolin-4(3H)-one ring derivatives was designed to inhibit aldose reductase (ALR2, EC 1.1.1.21). Novel quinazolinone derivatives (1-21) were synthesized from the reaction of sulfonated aldehydes with 3-amino-2-alkylquinazolin-4(3H)-ones in glacial acetic acid with good yields (85%-94%).
