Aldose Reductase Inhibitors [PDF]
Aldose reductase ([EC1.1.1.21]: AR) acts on the first step of the polyol metabolic pathway to catalyze the reduction of glucose to sorbitol with NADPH as a coenzyme. Hyperactivity of the pathway in individuals with high blood glucose level is closely related to the onset or progression of diabetic complications.

Modulation of aldose reductase activity by aldose hemiacetals [PDF]
Glucose is considered as one of the main sources of cell damage related to aldose reductase (AR) action in hyperglycemic conditions and a worldwide effort is posed in searching for specific inhibitors of the enzyme. This AR substrate has often been reported as generating non-hyperbolic kinetics, mimicking a negative cooperative behavior.
