ABSTRACTObjective: Aldose reductase (ALR) enzyme plays a significant role in conversion of excess amount of glucose into sorbitol in diabetic condition,inhibitors of which decrease the secondary complication of diabetes mellitus. Scarce treatment of diabetic complications has motivated our interestfor the search of new aldose reductase inhibitors (ARIs) endowed with more favorable biological properties.Methods: Newer (4-(benzamidobenzylidene)-2,4-dioxothiazolidin-3-yl) acetic acid derivatives were synthesized, and these compound wereevaluated for their ARI and antidiabetic activity.Results: ARI activity of synthesized compounds was found in the range of 57.8-71.9% at 5µg/mL. Similarly, synthesized compounds decrease bloodglucose level in the range of 64.4-70.5 mg/dl at 15 mg/kg body weight.Conclusion: (E)-2-(5-(4-(substituted benzamido)benzylidene)-2,4-dioxothiazolidin-3-yl)acetic acid analogs shows comparable ARI as well asantidiabetic activity. These new class of compounds might be address the diabetic complications with safety.Keywords: Aldose reductase inhibitors, Diabetes mellitus, N-acetic acid-2,4-thiazolidinediones.

Aldose reductase (AR, ALR2), the first enzyme of the polyol pathway, is implicated in the pathophysiology of diabetic complications. Aldose reductase inhibitors (ARIs) thus present a promising therapeutic approach to treat a wide array of diabetic complications. Moreover, a therapeutic potential of ARIs in the treatment of chronic inflammation-related pathologies and several genetic metabolic disorders has been recently indicated. Substituted indoles are an interesting group of compounds with a plethora of biological activities. This article reviews a series of indole-based bifunctional aldose reductase inhibitors/antioxidants (ARIs/AOs) developed during recent years. Experimental results obtained in in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo models of diabetic complications are presented. Structure–activity relationships with respect to carboxymethyl pharmacophore regioisomerization and core scaffold modification are discussed along with the criteria of ‘drug-likeness”. Novel promising structures of putative multifunctional ARIs/AOs are designed.

Abstract In this work, isatin was employed as the scaffold to design aldose reductase inhibitors with antioxidant activity. Most of the isatin derivatives were proved to be excellent in the inhibition of aldose reductase (ALR2) with IC 50 values at submicromolar level, and (E)-2-(5-(4-methoxystyryl)-2,3-dioxoindolin-1-yl) acetic acid (9g) was identified as the most effective with an IC 50 value of 0.015 μM. Moreover, compounds 9a-h with styryl side chains at the C5 position of isatin showed potent antioxidant activity. Particularly, the phenolic compound 9h demonstrated similar antioxidant activity with the well-known antioxidant Trolox. Structure-activity relationship and molecular docking studies showed that the acetic acid group at N1 and C5 p-hydroxystyryl side chain were the key structures to increase the aldose reductase inhibitory activity and antioxidant activity.
