| Targets |
Aldose reductase (rat lens enzyme). Alrestatin selectively inhibits aldose reductase with an IC50 of 1.5 µM for the rat lens enzyme. It shows selectivity for rat lens aldose reductase over rat kidney aldehyde reductase (IC50 = 58 µM). Inhibition of aldose reductase prevents the accumulation of sorbitol in tissues, which is implicated in diabetic complications.

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
Alrestatin inhibits aldose reductase in vitro with an IC50 of 1.5 µM for the rat lens enzyme. It is selective for aldose reductase over aldehyde reductase (IC50 = 58 µM). The compound attenuates glucose-induced angiotensin II production in rat vascular smooth muscle in vitro. It also inhibits gastric acid secretion.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, Alrestatin has been studied for its potential to prevent diabetic complications such as neuropathy and retinopathy. It inhibits gastric acid secretion and decreases the volume of gastric juice in pylorus-ligated rats. The compound has been used in pharmacological research to study the role of aldose reductase in polyol pathway activation.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme inhibition assays for Alrestatin involve measuring aldose reductase activity in the presence of varying concentrations of the compound. The enzyme is typically purified from rat lens. Activity is measured by monitoring the reduction of DL-glyceraldehyde or glucose to sorbitol in the presence of NADPH. The IC50 is determined from dose-response curves. Selectivity is assessed by comparing activity against aldehyde reductase.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cellular assays for Alrestatin are not extensively documented. When performed, they typically involve vascular smooth muscle cells cultured in high glucose conditions. Cells are treated with Alrestatin, and angiotensin II production is measured. The compound's ability to attenuate glucose-induced effects is assessed.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies for Alrestatin have been conducted in rat models. The compound is typically administered orally or intraperitoneally. Gastric acid secretion is measured in pylorus-ligated rats. Effects on diabetic complications may be assessed in streptozotocin-induced diabetic models by measuring nerve conduction velocity, lens opacity, or renal function. Dosing regimens vary.
|

| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (9.80 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: 2.5 mg/mL (9.80 mM) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), suspension solution; with ultrasonication. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution. View More

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
