Zenarestat (FK-366; CI-1014; FR-74366) is a novel and potent aldose reductase inhibitor with the potential to be used for the treatment of diabetic neuropathy and cataract.
| ln Vivo |
In a dose-dependent manner, zenarestat (3.2, 32 mg/kg; oral; once daily for 8 weeks) suppresses the buildup of neurosorbide [1].

| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Zucker diabetic fat (ZFD) rat (type 2 diabetes model) [1]
Doses: 3.2, 32 mg/kg Route of Administration: Po; one time/day for 8 weeks Experimental Results: At 3.2 mg/kg dose , although the accumulation of sorbitol in the sciatic nerve was diminished, zenarestat had no significant effect on the delay of F-wave minimum latency (FML) and the slowing of motor nerve conduction velocity (MNCV). Partially inhibited in ZDF rats. Treatment with 32 mg/kg zenarestat improved these neurological deficits in ZDF rats, while neurosorbitol accumulation was diminished to almost the level of lean rats. |

Drug Indication
Zenarestat has been investigated for the treatment of diabetic neuropathy. Mechanism of Action Polyneuropathy, or damage to peripheral neurons, is common in diabetic patients and can cause pain, sensory and motor dysfunction in the extremities. Zenarestat is an aldose reductase inhibitor that inhibits glucose metabolism via the polyol pathway, potentially slowing or mitigating the progression of polyneuropathy. Chronic hyperglycemia affects peripheral nerves through extracellular mechanisms (involving multiple glycation reactions and chemical rearrangements) and intracellular pathways (involving increased glucose consumption via the polyol pathway). The polyol pathway enables cells to utilize glucose to produce fructose, and this pathway involves two steps requiring energy and enzymes. In the first step, aldose reductase catalyzes the conversion of glucose to sorbitol; the second step involves the oxidation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH to NADP). Chronic hyperglycemia causes damage by activating the polyol pathway, leading to decreased intracellular NADPH levels. This, in turn, reduces the levels of glutathione (a free radical scavenger) and nitric oxide (a vasodilator), while simultaneously increasing intracellular sorbitol levels. This results in decreased inositol (essential for Na-K ATPase function) levels and increased fructose levels, thereby increasing the production of AGEs (advanced glycation end products, byproducts of the polyol pathway). Zenarestat prevents these harmful processes by inhibiting the first step of the polyol pathway. |

| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 25 mg/mL (56.61 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (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 250.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.66 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in 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 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. (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |

*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.
Calculation results
Working concentration： mg/mL；
Method for preparing DMSO stock solution： mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO (stock solution concentration mg/mL). Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug.
Method for preparing in vivo formulation:：Take μL DMSO stock solution, next add μL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O，mix and clarify.
