Safety Data Sheet (SDS)
Biological target:
Ranirestat is a potent and orally active aldose reductase inhibitor with IC50s of 11 nM and 15 nM for rat lens AR and recombinant human AR, respectively, and a Ki of 0.38 nM for recombinant human AR.
In vitro activity:
The findings of this study show that UGT2B, a UDP-glucuronosyltransferases isoform, specifically utilizes UDP-glucose but not UDP-glucuronic acid as a sugar donor for the conjugation of AS-3201 in human liver microsomes. Reference: Biochem Pharmacol. 2004 Apr 1;67(7):1269-78. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15013842/
In vivo activity:
Ranirestat improved the peripheral nervous dysfunctions in rats with advanced diabetic polyneuropathy. Ranirestat could have potential for regeneration in the peripheral nervous system of diabetic rats. Reference: J Diabetes Res. 2019 Nov 18;2019:2756020. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31828158/
