Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Ponalrestat, also known as MK-538, is an aldose reductase inhibitor. Ponalrestat inhibits cachexia syndrome induced by colon26 adenocarcinoma in mice. Ponalrestat activates lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity in the adipose tissue and alleviates the cachectic symptoms induced by B16 melanoma in mice. Ponalrestat is effective in the attenuation of the cachectic symptoms induced by human melanomas G361 and SEKI in nude mice, suggesting that ponalrestat has a potential usefulness for the treatment of cancer cachexia.

Product Data
Biological target:
Ponalrestat (ICI 128436) is an orally active, selective and noncompetitive aldose reductase (AKR1B1; ALR) inhibitor.
In vitro activity:
This study found that ponalrestat exposure recovers root elongation in these mutants in an ethylene signal-independent manner. Genetic and pharmacological investigations revealed that ponalrestat inhibits the enzymatic activity of the flavin-containing monooxygenase YUCCA, which catalyzes the rate-limiting step of the indole-3-pyruvic acid branch of the auxin biosynthesis pathway. Reference: J Biol Chem. 2019 Dec 27;294(52):19923-19933. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31732559/
In vivo activity:
In this study, the effect of ponalrestat on murine adenocarcinoma colon26-induced cachexia was investigated in mice. Mice bearing colon26 subcutaneously lost weight and became cachectic, associated with the tumor growth. Although tumor growth was slightly stimulated when tumor bearing mice were treated with ponalrestat: nevertheless, the drug attenuated the reduction in the weight of body mass, epididymal fat, gastrocnemius muscle and carcass induced by colon26, as well as significantly prolonged the survival of the colon26 bearing mice.
