We have previously reported the successful replacement of a carboxylic acid functionality with that of a difluorophenolic group on the known aldose reductase inhibitors (ARIs) of 2-(phenylsulfonamido)-acetic acid chemotype. In the present work, based on bioisosteric principles, additional 2,6-difluorophenol and tetrazole, methylsulfonylamide, and isoxazolidin-3-one phenylsulfonamide derivatives were synthesized and tested in vitro in protocols primarily related to the long-term diabetic complications. Most of the compounds were found as ARIs at IC50 < 100 mu M, while the introduction of the 4-bromo-2-fluorobenzyl group in a phenylsulfonamidodifluorophenol structure resulted in a compound (4c) presenting a submicromolar inhibitory profile. However, the derivatives of tetrazole, methylsulfonylamine, and the (R)-enantiomer of isoxazolidin-3-one did not exhibit appreciable A R activity. The selectivity of the active A R Is is also discussed. Furthermore, the synthesized compounds exhibited potent antioxidant potential (homogeneous and heterogeneous systems).
