Various acetic acid derivatives of pyrrolo[1,2-c]imidazole were prepared and evaluated for aldose reductase inhibitory activity. Most of the compounds inhibited aldose reductase isolated from rat lens in vitro and decreased sorbitol formation in sciatic nerves of diabetic rats in vivo. Of the test compounds, 2-carboxymethyl-6-ethyl-5,7-dimethyl-3-oxo-1(2H)-thioxo-1H-pyrrolo[1,2-c] imidazole 124 was found to be the most orally active aldose reductase inhibitor, with an inhibitory potency similar to that of AD-5467.
