A series of 3-(arylalkyl)-2,4,5-trioxoimidazolidine-1-acids (1) was prepared and tested for aldose reductase (AR) and aldehyde reductase (ALR) inhibitory activities. These compounds showed strong inhibitory activity against AR without significant inhibitory activity for ALR. The ratio of IC50(ALR)/IC50(AR) was > 1000 in some compouds. On the basis of pharmacological tests such as the recovery of reduced motor nerve conduction velocity and toxicological profile, 3-(3-nitrobenzyl)-2,4,5-trioxoimidazolidine-1-acid (NZ-314) was selected as the candidate for clinical development.

thymidine phosphorylase, have been identified using molecular modelling, synthesis and biologicalevaluation. These inhibitors are 2,4,5-trioxoimidazolidines bearing N-(substituted)phenylalkyl groups, together with, in most cases, N′-(CH2)n-carboxylic acid, ester or amide side chains. The best compound from this series is 3-(2,4,5-trioxo-3-phenylethyl-imidazolodin-1-yl)propionamide, with an IC50 of

The present invention relates to parabanic acid derivatives and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and metal complexes thereof having aldose reductase inhibitory activity. The compounds have the formula
The compounds are useful as drugs for the treatment or prevention of diabetic conditions.
The present invention relates to an inhibitor for the production of 3-deoxyglucosone (3-DG) which contains at least one of parabanic acid derivatives represented by the following formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof as an effective ingredient
wherein R is hydrogen or lower alkyl; X is hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, lower alkylcycloalkyl, phenyl or phenylalkyl which is optionally substituted with lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, nitro and/or halogen; and n is an integer of from 1 to 4.
The compound of the present invention has an action of inhibiting the production of 3-DG which is a highly active intermediate and participates in a protein crosslinked formation in Maillard reaction and, therefore, said compound is useful in the treatment and the prevention of various diseases induced by deposition into tissues or sclerosis or denaturation of crosslinked protein, similar diseases induced by aging and diabetic complications.
