pharmacokinetic properties is still of great interest. In this paper some new N-(aroyl)-N-(arylmethyloxy)alanines have been synthesized and tested for their ability to inhibit ALR2. Some of the synthesized compounds exhibit IC50 in the low micromolar range and all have proved to be highly selective towards ALR2. The N-(aroyl)-N-(arylmethyloxy)-α-alanines are a promising starting point for the development of new
醛糖还原酶(ALR2)是
NADPH依赖性的还原酶,是
葡萄糖代谢多元醇途径的第一种酶和限速酶,与继发性糖尿病并发症的发病机理有关。在过去的几十年中,该酶一直被认为是抑制性酶,但是尽管人们为确定有效和安全的ALR2
抑制剂付出了许多努力,但许多临床候选药物还是失败了。因此,对新的高效,选择性和具有合适药代动力学性质的ALR2
抑制剂的研究仍然引起人们极大的兴趣。在本文中,已经合成了一些新的N-(芳酰基)-N-(芳基甲
氧基)丙
氨酸,并测试了它们抑制ALR2的能力。一些合成的化合物在低微摩尔范围内表现出IC50,并且所有化合物均已证明对ALR2具有高度选择性。
