Sorbinil (1), a spirocyclic hydantoin, is a potent inhibitor of the enzyme aldose reductase. Simulation of the rigid spirocyclic ring orientation found in sorbinil was achieved with nonspirocyclic 5-[5'-chloro-2'-(alkylsulfonyl)-phenyl]hydantoins and 5-[5'-chloro-2'-[(N-alkylamino)sulfonyl]phenyl]hydantoins. The 2'-substituent (SO2R) was sufficiently large to hinder rotation of the hydantoin ring, forcing an orientation similar to that of a spirocyclic hydantoin. Calculated conformational preference, X-ray data, and inhibitory IC50 values for these nonspirocyclic 2'-substituted (SO2R) phenylhydantoins are in accord with what is expected for spirocyclic hydantoins and comparable to those of sorbinil.
A series of 5-(substituted phenyl)hydantoins and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are aldose reductase inhibitors useful as agents for treatment of chronic diabetic complications, processes for preparing said compounds, and pharmaceutical compositions containing them.
