Epalrestat inhibits Aldose Reductase (AR) involved in the rate limiting step in the conversion of glucose to sorbitol under hyperglycemic conditions. Aldose reductase has been the target of multiple clinical investigatons to treat diabetic neuropathy and retinopathy. Epalrestat is an approved drug in Japan and India, used for the treatment of diabetic neuropathy.
Diabetic neuropathy is one of the most common long-term complications in patients with diabetes mellitus, with a prevalence of 60-70% in the United States. Treatment options include antidepressants, anticonvulsants, tramadol, and capsaicin. These agents are modestly effective for symptomatic relief
Epalrestat is a carboxylic acid derivative which inhibits aldose reductase, an enzyme of the sorbitol (polyol) pathway. Under hyperglycaemic conditions epalrestat reduces intracellular sorbitol accumulation, which has been implicated in the pathogenesis of late-onset complications of diabetes mellitus. Epalrestat 150

To investigate the effects of lignans extracted from Eucommia ulmoides and epalrestat on vascular remodeling in spontaneously hypertensive rats. Ten-week-old male spontaneously hypertensive rats were randomly divided into 3 groups (12 rats each group), and treated orally with 100 mg/kg/d
Alzheimer disease is characterized by pathological aggregation of two proteins, tau and Abeta-amyloid, both of which are considered to be toxic to neurons. In this review we summarize recent advances on small molecule inhibitors of protein aggregation with emphasis on
