Zopolrestat is a potent inhibitor of aldose reductase (IC50s = 1.9 and 41 nM for the human placenta and rat lens enzymes, respectively).{48645} It inhibits sorbitol accumulation in human and rat erythrocytes (IC50s = 370 and 220 nM, respectively). Zopolrestat (50 ?M) inhibits ethanol-induced aldose reductase activity and lipid accumulation in HepG2 cells.{48646} In vivo, zopolrestat (50 mg/kg) reduces sciatic nerve, retina, and lens accumulation of sorbitol in a rat model of diabetes induced by streptozotocin (STZ; Item No. 13104).{48645} It also reduces protein excretion and maintains lens transparency and myo-inositol content, markers of cataract development, in rats with STZ-induced diabetes when administered at a dose of 100 mg/kg.{48647} Zopolrestat also inhibits glyoxalase I (GLOI; Ki = 18 ?M).{48648}
