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}
