Abstract
A naturally occurring p-benzoquinone derivative, maesanin, inhibited porcine lens aldose reductase. Systematic investigation of related p-benzoquinone derivatives revealed that 2,5-dihydroxy- p-benzoquinone was a potent inhibitor of aldose reductase and aldehyde reductase but had no effect on NADH oxidase. Kinetic analysis showed this p-benzoquinone exhibited uncompetitive inhibition against dl-glyceraldehyde and noncompetitive inhibition against NADPH.
