Abstract
Accumulation of intracellular sorbitol, formed from glucose by aldose reductase, is believed to play an important role in the development of certain chronic complications of diabetes mellitus. Several 1-(naphthalenylsulfonyl)hydantoins inhibit aldose reductase isolated from bovine lens in vitro, and decrease galactitol formation in sciatic nerves of galactosemic rats in vivo. The 5-bromo analogue (entry 12, table I) was found to be the most orally active aldose reductase inhibitor of this series with an ED 50 value of 8.1 mg/kg po. The 1-(naphthalenylsulfonyl)-2-thiohydantoin analogues with the exception of entry 11 (table I) which showed good in vivo activity, were either inactive or had only marginal activity.
