Tolrestat is an aldose reductase inhibitor (IC50 = 35 nM for the bovine lens enzyme).1 Dietary administration of tolrestat decreases sciatic nerve galactitol accumulation in a rat model of galactosemia (ED50 = 7.3 mg/kg per day) and sciatic nerve sorbitol accumulation (ED50 = 4.8 mg/kg per day) in a rat model of diabetes induced by streptozotocin . It also decreases urinary total protein exretion in a rat model of STZ-induced diabetes when administered at a dose of 25 mg/kg per day.2 Topical administration of tolrestat (2 and 3% in 10 μl four times per day) decreases levels of galactitol in the lens of and inhibits cataract formation in rats fed a high-galactose diet.3

Animal experiment: | For a period of four days, rats weighing about 70 g are given unlimited access to water and Chow supplemented with 20% (wt/wt) galactose and tolrestat at various dose levels. Rats used as control receive chow containing galactose (20%, wt/wt) or glucose (20%, wt/wt). The rats are killed; the lenses and sciatic nerves are removed and homogenized in 5% trichloroacetic acid; the deproteinized extracts are then analyzed for galactitol by a modification of a method for glycerol determination. The values obtained in the group fed 20% glucose are used for background correction. |
