Recent efforts to identify treatments for chronic diabetic complications have resulted in the discovery of a novel series of highly potent and selective (2-arylcarbamoyl-phenoxy)-acetic acid aldose reductase inhibitors. The compound class features a core template that utilizes an intramolecular hydrogen bond to position the key structural elements of the pharmacophore in a conformation, which promotes a high binding affinity. The lead candidate, example 40, 5-fluoro-2-(4-bromo-2-fluoro-benzylthiocarbamoyl)-phenoxyacetic acid, inhibits aldose reductase with an IC50 of 30 nM, while being 1100 times less active against aldehyde reductase, a related enzyme involved in the detoxification of reactive aldehydes. In addition, example 40 lowers nerve sorbitol levels with an ED50 of 31 mg/kg/d po in the 4-day STZ-induced diabetic rat model.
