A number of N-benzoyl amino acids were synthesized and tested to compare structure-inhibition relationships with the isosteric N-(phenylsulfonyl) amino acid (PS-amino acid) aldose reductase inhibitors.Inhibition analyses with these series reveals that their kinetic mechanisms of inhibition are similar, but that significant differences in structure-inhibition relationships exist.For example, while the PS-alanines and PS-2-phenylglycines produce enantioselective inhibition (S > R), no consistent pattern of enantioselectivity is observed with the isosteric N-benzoylalanines and 2-phenylglycines.Also, N-methyl and N-phenyl substitution in the PS-amino acid series does not substantially alter inhibitory activity, while similar substitutions in the N-benzoyl series (particularly N-phenyl) results in a significant increase in inhibitory activity.Proton NMR analysis of the N-benzoylsarcosines reveals that these compounds exist as a mixture of rotamers in solutions including the enzyme assay buffer and that the preferred conformer is one in which the carboxymethyl moiety is trans to the aromatic ring.Similar analyses with the N-benzoyl-N-phenylglycines demonstrate that these derivatives exist exclusively in the trans rotameric conformation in solution.No such N-substituent effects on conformation were observed in the PS-amino acid series.These results suggest that the differences in structure-inhibition trends between these structurally related series may result from the effect of substituents on preferred conformation.

A number of N-benzoylglycines (6), N-acetyl-N-phenylglycines (7), N-benzoyl-N-phenylglycines (8), and tricyclic N-acetic acids (9-12) were synthesized as analogues of the N-acylglycine-containing aldolase reductase inhibitors alrestatin and 2-oxoquinoline-1-acetic acid.Derivatives of 6, which represent ring-simplified analogues of alrestatin, are very weak inhibitors of aldolase reductase obtained from rat lens, producing 50percent inhibition only at concentrations exceeding 100 μM.Compounds of series 7 were designed as ring-opened analogues of the 2-oxoquinolines.While this derivatives are more potent than compounds of series 6 (IC 50s of 6-80 μM), they are less active than the corresponding 2-oxoquinolines.Analogues of series 8 were designed as hybrid structures of both alrestatin and the 2-oxoquinoline-1-acetic acids.These compounds are substantially more potent than compounds of series 6 and 7 and display inhibitory activities comparable to or greater than alrestatin or the 2-oxoquinolines (IC 50s of 0.1-10 μM).Of the rigid analogues of 8, the most potent derivative is benzoxindol (12) with an IC 50 of 0.67 μM, suggesting that fusion of the two aromatic rings of 8 in a coplanar conformation may optimize affinity for aldose reductase in this series.
