Sheet 1; 3, (2008/06/13)
The present invention provides novel glycoluril derivatives for use as core molecules in combinatorial chemistry. Core molecules of the present invention can contain from one to six building blocks. Preferred building blocks are substituted amine radicals. Combinatorial libraries containing such core molecules are also provided.

Accumulation of intracellular sorbitol, the product of glucose reduction catalyzed by aldose reductase (AR) [EC 1.1.1.21], is thought to be the main culprit in the development of diabetic complications. A series of 3- arylalkyl-2,4,5-trioxoimidazolidine-1-acetic acids was prepared and tested for inhibitory activities towards AR and aldehyde reductase (ALR) [EC 1.1.1.2]. These derivatives showed strong inhibitory activity against AR without markedly inhibiting ALR. In particular, the compounds with 3- nitrophenyl, 4-chloro-3-nitrophenyl, and chloro-substituted benzothiazolyl groups as the aryl part showed powerful AR-inhibitory activity. The chloro- substituted benzothiazolyl compound showed an AR selectivity of more than 5000 fold.
