Schlitzer, Martin published the artcileSynthesis of potential aldose reductase inhibitors based on minimal pharmacophore requirements, Synthetic Route of 92-36-4, the publication is Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology (2001), 53(6), 831-839, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.
A series of 17 compounds was synthesized based on the premise that the minimal pharmacophore for aldose reductase inhibition requires the presence of both an aryl group and a polar group connected by a linking structure. Three groups of compounds were synthesized, the first possessing a 4-(6-methyl-2-benzothiazolyl)aniline or 2-aminobenzothiazole group as the aryl group, the second possessing a 2-naphthyl as the aryl group and the third possessing either a 2-phenyl-4-thiazolyl or 5-(2-nitrophenyl)-2-furanyl as the aryl group. In all three of these groups the carboxylate or its Me ester are linked to the aryl group through various lengths of methylene carbons and amide or cinnamide groups. Optimal activity was observed when the carboxyl group was separated from the aryl group by a linking structure of five atoms in length. Both a double bond and an amide moiety are well tolerated in the linking structure.
