Fidarestat is an aldose reductase inhibitor (IC50 = 0.026 μM using human recombinant enzyme) that also inhibits aldo-keto reductase family 1 member B10 (AKR1B10; IC50 = 33 μM using human recombinant enzyme).1 It decreases sorbitol and myo-inositol levels in the sciatic nerve of rats with diabetes induced by streptozotocin (STZ; Item No. 13104) when administered at a dose of 2 mg/kg per day.2 Fidarestat (2 mg/kg per day) decreases nerve fiber abnormalities and reverses slowing of motor nerve conduction velocity (MNCV) in an STZ-induced diabetic rat model of peripheral neuropathy. It decreases the pain threshold in STZ-induced diabetic mice that overexpress human aldose reductase when administered at 4 mg/kg per day.3 Fidarestat (50 mg/kg per day) decreases metastasis in a KM20 human colorectal cancer mouse xenograft model.4
