Tolrestat is an aldose reductase inhibitor (IC50 = 35 nM for the bovine lens enzyme).{46762} Dietary administration of tolrestat decreases sciatic nerve galactitol accumulation in a rat model of galactosemia (ED50 = 7.3 mg/kg per day) and sciatic nerve sorbitol accumulation (ED50 = 4.8 mg/kg per day) in a rat model of diabetes induced by streptozotocin (STZ; Item No. 13104). It also decreases urinary total protein exretion in a rat model of STZ-induced diabetes when administered at a dose of 25 mg/kg per day.{46764} Topical administration of tolrestat (2 and 3% in 10 μl four times per day) decreases levels of galactitol in the lens of and inhibits cataract formation in rats fed a high-galactose diet.{46763}
