2-Thioxo-4-thiazolidinone derivatives were evaluated as aldose reductase inhibitors (ARIs) and most of them exhibited good or excellent in vitro efficacy. Out of the tested compounds, most N-unsubstituted analogues were found to possess inhibitory effects at low micromolar doses and two of them exhibited higher potency than sorbinil, used as a reference drug. The insertion of an acetic chain on N-3 of the thiazolidinone scaffold led to analogues with submicromolar affinity for ALR2 and IC50 values very similar to that of epalrestat, the only ARI currently used in therapy.

Summary: This study demonstrates that partial silencing of cN-II in a pulmonary carcinoma cell line leads to a decrease in adenylate pool and an increase in oxidative metabolism, which may be mediated by p53 and AMP-activated protein kinase.

In Search of Differential Inhibitors of Aldose Reductase

Francesco Balestri, Roberta Moschini, Umberto Mura, Mario Cappiello, Antonella Del Corso

Summary: This article introduces the role of aldose reductase (AKR1B1) in diabetic complications and the development of its inhibitors. Currently, the synthesized inhibitors have failed to become drugs for the treatment of diabetic complications. The article proposes a differential inhibition approach that has the potential to become a new generation of inhibitors.

Dissecting the Activity of Catechins as Incomplete Aldose Reductase Differential Inhibitors through Kinetic and Computational Approaches

Summary: The increased glucose levels in diabetes lead to metabolic alterations and the onset of diabetic complications. Blocking the polyol pathway through aldose reductase inhibition is considered a valuable strategy. However, the enzyme also has a beneficial effect in cells, so the use of differential inhibitors has been proposed to preserve its detoxifying action. This study analyzed derivatives of catechins as potential differential inhibitors of aldose reductase and found promising inhibitory effects.

Ribose Intake as Food Integrator: Is It a Really Convenient Practice?

Roberta Moschini, Francesco Balestri, Mario Cappiello, Giovanni Signore, Umberto Mura, Antonella Del-Corso

Summary: The use of ribose as an energizing food supplement for healthy individuals has been suggested due to its reported beneficial effects in cardiovascular and muscle stressful conditions. However, caution is needed as there are several critical issues and potential negative effects associated with this practice. This article emphasizes the risks of using free ribose as an ATP source and highlights the cytotoxic effect of ribose due to its high glycation capacity.

Response of a Human Lens Epithelial Cell Line to Hyperglycemic and Oxidative Stress: The Role of Aldose Reductase

Gemma Sardelli, Viola Scali, Giovanni Signore, Francesco Balestri, Mario Cappiello, Umberto Mura, Antonella Del Corso, Roberta Moschini

Summary: A common feature of different types of diabetes is high blood glucose levels, which can cause metabolic alterations and tissue damage. Two key factors in this response are increased polyol pathway flux and oxidative stress. This study investigated the effects of stress conditions, specifically high glucose levels and the lipid peroxidation product 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal, on a human lens epithelial cell line. The study found that both stress conditions induced the expression of COX-2, but only hyperglycemic stress activated NF-kappa B. The role of aldose reductase was found to be important in cellular detoxification against lipid peroxidation products, but not in controlling the onset of inflammatory phenomena.

Design and synthesis of a library of C2-substituted sulfamidoadenosines to probe bacterial permeability

Summary: Antibiotic resistance is a major threat to public health, with Gram-negative bacteria presenting unique challenges due to their low permeability and efflux pumps. Limited understanding of the chemical rules for overcoming these barriers hinders antibacterial drug discovery. Efforts to address this issue, such as screening compound libraries and using cheminformatic analysis, have led to the design of sulfamidoadenosines with diverse substituents, showing potential utility in accumulation in Escherichia coli.

Summary: This study successfully developed a short peptide mimetic as a MERS-CoV fusion inhibitor by reproducing the key recognition features of the HR2 helix. The resulting 23-mer lipopeptide showed comparable inhibitory effect to the 36-mer HR2 peptide HR2P-M2. This has important implications for developing short peptide-based antiviral agents to treat MERS-CoV infection.

Summary: Beta(2)-adrenergic receptor agonists can stimulate glucose uptake by skeletal muscle cells and are therefore potential treatments for type 2 diabetes. The chirality of compounds has a significant impact on the activity of these agonists. This study found that certain synthesized compounds showed higher glucose uptake activity. These findings provide important information for the design of novel beta(2)AR agonists for T2D treatment.
