Mechanism of action

  • AKR1B1 inhibitor

    It reduces the flux of glucose through the polyol pathway, inhibiting tissue accumulation of sorbitol and fructose and preventing reduction of redox potentials.

    Tolrestat inhibited in dose-dependent fashion the aldose reductase from bovine lenses (IC50, 3.5 X 10(-8) mol/L) and the formation of sorbitol in human red blood cells incubated with glucose (IC50, 3 X 10(-8) mol/L)
