Abstract

A number of dibenzocycloheptenone derivatives, a novel series of aldose reductase inhibitors, were synthesized and evaluated in vitro for their ability to inhibit rat lens aldose reductase enzyme. The design of these ARIs was based on previously published pharmacophore requirements. The most active compound in this series was a spirosuccinimide derivative, spiro{2,8- dihydroxy-5H-dibenzo[a, d]cycloheptene5,3'-pyrrolidine}-2',5'-dione 11, having an IC50 of 3.0 μM.
