摘要
N-(3,5-Difluoro-4-hydroxyphenyl)benzenesulfonamide (ng>4ng>) and its derivatives ng>5ng>–ng>7ng> were prepared as putative bioisosteres of the previously reported aldose reductase inhibitors, which are the N-benzenesulfonylglycine derivatives ng>Ing>–ng>IVng>. The in vitro aldose reductase inhibitory activity of the prepared compounds is higher than that of the respective glycine derivatives. Furthermore, the parent compound ng>4ng> reveals high antioxidant potential. Additionally, the intestine permeability of ng>4ng> is determined, and there is initial evidence that there is an operating influx mechanism. Overall, the data indicate that the presented chemotype could serve as a core structure for the design of putative pharmacotherapeutic agents, aiming to the long-term complications of diabetes mellitus.
