Herein, we report a rationally designed series of ureido-benzenesulfonamides as dual-acting nanomolar inhibitors targeting aldose reductase (ALR2) and cholinesterases (AChE and BChE). Spectrophotometric inhibition assays revealed that compound 3SA-a displayed exceptional ALR2 affinity (KI = 7.00 ± 0.68 nM), surpassing epalrestat by over 30-fold. Likewise, 3SA-f selectively inhibited BChE with a KI of 24.20 ± 2.26 nM, outperforming tacrine by a factor of 7.8. Molecular docking simulations highlighted distinct dynamic binding modes: 3SA-a engaged ALR2's catalytic cleft through a hydrogen bond with Tyr48 and water-bridged interactions, whereas 3SA-f leveraged π-π stacking and halogen bonding within BChE's extended acyl pocket. These binding orientations were consistent with SAR findings, where meta-sulfonamide placement and halogen substitution optimized selectivity and conformational complementarity. Complementary in silico ADME-Tox predictions confirmed the drug-like nature of all compounds (0 Lipinski/PAINS violations), moderate oral permeability (QPPCaco: 79–85 nm/s), and low CNS exposure (CNS score = −2), aligning with a peripheral mechanism of action. Collectively, this study provides a detailed structural and dynamic framework for dual-target enzyme inhibition, offering a tunable scaffold for future therapeutics targeting the ALR2-ChE axis. © 2025 Elsevier Inc.</dc:description><dc:publisher>Academic Press Inc.</dc:publisher><dc:date>2025</dc:date><dc:type>Article</dc:type><dc:identifier>https://rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/r/ebyu/10976</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>https://doi.org/10.1016/j.abb.2025.110594</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>0003-9861</dc:identifier><dc:language>en</dc:language><dc:relation>Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics</dc:relation><dc:rights>info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess</dc:rights><dc:type>info:eu-repo/semantics/article</dc:type><dc:identifier>https://ebyu-rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/tr/items/ebyu/10976</dc:identifier></oai_dc:dc></metadata></record></GetRecord></OAI-PMH>
