All rights reserved.; In an effort to identify potent aldose reductase (AR) inhibitors, 5-(arylidene)thiazolidine-2,4-diones (1-8), which were prepared by the solvent-free reaction of 2,4-thiazolidinedione with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of urea, were examined for their in vitro AR inhibitory activities and cytotoxicity. 5-(2-Hydroxy-3-methylbenzylidene)thiazolidine-2,4-dione (3) was the most potent AR inhibitor in this series, exerting uncompetitive inhibition with a Ki value of 0.445 ± 0.013 μM. The IC50 value of compound 3 for L929 mouse fibroblast cells was determined as 8.9 ± 0.66 μM, pointing out its safety as an AR inhibitor. Molecular docking studies suggested that compound 3 exhibited good affinity to the binding site of AR (PDB ID: 4JIR). Based upon in silico absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion data, the compound is predicted to have favorable pharmacokinetic features. Taking into account the in silico and in vitro data, compound 3 stands out as a potential orally bioavailable AR inhibitor for the management of diabetic complications as well as nondiabetic diseases.  © 2021 Belgin Sever et al., published by De Gruyter 2021.</dc:description><dc:publisher>De Gruyter Open Ltd</dc:publisher><dc:date>2021</dc:date><dc:type>Article</dc:type><dc:identifier>https://rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/r/ebyu/13389</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>https://doi.org/10.1515/chem-2021-0032</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>2391-5420</dc:identifier><dc:language>en</dc:language><dc:relation>Open Chemistry</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/13389</dc:identifier></oai_dc:dc></metadata></record></GetRecord></OAI-PMH>
