Abstract
Gossypol and 17 derivatives were tested as inhibitors of aldose reductase from human placenta. Gossypol and a number of the derivatives were potent inhibitors. The order of inhibitory activity was interpreted in relation to the Kador-Sharpless pharmacophor model for the aldose reductase inhibitor site. The structural but not the electronic aspects of the model were found to apply to this series of compounds.
