Title: A sorbitol dehydrogenase inhibitor of exceptional in vivo potency with a long duration of action: 1-(R)-[4-[4-(4,6-dimethyl[1,3,5]triazin-2-yl)- 2R,6S-dimethylpiperazin-1-yl]pyrimidin-2- yl]ethanol.

Abstract: We report here a novel sorbitol dehydrogenase inhibitor, 16, that shows very high oral potency (50 microg/kg) in normalizing elevated fructose levels in the sciatic nerve of chronically diabetic rats and sustained duration of action (>24 h). Furthermore, 16 shows attractive pharmaceutical properties, including good solubility in simulated human gastric fluid, excellent Caco-2 Papp, moderate lipophilicity, and metabolic stability for achieving good oral absorption and long duration of action.
