摘要
The inhibition of aldose reductase is considered as a strategy to counteract the onset of both diabetic complications, upon the block of glucose conversion in the polyol pathway, and inflammation, upon the block of 3-glutathionyl-4-hydroxynonenal reduction. To ameliorate the outcome of aldose reductase inhibition, minimizing the interference with the detoxifying role of the enzyme when acting on toxic aldehydes, “differential inhibitors”, i.e., molecules able to inhibit the enzyme depending on the substrate the enzyme is working on, has been proposed. Here we report the characterization of different catechin derivatives as aldose reductase differential inhibitors. The study, conducted through both a kinetic and a computational approach, highlights structural constraints of catechin derivatives relevant in order to affect aldose reductase activity. Gallocatechin gallate and catechin gallate emerged as differential inhibitors of aldose reductase able to preferentially affect aldoses and 3-glutathionyl-4-hydroxynonenal reduction with respect to 4-hydroxynonenal reduction. Moreover, the results highlight how, in the case of aldose reductase, a substrate may affect not only the model of action of an inhibitor, but also the degree of incompleteness of the inhibitory action, thus contributing to differential inhibitory phenomena.
