Statil is an aldose reductase inhibitor that blocks the conversion of glucose to sorbitol. It demonstrates selectivity for aldose reductase 2 over aldose reductase 1 with Ki values of 7.7 nM and 60 μM, respectively. Statil has been shown to prevent diabetes-induced alterations of the cardiovascular system in 14-day streptozotocin-diabetic rats. Aldose reductase inhibition by statil has also been used to impair the synthesis of prostaglandin F2α by human cultured preadipocytes.
Inhibitor (aldose reductase).
Statil is a knon aldose reductase inhibitor which blocks the conversion of glucose to sorbitol. In addition it suppresses cell cancer growth
