Alrestatin sodium
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Alrestatin (AY-22284) sodium is an aldose reductase inhibitor. Alrestatin sodium reduces fructose levels in the uterine fluid of mice. Alrestatin sodium interferes with sperm capacitation and impairs fertilization function in mice. Alrestatin sodium decreases basal and tyramine-induced norepinephrine release in rat pancreatic specimens in vitro. Alrestatin sodium enhances glucose- and arginine-stimulated insulin secretion in vivo. Alrestatin sodium can be used in studies related to diabetes and reproductive diseases.

Biological Activity
Alrestatin (1-5 mg/mL; 15 min) sodium dose-dependently inhibits basal and tyramine-stimulated 3H-norepinephrine release from rat splenic and pancreatic tissue samples in vitro[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Alrestatin (0.15 μg/μL; intrauterine infusion) sodium significantly reduces fructose levels in mouse uterine fluid without altering glucose or sorbitol levels[2].
Alrestatin (1.5 mmol/L; intrauterine injection) sodium significantly reduces sperm capacitation rate and fertilization rate in mice, while co-administration of fructose or sorbitol reverses these effects[2].
