Description

Risarestat (CT-112), an aldose reductase inhibitor, is developed for the treatment of diabetic complications.

In Vivo

Risarestat inhibits the accumulation of dulcitol in a dose-dependent manner, except for the 1.0% solution which has an activity comparable to the 0.25% solution[1]. Risarestat peaks in the corneal epithelium, stroma, endothelium and aqueous humor in 30 minutes following instillation, then gradually diminishes time-dependently over a period of 24 hours. Risarestat remains detectable in the lens up to 24 hours, with a peak concentration at 2 hours after instillation[2]. The anterior surface area of superficial cells in the group treated with Risarestat is significantly decreases from a mean value of 881 to 728 microns2. Corneal sensitivity significantly improves from 5.36 to 1.37 g/mm2[3]. Animals treated with Risarestat shows a significant increase in the mean blinkresponse compared to untreated galactose-fed rats and does not differ significantly from controls towards the completion of the 7 month study. Animals treated topically with Risarestat and untreated galactose-fed rats develop bilateral nuclear cataracts within 3 weeks[4].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 5.25 mg/mL (16.23 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5.25 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (52.5 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Animal Administration
[1][2]

Rats: The other 5 groups are fed on a 50% galactose diet, and 0.1, 0.25, 0.5 or 1.0% Risarestat ophthalmic solution or its vehicle is instilled in both eyes 4 times a day in each of the 5 treated groups. After 2 weeks, the corneal epithelium is scraped off in all rats and its dulcitol content is determined by gas chromatography[1].

Rabbits: Risarestat is prepared in acetate-buffered saline. 50 μL of 0.5% Risarestat in 7mM acetate-buffered saline (pH 5.2, 290 mOsm) containing 0.15% chlorbutanol as a preservative is instilled to both conjunctival sac of rabbits. This ophthalmic solution is proven to be untoxic to the external eye after 90 days' instillation to the rabbits 9 times a day. The rabbits are then sacrificed at, 15 and 30 minutes, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 24 hours after instillation[2].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
