Biological Activity
Minalrestat (100 μM) decreased intracellular sorbitol without affecting intracellular glucose in primary cultured rat mesangial cells[3].
Minalrestat (100 μM, 48 h) causes accumulation of PKC-α and -β2 in primary cultured rat mesangial cells[3].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
