Methods for treating genetic and metabolic disorders involving sorbitol metabolism
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230121312A1) describes a method for treating hereditary neuropathy associated with sorbitol-dehydrogenase (SDH) deficiency. The method involves administering an aldose reductase inhibitor to a subject in need of treatment. The aldose reductase inhibitor is a compound of Formula (III). The effective amount of the inhibitor is sufficient to reduce sorbitol accumulation in the subject.
The hereditary neuropathy associated with SDH deficiency can manifest as distal hereditary motor neuropathy (dHMN) or Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease. In the case of CMT disease, it can be further specified as CMT neuropathy type 1 (CMT-1) or CMT neuropathy type 2 (CMT-2).
The aldose reductase inhibitor used in the method can be selected from a group of compounds. The subject being treated is specified as a human, and it is mentioned that the subject may have diabetes or a complication of diabetes.
The patent also provides specific details about the chemical structure of the aldose reductase inhibitor, including the formula and various substituents. The inhibitor can be a compound of Formula (III-1) or other specific compounds.
In summary, the patent describes a method for treating hereditary neuropathy associated with SDH deficiency by administering an aldose reductase inhibitor. The inhibitor reduces sorbitol accumulation in the subject and can be selected from a group of compounds. The method can be used to treat different forms of hereditary neuropathy, including dHMN and CMT disease. The patent also provides specific details about the chemical structure of the aldose reductase inhibitor.
