| Abstract | Aldose reductase (ALR2) plays a vital role in the etiology of long-term diabetic microvascular complications (DMCs) such as retinopathy, nephropathy and neuropathy. It initializes the polyol pathway and under hyperglycemic conditions, catalyzes the conversion of glucose into sorbitol in the presence of NADPH. Many ALR2 inhibitors have been withdrawn from clinical trial studies due to their cross reactivity with other analogues enzymes or due to impairment with detoxification role of ALR2. To address these issues we characterized the possible rationalities behind the selectivity problem associated with the enzyme-inhibitor interactions. Novel molecules were designed for the induce fit cavity region of ALR2. Docking studies were carried out using Glide to analyze the binding affinity of the designed molecules for ALR2. The analysis showed that the designed ALR2 inhibitors are selective for ALR2 over its close analogs. These inhibitors are also specific for the induced cavity region of ALR2 and do not interfere with the detoxification role of ALR2. Figure The currently available ALR2 inhibitors alter the detoxification role of ALR2 while the newly designed ALR2 inhibitors prevent the conversion of glucose without altering the detoxification role of ALR2 |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
