MK181 is an AKR1B10 inhibitor. MK181 can bind into the external loop A subpocket. AKR1B10 has evolved as a tumor marker and promising antineoplastic target. It shares high structural similarity with the diabetes target enzyme aldose reductase (AR). | [Uses]
MK181 is an aldose reductase (AR) inhibitor with IC50s of 0.71 μM and 4.5 μM for aldose reductase and AKR1B10, respectively. MK181 can bind into the external loop A subpocket of AKR1B10[1]. | [References]
