BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
An aldose reductase inhibitor is useful as a preventive agent and/or a remedy for diabetic complications. The diabetic complications appear in various forms, such as neuropathy, retinopathy, nephropathy, cataracts and keratopathy. It has been known that these diseases are triggered by hyperglycemia and caused by abnormal increase of the production of sorbitol in the polyol pathway to abnormally accumulate a large amount of sorbitol in the cells.
The present aldose reductase inhibitor remarkably and effectively inhibits the activity of aldose reductase. which catalyzes the production of sorbitol in the polyol pathway, to prevent the production of sorbitol. As a result, the present aldose reductase inhibitor acts as a useful preventive agent/remedy for diabetic complications.
Dr. Tsuyoshi Tanimoto [Division of Biological Chemistry and Reference Standards, National Institute of Hygienic Sciences] reported that aldose reductase inhibitors are effective for prevention/treatment of diabetic complications [FARUMASHIA, 24, No. 5, p. 459.about.463 (1988)]. This article discloses the chemical structures and IC.sub.50 (concentrations for inhibiting activities by 50%) of representative aldose reductase inhibitors such as Alrestatin, Tolrestat, 4-Isopropyl-BPOC, Sorbinil, M-79175, Alconil, AND-138, Epalrestat, CT-112 and Statil.
The effective compounds having the formula [I] comprise both known and novel.
For example, the compounds listed in Table 1 are described, as an antiallergic agent.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The object of the present invention is to provide an aldose reductase inhibitor which has an excellent inhibitory effect to aldose reductase and which is very effective as a preventive agent and/or a remedy for diabetic complications with low toxicity to human body.
In the course of intensively studying the aminophenyl tetrazole derivatives in Table 1, which have been found to be useful as an antiallergic agent (J.P. Kokoku Nos. 59-1704, 59-1705 and 59-1707 and J.P. Kokai No. 63-44570), in respect of other pharmacological activities than the antiallergic activity, the present inventors have found out that those compounds have a very useful inhibitory activity for aldose reductase.
In order to develop much excellent compounds, the present inventors have synthesized many compounds similar to the known compounds above and made intensive studies on those compounds including screening. As a result, the present inventors have found out that the novel compounds having the general formula [I] are very excellent aldose reductase inhibitors. The present invention has been completed based on this finding.
Namely, the present invention relates to an aldose reductase inhibitor containing, as an effective component, a compound having the following general formula [I]: ##STR8## R.sub.1 is a hydrogen atom or --A--COOR.sub.5 (A is an alkylene group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms and R.sub.5 is a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group), and R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are the same as or different from each other and selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom, a hydroxy group, a halogen atom, a carboxyl group, an alkyl group, an amide group, an amino group, an alkoxy group, an aryl group, an aryloxy group, an alkylthio group, an alkylsulfinyl group, an alkylsulfonyl group, a nitro group, --NHCOCOOR.sub.6 (R.sub.6 is a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group), a mono- or dialkylaminosulfonyl group, and a residual group having the following formula: ##STR9## (A and R.sub.5 are the same as in the above).

DETAILED EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION
In the above formula, the alkylene group as A is preferably those having 1 to 4 carbon atoms. The group A may have a substituent such as an alkyl group like a methyl group.
The lower alkyl group as R.sub.5 is preferably those having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, more preferably 1 to 2 carbon atoms, such as a methyl group and an ethyl group.
The alkyl group as R.sub.2, R.sub.3 or R.sub.4 is preferably those having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, more preferably 1 to 7 carbon atoms.
The amido group as R.sub.2, R.sub.3 or R.sub.4 is generally those amido groups derived from monoalkyl amino compounds. dialkyl amino compounds, or cyclic amino compounds. Such monoalkyl amino compounds include those amine compounds having an alkyl group of C.sub.1 to C.sub.7. Such dialkyl amino compounds include those compounds having an alkyl group of C.sub.1 to C.sub.7. Such cyclic amino compounds include those compounds such as piperidine.
The alkyl group of the alkoxy group, alkylthio group, alkyl sulfinyl group, alkylsulfonyl group or mono- or di-alkylaminosulfonyl group is preferably those having 1 to 7 carbon atoms.
The phenyl or phenoxy group as R.sub.2, R.sub.3 or R.sub.4 may have a substituent.
The dosage per day of the present compound is dependent on the degree of the symptom of a patient. In general, it is 1 to 1000 mg per adult. The dosage is usually administered at one time or at several times.
The administration can be made in any form. For example, it can be made orally, subcutaneously, intravenously, muscularly, or locally.
The present compound is usually used in various forms, such as a tablet, a powder, a fine particle, a granule, a capsule, a ball, a solution, an injection, an eye drop, and the like, using additives, which are conventionally used, such as a diluent including sodium citrate, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate and lactic acid, a disintegrator including corn starch and alginic acid, a binder including gelatin and acacia gum, and a lubricant including magnesium stearate, sodium lauryl sulfate and talc.
The present compound can be synthesized as follows. In this case, the definitions of A and R.sub.1 .about.R.sub.6 are the same as the above, Hal means a halogen atom, and Ar means ##STR10##
In Reaction 1, the reaction is preferably conducted in a solvent such as methanol, ethanol or propanol, below the boiling point of the solvent.
Reaction 2 corresponds to a tetrazole cyclization reaction. In this reaction, N-aryloylaminoalkyl carboxylate is reacted with a chlorinating agent such as phosphorus pentachloride or thionyl chloride, to produce an imidoylchloride, which is then reacted with sodium azide to give the object compound. The synthetic reaction of the imidoyl chloride can be conducted in a solvent such as benzene or toluene. The reaction temperature is preferably room temperature or lower.
In the cyclization reaction, the intermediate imidoylchloride can be used without purifying it. Sodium azide is preferably used in an amount 1.5 to 3 times (in mole) that of the imidoylchloride. The reaction is preferably conducted in dimethylformamide at room temperature.
Reaction 3 shows that if the compound wherein R.sub.5 is a hydrogen atom is necessary to be produced, the carboxylate produced in Reaction 1 or 2 is merely hydrolyzed. This hydrolysis reaction can be conducted in the presence of a base such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, or an acid such as hydrochloric acid. sulfuric acid, acetic acid or trifluoroacetic acid.
Reaction 4 shows a representative process for synthesizing the compound having the formula [I] wherein R.sub.2 is --NHCOCOOR.sub.6 and indicates the reaction between an aminophenyl tetrazole having an amino group as a position where R.sub.2 is introduced and an alkyl oxalate.
This reaction can be conducted in an inert organic solvent which has been used for organic synthetic reactions. It is preferable that the reaction should be conducted using, as a solvent, a greatly excessive amount of the feed reactant, the alkyl oxalate (generally, 5 to 10 times (in mole) that of the other reactant). The reaction temperature is preferably 100.degree. to 180.degree. C.
Reaction 5 shows that the compound obtained by Reaction 4 can be hydrolyzed at an ester position, if the compound wherein R.sub.6 is a hydrogen atom is necessary to be obtained.
The resultant compound having the formula [I] can be isolated and purified through the conventional chemical processes such as extraction, recrystallization or column chromatography. The purified compound is used as an effective component of an aldose reductase inhibitor.

EXPERIMENT 1
Aldose Reductase Inhibition Test
(1) Test Procedure
Six-week-old male SD rats were killed under ether anesthesia and their crystalline lenses were immediately removed and stored at -80.degree. C. The lenses were homogenized in 3 volumes of 135 mM sodium potassium phosphate buffer (pH: 7.0) and centrifuged at a rate of 30,000 rpm for 30 min. The supernatant was dialyzed overnight against 0.05M sodium chloride, to produce an aldose reductase solution. All operations were conducted at 4.degree. C. The enzyme solution was stored at -80.degree. C.
The activity of aldose reductase was determined according to a slight modification of the method of J. H. Kinoshita et al [J. Biol. Chem., 240, 877 (1965)]. Namely, 0.1 ml of DL-glycerine aldehyde (final concentration: 10 mM) was added to 0.9 ml of 100 mM sodium potassium phosphate buffer (pH 6.2) which contained lithium sulfate (final concentration: 400 mM), reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (final concentration: 0.15 mM), the enzyme solution, and the compound to be tested (final concentration: 5.times.10.sup.-5 M or 10.sup.-6 M), and then the reaction was conducted at 30.degree. C. for 5 min. During this reaction, the absorbance at 340 nm was observed with the lapse of time. The maximum reducing rate of the absorbance (U) during the reaction was determined. By substracting, from this value, the maximum reducing rate (U.sub.o) at 340 nm of the reaction solution before the addition of the substrate (DL-glycerine aldehyde), the reaction rate (V) (V=U-U.sub.o) was calculated as a true reaction rate in the presence of the compound to be tested.
The same procedure was repeated except for the absence of the compound to be tested. A true reaction rate (V.sub.o) in case the enzyme was not inhibited was calculated (V.sub.o =U'-U.sub.o '). The inhibitory activity of aldose reductase was determined by the following formula. ##EQU1##
(2) Results
The results of Experiment 1 are shown in table 5.
The results show that the present compounds provide excellent aldose reductase inhibitory activity at a concentration of 5.times.10.sup.5 M or 1.times.10.sup.-6 M.

EXPERIMENT 2
(1) Test Procedure
In the same manner as Experiment 1, the inhibitions at final concentrations of 10.sup.-6, 10.sup.-7 and 10.sup.8 M for the compound to be tested were calculated. Based on these values, a concentration for inhibiting the aldose reductase activity by 50% (IC.sub.50 (M)) was calculated. As a control, the same experiment was conducted for the known aldose reductase inhibitor, ONO-2235[(E)-3-carboxymethyl-5-[(2E)-methyl-3-phenylpropenylidene]rhodanine].
(2) Results
The results are shown in Table 6 below. It is apparent that the present compounds provide aldose reductase inhibitory activity which are equivalent or superior to that of the known aldose reductase inhibitor (ONO-2235).
