Advanced glycation end products (AGE) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications. The purpose of this study was to examine the novel coumarin-aspirin compound XLF-III-43 in the inhibition of AGE formation in diabetic nephropathy. In vitro analysis showed XLF-III-43 in a dose-dependent manner decreased glucose induced formation of glycation adducts on albumin and inhibited AGE-lysozyme crosslinking. The streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats were used to investigate the beneficial effects of XLF-III-43 treatment on diabetic nephropathy. Administration of XLF-III-43 significantly decreased (P<0.05) blood urea nitrogen and urinary albumin excretion. Moreover, XLF-III-43 ameliorated kidney hypertrophy, mesangial expansion and glomerulosclerosis in diabetic rats relative to untreated model group. These data correlated with decreased both AGE and downstream markers of AGE stress (TGF-beta1, CTGF, fibronectin and collagen IV fibrolysis) in kidneys of diabetic rats. These data support further development of XLF-III-43 for prevention of nephropathy via inhibition of AGE formation consequent to chronic hyperglycemia.
