Abstract: In healthy people, glucose is metabolized through Embden-Meyerhoff pathway. In cases of diabetes mellitus, with the increased levels of glucose in insulin-insensitive tissues the Aldose Reductase (AR) in polyol pathway facilitates the conversion of glucose to sorbitol. In this cascade of events the accumulated sorbitol is attributed to be responsible for cataract, neuropathy and retinopathy in diabetic cases.1,2 Thus, the inhibition of AR in polyol pathway may prevent and lead to the cure of the complications arising out of the diabetes mellitus. In this background, Matsuda and coworkers3 studied the AR inhibitory activity of large number of flavones and related compounds from traditional antidiabetic remedies. Here, many of these compounds shared 2-Aryl-benzpyran-4-one as scaffold for different chemical groups surrounding this moiety. This offers scope to investigate the AR inhibitory activity of these compounds in relation to the functional group environment surrounding this core
