Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is the most common complication of diabetes mellitus. Epalrestat, an aldose reductase inhibitor, has been approved for clinical therapy for diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain. In the present study, solid lipid-based nanoparticles are used for oral administration of epalrestat (E-SLN) and evaluated against diabetic neuropathic pain in a rat model.
