Ranirestat (AS-3201) is an aldose reductase (AR) inhibitor. Aldose reductase is a rate-limiting enzyme in the conversion of D-glucose to fructose via D-sorbitol. Ranirestat has been implicated in diabetic complications (cataract formation, retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy). Ranirestat prevents sorbitol accumulation and is thus hoped to be effective in the remedy of diabetic neuropathy.
