Clinical therapeutics Any of a family of compounds–eg, epalrestat, ponalrestat, sorbinil, tolrestat, which block aldose reductase; ↑ intracellular glucose leads to ↑ sorbitol, which competitively inhibits glomerular and neural synthesis of myo-inositol; the ↓ in myo-inositol synthesis depresses phosphoinositide metabolism, and ↓ in Na+K+-ATPase activity; ARIs do not prevent the complications of type 1 DM See Aldose reductase.
