Govorestat (AT-007) is an aldose reductase inhibitor and experimental drug to treat galactosemia[1] and sorbitol dehydrogenase deficiency.[2]

After a report circulating on the internet accused the developer Applied Therapeutics of cutting corners in its studies of the drug, the FDA put a hold on it in 2020. Applied Therapeutics said that the report was a fraudulent attempt to manipulate its stock price.[3]
