Xanthine oxidase inhibitor
Featured Products
Allopurinol (CAS No.: 315-30-0) is a xanthine oxidase inhibitor that suppresses uric acid synthesis and is widely used in the treatment of hyperuricemia and chronic gout. Its primary mechanism of action is inhibition of xanthine oxidase, blocking the conversion of hypoxanthine and xanthine to uric acid, thereby reducing serum uric acid levels. In vitro studies show that Allopurinol inhibits xanthine oxidase at low micromolar levels, with specific activity depending on experimental conditions and assay methods. In cellular and animal models, Allopurinol is commonly used to study purine metabolism, uric acid production, and the mechanisms of related diseases. The dose or concentration used in experiments typically depends on the experimental design and research objectives.
