Allopurinol is a xanthine-oxidase inhibitor
Allopurinol is a xanthine-oxidase inhibitor. Allopurinol and its main metabolite oxipuronol lower the level of uric acid in plasma and urine by inhibition of xanthine oxidase, the enzyme catalyzing the oxidation of hypoxanthine to xanthine and xanthine to uric acid. In addition to the inhibition of purine catabolism, in some but not all hyperuricaemic patients, de novo purine biosynthesis is depressed via feedback inhibition of hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase.
