Description

Allopurinol is a xanthine oxidase inhibitor that is administered orally. It acts on purine catabolism without disrupting the biosynthesis of purine. It reduces the production of uric acid by inhibiting the biochemical reactions immediately preceding its formation. Allopurinol is a structural analog of the natural purine base, hypoxanthine. It is an inhibitor of xanthine oxidase, the enzyme responsible for the conversion of hypoxanthine to xanthine and xanthine to uric acid, the end product of purine metabolism
