Allopurinol is an organic compound that is primarily used as an anti-gout drug.
Gout Treatment: Allopurinol is prescribed to reduce uric acid levels in the body, thereby treating gout and preventing gout attacks.
Hyperuricemia Management: It is used to manage hyperuricemia, a condition characterized by excessively high levels of uric acid in the blood.
Cancer Therapy Adjuvant: In cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy, Allopurinol can help prevent increased uric acid levels resulting from cell necrosis.
Xanthine Oxidase Inhibition: Allopurinol acts as a potent inhibitor of xanthine oxidase, the enzyme responsible for converting hypoxanthine to xanthine and further to uric acid.
Uric Acid Reduction: By inhibiting xanthine oxidase, Allopurinol reduces the production of uric acid, leading to lower serum uric acid levels.
Anti-inflammatory and Antioxidant Effects: Research suggests that Allopurinol may also exhibit anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, contributing to its therapeutic benefits in various conditions.
