Research Area: Metabolic Disease
Biological Activity:
Febuxostat (Uloric) is a non-purine selective XAO inhibitor with IC50 of 114 -210 nM.It works by non-competitively blocking the channel leading to the active site on xanthine oxidase. [1] Xanthine oxidase is needed to successively oxidize both hypoxanthine and xanthine to uric acid. Hence, febuxostat inhibits xanthine oxidase, therefore reducing production of uric acid. [2][3]

F229000 

Xanthine oxidase/xanthine dehydrogenase inhibitor. Used for treatment of hyperuricemia and chronic gout.

CHEBI:31596 

A 1,3-thiazolemonocarboxylic acid that is 4-methyl-1,3-thiazole-5-carboxylic acid which is substituted by a 3-cyano-4-(2-methylpropoxy)phenyl group at position 2. It is an orally-active, potent, and selective xanthine oxidase inhibitor used for the treatment of chronic hyperuricaemia in patients with gout.
