There is one exact (name or code) match for febuxostat

 

Class (Stereo):
CHEMICAL (ACHIRAL)



Febuxostat (ULORIC) is a novel, xanthine oxidase/dehydrogenase (XO/XDH) inhibitor being developed by Teijin, TAP Pharmaceuticals, and Ipsen for the treatment of gout. The currently available XO inhibitor, allopurinol, has been associated with serious instances of severe hypersensitivity, in some cases leading to fatalities. There is some suggestion that febuxostat is less prone to excacerbate systemic inflammatory events in animal studies. Febuxostat, a xanthine oxidase inhibitor, achieves its therapeutic effect by decreasing serum uric acid. Febuxostat is not expected to inhibit other enzymes involved in purine and pyrimidine synthesis and metabolism at therapeutic concentrations. Febuxostat is used for the treatment of hyperuricemia in patients with gout.

Class (Stereo):
CHEMICAL (ACHIRAL)



Allopurinol is a xanthine oxidase inhibitor used to decrease high blood uric acid levels. Allopurinol is specifically used to prevent gout, prevent specific types of kidney stones, and for the high uric acid levels that can occur with chemotherapy. Allopurinol acts on purine catabolism, without disrupting the biosynthesis of purines. 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 of xanthine to uric acid, the end product of purine metabolism in man. Allopurinol is metabolized to the corresponding xanthine analog, oxypurinol (Allopurinol), which also is an inhibitor of xanthine oxidase. Allopurinol is taken by mouth or injected into a vein. Common side effects, when used by mouth, include itchiness and rash. Common side effects when used by injection include vomiting and kidney problems.
