    a non purine compound and selective inhibitor of xanthine oxidase that has been developed for the treatment of hyperurecemia and gout. It has been found to have inhibitory activity for xanthine oxidase(XO)/xanthine dehydrogenase(XDH) during evaluation of a range of newly synthesized molecules. In humans, the xanthine oxidoreductase enzyme(XOR) catalyzes the last 2 steps in uric acid synthesis,the oxidation of hypoxanthine to xanthine and xanthine to uric acid. febuxostat was shown to inhibit both

    Question 2 - Inosine in AMP catabolism  Introduction Adenosine monophosphate (from now on referred to as AMP) is the lowest energy-containing nucleotide found in living organisms. In its degradation process (Figure 1), several enzymes and intermediates are required, playing important roles that regulate the correct functioning of the overall process. An alteration in any of those participants can cause severe consequences, such as immunosuppression. Inosine is one of those previously mentioned intermediates

  • Enzymes: Biological Catalysts

    2446 Words  | 10 Pages

    An enzyme can be regarded as a catalyst for a biochemical reaction, or more simply, a biological catalyst. Its sole purpose is to increase the rate of a reaction, or speed up the reaction via provision of an alternative reactive pathway, which entails a lower activation energy. Enzymes participate in the reaction itself, enabling the occurrence of an alternate pathways of reaction, but they do not attain permanent changes to their structure or nature, and as a result remain unchanged preceding a

  • Caffeine Case Study

    1. Introduction Caffeine (1, 3, 7-trimethylxantheine) is a xanthine derivative and member of a class of drugs known as methylxanthines (Sutor, 1958). Caffeine is a plant alkaloid and was isolated from plants as a white crystalline substance for the first time in 1820 by Ferdinand Runge. Simillar compound was isolated from tea (Camellia sinensis) in 1827 by Oudry. However, in 1832 Pfaff and Liebig identify caffeine as a purine compound, and IUPAC name 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine was denominated (Mazzafera
