Serum uric acid (SUA) concentrations are higher in APDKD patients than

  • controls. (Mej ias et al. Hyperuricemia, gout, and

autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. Am J Med Sci 1989; 297: 145– 148)

Higher SUA is associated with increased kidney volumes, increased End S tage Renal Disease (ES RD), and ADPKD disease

  • progression. (Helal, 2013)

Increased SUA is strongly associated with endothelial dysfunction (ED) via decreased nitric oxide bioavailability.

(Khosla, 2005, Zoccali 2006, Kurowska 2002, Portaluppi 2004)

In early stage ADPKD patients, uric acid levels (p<0.001) and eGFR (p<0.001) predict ED. (Kocygit et al. Clinical Practice, Nephron

Clin Pract 123:157-164, 2013.)

Decreasing uric acid in ADPKD patients reverses the rate of glomerular filtration rate decline. (Han et al.)

Effect of Xanthine Oxidase Inhibition in Influenza in Mice

Purpose: Evaluate biochemical parameters of influenza virus lung infection Model: sBALF – influenza virus infected mice Biochemical Characteristics: After infection, mice showed 170x increase in adensine deaminase (ADA) and 400 fold increase in Xanthine Oxidase (XO) activity per volume of alveolar lavage fluid Results:

  • XO activity peaked at day six of infection.
  • ADA metabolites were increased: inosine, hypoxanthine,

xanthine and uric acid in serum.

  • Uric acid treatment improved survival rate of influenza virus

infected mice. Conclusion: Increased nucleotide turnover in influenza virus and oxygen radical generation is a pathogenic principle in influenza virus infection.

Effect of Xanthine Oxidase Inhibition in Herpes Infection

Purpose: Evaluate effect of XOI on Herpes Infection: duration, severity, recurrence. Model: Humans with Recurrent Herpes labialis (RHL). RHL Characteristics: Recurrence, pain, severity are key issues with RHL given oral allopurinol 3x per day 300 mg for 5 days of treatment. Results:

  • XO activity decreased duration of recurrence by 2-4 days

(~25% reduction)

  • XO decreased severity of lesions (~30%

reduction)

  • XO terminated progression (81.6%

showed aborted lesions) Conclusion: Five days of oral XOI at 300 X T .I.D resulted in decreased recurrence, severity and duration of infection.

In the setting of acute tissue inj ury - Oxypurinol inhibits break down of purine and pyrimidine nucleotides to uric acid, decreasing the production of uric acid and serum uric acid from reaching saturation and crystal formation. Blocks Acute Kidney Inj ury in the setting of active tissue inj ury due to Coronavirus infection.

Elion 1968, Nobel Prize for Rational Design

Oxypurinol inhibits synthesis of purine and pyrimidines (1), suggesting that the supply

  • f nucleotides necessary for replication of RNA and DNA and formation of viral particles

may be diminished.
