Oxipurinol(INN,oroxypurinolUSAN) is aninhibitorofxanthine oxidase.[1]It is anactive metaboliteofallopurinoland it is cleared renally.[2]In cases of renal disease, this metabolite will accumulate to toxic levels. By inhibiting xanthine oxidase, it reducesuric acidproduction. High serum uric acid levels may result ingout,kidney stones,and other medical conditions.
