Role of urate, xanthine oxidase and the effects of allopurinol in vascular oxidative stress [PDF]
Oxidative stress plays an important role in the progression of vascular endothelial dysfunction. The two major systems generating vascular oxidative stress are the NADPH oxidase and the xanthine oxidase pathways. Allopurinol, a xanthine oxidase inhibitor,

Allopurinol Induction on Histopathological Structure of the Liver in Male Mice (Mus musculus)
Allopurinol is used to reduce total uric acid levels in the body into oxypurinol which can inhibit xanthine oxidase. Allopurinol inhibits the precursors of uric acid formation, xanthine, and hypoxanthine.
