Relationships Between Allopurinol Dose, Oxypurinol Concentration and Urate‐Lowering Response—In Search of a Minimum Effective Oxypurinol Concentration [PDF]
The aims of this study were to determine factors that predict serum urate (SU) lowering response to allopurinol and the conversion of allopurinol to oxypurinol, and to determine a minimum therapeutic oxypurinol concentration.

Response to Allopurinol and Febuxostat According to the Fractional Excretion of Urate in Men With Gout. [PDF]
Objective Body mass index (BMI), glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and pretreatment urate levels have been reported to influence the urate‐lowering response to allopurinol. We investigated whether the fractional excretion of uric acid (FEUA) also modulates this response and relates to oxypurinol concentrations.

Reduced Serum Urate Concentrations Despite Unchanged Allopurinol Dosing in Gout Patients Commenced on Dialysis: A Retrospective Chart Review. [PDF]
The study investigated allopurinol dosing practises and serum urate concentrations in gout patients with kidney failure following commencing dialysis. Results showed allopurinol dose was most commonly 100 mg, unadjusted upon commencing dialysis. However, serum urate concentrations significantly declined as patients commenced dialysis with more than 50%

A Pharmacometric Workflow for Resolving Model Instability in Model Use-Reuse Settings. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The development of fit‐for‐purpose pharmacokinetic‐pharmacodynamic (PKPD) models based on clinical and pre‐clinical data is a critically important process in model informed drug development. This process is often hampered by modeling stability issues that are often multifactorial in nature and difficult to overcome, leading to protracted model

An association study of ABCG2 rs2231142 on the concentrations of allopurinol and its metabolites
ABCG2 is a gene that codes for the human breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP). It is established that rs2231142 G>T, a single nucleotide polymorphism of the ABCG2 gene, is associated with gout and poor response to allopurinol, a uric acid‐lowering ...

Females present a higher risk of adverse drug reactions. Sex‐related differences in drug concentrations may contribute to these observations but they remain understudied given the underrepresentation of females in clinical trials.

Xanthine oxidase and aldehyde oxidase contribute to allopurinol metabolism in rats
Background Allopurinol is used to treat hyperuricemia and gout. It is metabolized to oxypurinol by xanthine oxidase (XO), and aldehyde oxidase (AO). Allopurinol and oxypurinol are potent XO inhibitors that reduce the plasma uric acid levels.

Pharmacodynamics of oxypurinol after administration of allopurinol to healthy subjects [PDF]
1 Eight healthy subjects received 50, 100, 300, 600 and 900 mg allopurinol daily for 1 week each, in random order with 1 week separating each treatment period. The pre‐dose plasma concentration of oxypurinol, the extent of inhibition of xanthine oxidase, plasma urate concentration and urine urate excretion rate were assessed on the last 2 days of each
