ksantiinin
Ksantiinin is a naturally occurring purine derivative found in various organisms, including humans. It is a xanthine oxidase inhibitor, meaning it can block the activity of the enzyme xanthine oxidase. This enzyme plays a crucial role in the metabolism of purines, ultimately leading to the production of uric acid. By inhibiting xanthine oxidase, ksantiinin can reduce uric acid levels in the body.
The primary mechanism of action for ksantiinin involves binding to the active site of xanthine oxidase, preventing
Ksantiinin is structurally related to other xanthine derivatives like caffeine, theophylline, and theobromine, which are commonly
