Message definition (Xanthine oxidase inhibitor)
{{Short description|Substance that decreases activity of xanthine oxidase, an enzyme involved in purine metabolism}}
{{Drug List/ja}}

A xanthine oxidase inhibitor is any substance that inhibits the activity of xanthine oxidase, an enzyme involved in purine metabolism. In humans, inhibition of xanthine oxidase reduces the production of uric acid, and several medications that inhibit xanthine oxidase are indicated for treatment of hyperuricemia and related medical conditions including gout. Xanthine oxidase inhibitors are being investigated for management of reperfusion injury.
