Message definition (Febuxostat)
== Pharmacology ==
=== Mechanism of action ===
Febuxostat is a non-purine-selective inhibitor of [[xanthine oxidase]]. It works by [[Non-competitive inhibition|non-competitively]] blocking the [[molybdenum pterin]] center, which is the active site of xanthine oxidase. Xanthine oxidase is needed to oxidize successively [[hypoxanthine]] and [[xanthine]] to uric acid. Thus, febuxostat inhibits xanthine oxidase, thereby reducing production of uric acid. Febuxostat inhibits both the oxidized and the reduced forms of xanthine oxidase by virtue of its tight binding to the molybdenum pterin site.
