Febuxostat is a potent, selective, non-purine inhibitor of xanthine oxidase (XO) and xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH), with an inhibition constant (Ki) of 0.6nM against XO[1]. Febuxostat binds the molybdenum-pterin center of oxidized and reduced xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR), suppressing hypoxanthine-to-xanthine and xanthine-to-uric-acid conversion and reducing endothelial-bound XOR-derived reactive oxygen species (ROS)[1,4]. Febuxostat is used in research on purine and urate metabolism, macrophage inflammation, endothelial oxidative injury, atherosclerosis, and hyperuricemia-associated cardiorenal injury[1-7].
In vitro, Febuxostat (30μM; 10min pretreatment followed by 100ng/mL lipopolysaccharide for 20h) reduced monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) production in phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate-differentiated THP-1 macrophages, increased mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase-1 (MKP-1) activity, and reduced c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) phosphorylation[2]. Febuxostat (200μM; 30min pretreatment followed by 2.5μM nigericin or 0.25mg/mL monosodium urate crystals for 2h) reduced interleukin-1β (IL-1β) secretion and cell death in murine bone-marrow-derived macrophages and preserved intracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and mitochondrial membrane potential[5]. Febuxostat (5μM and 10μM; 6h) reduced oxidized low-density lipoprotein-induced mitochondrial ROS production, cellular injury, and monocyte attachment in human aortic valve endothelial cells[6].
In vivo, Febuxostat (2.5mg/kg/day; oral intake in drinking water once daily for 12 weeks) reduced aortic plaque area and arterial ROS, decreased aortic MCP-1 expression, and improved endothelial-dependent relaxation in apolipoprotein E-deficient (ApoE-/-) mice fed a high-cholesterol diet[3]. Febuxostat (approximately 3mg/kg/day; oral intake in drinking water once daily for 8 weeks) reduced serum uric acid and proteinuria, attenuated glomerular, tubulointerstitial, and renal arteriolar injury, and reduced cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis in hyperuricemic 5/6-nephrectomized Sprague-Dawley rats[7].
