Allopurinol Sodium is a water-soluble salt form of allopurinol, a well-known xanthine oxidase inhibitor used primarily to treat hyperuricemia and prevent gout. By inhibiting xanthine oxidase, it reduces the production of uric acid, thereby preventing the formation of urate crystals in the joints and kidneys. The sodium salt enhances its solubility, making it easier to formulate for intravenous or other pharmaceutical preparations. Allopurinol Sodium is also employed in research settings to study purine metabolism and for potential applications in treating kidney stones, certain cancers, and other conditions associated with high uric acid levels.
