Article Abstract
Human xanthine oxidase is considered to be a target for therapy of hyperuricemia. Cichorium intybus is a Chinese plant medicine which widely used in Xinjiang against various diseases. In order to screen the inhibitors of xanthine oxidase from C. intybus and to explore main pharmacological actions of cichory a compound collection of C. intybus was built via consulting related references about chemical research on cichory. The three-dimensional crystal structure of xanthine oxidase (PDB code: 1N5X) from Protein Data Bank was downloaded.. Autodock 4.2 was employed to screen the inhibitors of xanthine oxidase from cichory 70 compounds were found to possess quite low binding free energy comparing with TEI (febuxostat). C. intybus contains constituents possessing potential inhibitive activity against xanthine oxidase. It can explain the main pharmacological actions of cichory which can significantly lower the level of serum uric acid.

Globally, the South Asian Cocktail (SAC), a substance of abuse, is becoming popular. The effects of SAC on male fertility are unknown; however, its component pharmaceuticals, such as codeine, rohypnol, and promethazine, have been linked to male infertility. Thus, this study assessed SAC's influence and putative mechanisms on male fertility among SAC consumers.

This study developed an effective combination of and (SNE) and evaluated its anti-inflammatory and anti-hyperuricemic effects under conditions. First, the effect of SNE was tested on xanthine oxidase (XOD) activity. To investigate the anti-inflammatory effect of SNE, nitric oxide (NO) production was detected by Griess assay, and proinflammatory cytokines were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in RAW264.

Febuxostat is a non-purine xanthine oxidase inhibitor primarily used to treat gout and hyperuricaemia. Although it has a better safety profile compared to allopurinol, febuxostat has been associated with rare cases of drug-induced liver injury. We present a case of a man in his late 50s who developed liver injury after switching from allopurinol to febuxostat for gout management.
