Antileishmanial effect of allopurinol.
Allopurinol (4-hydroxypyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine) has been shown to inhibit the growth of Leishmania braziliensis in vitro at concentrations which are attainable in human tissues and body fluids. This compound is believed to act by interdicting the de novo synthesis of pyrimidines, probably through the formation of allopurinol ribotide. Its lack of toxicity makes it a potential candidate for ani...

متن کاملInteraction between allopurinol and pyrazinamide.
Pyrazinamide (PZA) is increasingly used with isoniazid and rifampicin, in short-course antituberculous chemotherapy in service programme conditions. Complicating arthralgias occur due to hyperuricaemia induced by the inhibition of renal tubular secretion of uric acid by pyrazinoic acid, the main PZA metabolite. Allopurinol (Al), a hypouricaemic agent, provides no substantial clinical improvemen...
