Product Data:
Biological target: Febuxostat (TEI 6720) is selective xanthine oxidase inhibitor with a Ki of 0.6 nM.
In vitro activity: The gene expression level of iNOS was significantly increased by stimulation with IL-18 but greatly suppressed by the introduction of Febuxostat (Figure 4A). The increased release of NO induced by stimulation with IL-18 was significantly inhibited in the presence of Febuxostat (Figure 4B). Reference: Am J Transl Res. 2021; 13(3): 979–987. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8014396/
In vivo activity: The gingival expression of TNF-α, IL-1β, 4-HNE, and 8-OHdG was up-regulated in rats with periodontitis. Febuxostat significantly reduced alveolar bone loss, proinflammatory cytokine levels, and oxidative stress. Reference: Pharmacology. 2021;106(5-6):294-304. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33735887/
