QUICK LINKS

Benzbromarone is a uricosuric agent that functions by inhibiting the reabsorption of uric acid in the kidneys, leading to increased excretion of uric acid in the urine. It achieves this by blocking the action of the organic anion transporter URAT1, which is responsible for the reabsorption of uric acid from the renal tubules. By inhibiting URAT1, benzbromarone promotes the elimination of uric acid, thereby reducing serum uric acid levels. This mechanism of action at the molecular level results in a decrease in the concentration of uric acid in the blood, making it useful for studying the regulation of uric acid metabolism in experiments. Benzbromarone may have an inhibitory effect on xanthine oxidase, an enzyme involved in the production of uric acid, further contributing to its role in modulating uric acid levels in applications.
