General description
Xanthine is a purine that can be produced in the purine metabolic pathway via different precursors:
- Guanine deamination by guanine deaminase
- Hypoxanthine conversion by xanthine oxidoreductase
Xanthine or its derivatives are naturally present in animal organs, yeast, potatoes, coffee beans, and tea.
Application
Xanthine has been used as a substrate for the determination of xanthine oxidase (XOD) inhibitory activity. It has also been used in the following systems:
- yeast culture
- human cell line culture
- recombinant viruses cloned as bacterial artificial chromosomes in Escherichia coli
Biochem/physiol Actions
Xanthine and xanthine oxidase are used to generate superoxide radicals to measure the activity of superoxide dismutase.
Features and Benefits
