Synthesis and biological evaluation of xanthine oxidase inhibitors. Pyrazolo(3,4-d)pyrimidines and pyrazolo(3,4-b)pyridines. 1975

I Chu, and B M Lynch

1-, 3-, and 5-substituted pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines and pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines related to allopurinol were synthesized and evaluated as xanthine oxidase inhibitors. Among these compounds, 4-hydroxypyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-5-carboxylic acids 12 were found to possess potency in the same order of allopurinol. The influence of the substitutions on the enzyme inhibitory effect and the bulk tolerance of the enzyme-inhibitor complex are discussed.

D011485	Protein Binding	The process in which substances, either endogenous or exogenous, bind to proteins, peptides, enzymes, protein precursors, or allied compounds. Specific protein-binding measures are often used as assays in diagnostic assessments.	Plasma Protein Binding Capacity,Binding, Protein
D011720	Pyrazoles	Azoles of two nitrogens at the 1,2 positions, next to each other, in contrast with IMIDAZOLES in which they are at the 1,3 positions.
D011725	Pyridines	Compounds with a six membered aromatic ring containing NITROGEN. The saturated version is PIPERIDINES.
D011743	Pyrimidines	A family of 6-membered heterocyclic compounds occurring in nature in a wide variety of forms. They include several nucleic acid constituents (CYTOSINE; THYMINE; and URACIL) and form the basic structure of the barbiturates.
D001665	Binding Sites	The parts of a macromolecule that directly participate in its specific combination with another molecule.	Combining Site,Binding Site,Combining Sites,Site, Binding,Site, Combining,Sites, Binding,Sites, Combining
D013329	Structure-Activity Relationship	The relationship between the chemical structure of a compound and its biological or pharmacological activity. Compounds are often classed together because they have structural characteristics in common including shape, size, stereochemical arrangement, and distribution of functional groups.

D014969	Xanthine Oxidase	An iron-molybdenum flavoprotein containing FLAVIN-ADENINE DINUCLEOTIDE that oxidizes hypoxanthine, some other purines and pterins, and aldehydes. Deficiency of the enzyme, an autosomal recessive trait, causes xanthinuria.
