In vitro study | Uric acid is an endogenous antioxidant that scavenges reactive oxygen species (ROS) including singlet oxygen, oxygen radicals, and peroxynitrite. Incubation with indomethacin significantly increases malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in Caco-2 cells compare to those not treated indomethacin. Incubation with both indomethacin and Uric acid significantly decreases MDA levels compare to those grown in the presence of indomethacin alone. Co-treatment of cells with indomethacin and Uric acid significantly decreases ROS levels compare to those in cells incubated with indomethacin alone. Cell viability in Caco-2 cells treated with both indomethacin and Uric acid is higher than that in cells treated with indomethacin alone. Uric acid has a protective effect on indomethacin-induced intestinal cell changes through its antioxidant activity. |
In vivo study | When mice treated with indomethacin are concurrently administered Uric acid orally, ulcer areas are significantly reduced, in a Uric acid dose-dependent manner. Indomethacin increases the ratio of crypt depth to villous height in the ileum, while the ratio is significantly lower when mice are concurrently administered Uric acid orally. Administration of indomethacin also increases the histopathological score of tissue damage in the small intestine, while mice concurrently administered Uric acid orally has a significantly lower histopathological score. The ileal levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) in indomethacin-induced enteropathy model mice orally administered Uric acid are also significantly lower than the levels in mice administered indomethacin alone. |

Toxicity | A nitrogenous end product and the principal excretory product of purine metabolism in mammals. In birds and reptiles, it is the principal end product of nitrogen metabolism in general. Defects in uric acid metabolism and excretion appear to be associated with a number of disease states, and it frequently occurs as a component of renal calculi. It has not been associated closely with toxic insults except in the case of lead poisoning. Lead causes an elevation in blood uric acid concentration (uric acidemia) and a decrease in uric acid excretion. |

Introduction | uric acid is the end product of purine metabolism, 80% of total uric acid in the body is produced by nuclear protein catabolism, 20% by the intake of food rich in purine catabolism. Uric acid is substantially present in the blood in the free form of the monosodium salt of uric acid and is therefore also referred to as uric acid. |
biological activity | Uric acid is an endogenous antioxidant that scavenges reactive oxygen species (ROS), included are singlet oxygen, oxygen radicals, and peroxynitrite. |
Use | as an analytical reagent, also used in organic synthesis as a standard solution for the determination of uric acid |
production method | 1. Dry chicken manure was suspended in 24 times the amount of water, added with an appropriate amount of calcium hydroxide, and allowed to stand.
