All rights reserved 0891-5849/02/$–see front matter PII S0891-5849(02)00956-5 Review Article STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF XANTHINE OXIDOREDUCTASE: WHERE ARE WE NOW? ROGER HARRISON Department of Biology and Biochemistry, University of Bath, Bath, UK (Received 11 February 2002; Accepted 16 May 2002) Abstract—Xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) is a complex molybdoflavoenzyme, present in milk and many other tissues, which has been studied for over 100 years. While it is generally recognized as a key enzyme in purine catabolism, its structural complexity and specialized tissue distribution suggest other functions that have never been fully identified. The publication, just over 20 years ago, of a hypothesis implicating XOR in ischemia-reperfusion injury focused research attention on the enzyme and its ability to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS). Since that time a great deal more information has been obtained concerning the tissue distribution, structure, and enzymology of XOR, particularly the human enzyme. XOR is subject to both pre- and post-translational control by a range of mechanisms in response to hormones, cytokines, and oxygen tension. Of special interest has been the finding that XOR can catalyze the reduction of nitrates and nitrites to nitric oxide (NO), acting as a source of both NO and peroxynitrite. The concept of a widely distributed and highly regulated enzyme capable of generating both ROS and NO is intriguing in both physiological and pathological contexts. The details of these recent findings, their pathophysiological implications, and the requirements for future research are addressed in this review.

  • MIRADON FPO Brand of Anisindione Tablets
    R 1 2 3 4 5 3 4 F-16099775 1898 ® MIRADON FPO brand of anisindione Tablets DESCRIPTION MIRADON Tablets contain a syn- thetic anticoagulant, anisindione, an indanedione derivative. Each tablet contains 50 mg anisin- dione. They also contain: corn starch, FD&C Red No. 3, gelatin, lactose, and hydrogenated cotton- seed oil. ACTIONS Like phenindione, to which it is re- lated chemically, anisindione exercises its thera- peutic action by reducing the prothrombin activity of the blood. INDICATIONS Anisindione is indicated for the prophylaxis and treatment of venous thrombosis and its extension, the treatment of atrial fibrilla- tion with embolization, the prophylaxis and treat- ment of pulmonary embolism, and as an adjunct in the treatment of coronary occlusion. CONTRAINDICATIONS All contraindications to oral anticoagulant therapy are relative rather than absolute. Contraindications should be evaluated for each patient, giving consideration to the need for and the benefits to be achieved by anticoagu- lant therapy, the potential dangers of hemor- rhage, the expected duration of therapy, and the quality of patient monitoring and compliance. Hemorrhagic Tendencies or Blood Dyscrasias: In general, oral anticoagulants are contraindi- cated in patients who are bleeding or who have hemorrhagic blood dyscrasias or hemorrhagic tendencies (eg, hemophilia, polycythemia vera, purpura, leukemia) or a history of bleeding dia- thesis. They are contraindicated in patients with recent cerebral hemorrhage, active ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract, including ulcerative colitis, or open ulcerative, traumatic, or surgical wounds. Oral anticoagulants may be contraindi- cated in patients with recent or contemplated brain, eye, or spinal cord surgery or prostatec- tomy, and in those undergoing regional or lumbar block anesthesia or continuous tube drainage of the small intestine.
