    4 Drug and Medication Information
    4.1 Drug Indication

    At present (August 2013), there is no approved indication for uric acid. The potential therapeutic use for uric acid is as an adjunct in acute ischemic stroke.

    5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
    5.1 Pharmacology

    Uric acid is a strong reducing agent (donates electrons) and an antioxidant. Normally in humans, one of the main antioxidants in plasma is uric acid. Several animal studies have found that animals given exogenous uric acid within 3 hours after a stroke had decreased infarct volume, improved neurologic function, and diminished inflammatory responses providing evidence for the neuroprotective effects of uric acid. In some early human studies, uric acid has so far shown similar neuroprotective effects, in both the cortex and subcortex areas, due to its antioxidant effects such as decreased lipid peroxidation, and there appears to be no significant toxicities.

    5.2 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

    Antioxidants

    Naturally occurring or synthetic substances that inhibit or retard oxidation reactions. They counteract the damaging effects of oxidation in animal tissues. (See all compounds classified as Antioxidants.)

    5.3 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

    Route of Elimination

    Uric acid is eliminated by the kidneys.

    5.4 Metabolism/Metabolites

    In higher primates and humans, the enzyme, uricase, is absent, and thus uric acid is not further metabolized and is excreted. In all other mammals, uric acid is metabolized by uricase to allantoin, which is then excreted.

    5.5 Mechanism of Action

    The exact mechanism of action for uric acid's antioxidant effects have not yet been elucidated.
