Oxypurinol-₁₃C,₁₅N₂  (Synonyms: Oxypurinol-₁₃C,₁₅N₂)

Oxypurinol-¹³C,¹⁵N₂ is ¹⁵N and ¹³C labeled Oxypurinol (HY-19657). Oxipurinol (Oxipurinol), the major active metabolite of Allopurinol, is an inhibitor of xanthine oxidase. Oxipurinol can be used to regulate blood urate levels and treat gout^[1].

Stable heavy isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, and other elements have been incorporated into drug molecules, largely as tracers for quantitation during the drug development process. Deuteration has gained attention because of its potential to affect the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs^[1].
Allopurinol is rapidly metabolized (half-life approximately 1 h) to its active metabolite oxypurinol. Oxypurinol is an inhibitor of xanthine oxidoreductase and has a considerably longer elimination half-life (approximately 23 h)^[2].
