Oxonic acid-13C2,15N3 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of oxonic acid (potassium salt) (Item No. 22586) by GC- or LC-MS. Oxonic acid is a uricase inhibitor (IC50 = 0.8 µM) that prevents metabolism and excretion of uric acid.1,2 It also inhibits orotate phosphoribosyltransferase (ORPT), reducing OPRT-mediated phosphorylation of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU; Item No. 14416) in Yoshida sarcoma cell extracts with an IC50 value of 3.7 µM.3 Oxonic acid (10-50 mg/kg) decreases the severity of gastrointestinal tract injury and the incidence of diarrhea induced by the 5-FU prodrug tegafur (Item No. 26076) and uracil (Item No. 26088) without loss of antitumor activity in a rat Yoshida sarcoma model. It has also been used to induce hyperuricemia in rodents.4 Formulations containing oxonic acid have been used in the treatment of head, neck, lung, pancreatic, gastric, and breast carcinomas.
