Application

Oxonic acid potassium salt is an inhibitor of uricase. The product from Sigma has been used for the inhibition of 5-fluorouracil-induced gastrointestinal toxicity without the loss of its antitumor activity in rats. It has also been used to induce hyperuricemia in rats; as it inhibits uric acid metabolism.
