it inhibit xanthine oxidase from converting enzymes to uric acid,it is a structural isomer of hypoxantine and is an inhibitor of the enzyme xanthine oxidase, meaning it stops the enzyme xanthine oxidase from functioning correctly. xanthine oxidase converts hypoxathine to xanthine and xanthine to uric acid, uric acid is a product of broken down foods and cells that are excreted by the kidneys, so too much uric acid in the blood builds up around the joints causes the pain and swelling associated.
