“…In general, topiroxostat analogues were not as abundant as febuxostat analogues, a typical representative is the pyridyl-1,2,4triazoles reported by Takahiro Sato et al [19] which possess excellent potency ( Figure 1). Furthermore, other XO inhibitors with various structural classes have also been recently published, including isocytosines, [5,[20][21][22] N-(1,3-diaryl-3oxo-propyl)amides, [23] N-acetyl pyrazolines, [24] hydroxylated chalcones, [25] 9-deazaguanines, [26] benzimidazoles, [27] flavonoids, [28,29] fraxamosides, [30] pyrano [3,2-d]pyrimidines, [31] 2-arylbenzo[b]furans [32] , and benzaldehydes. [33] We have focused on the structural modifications of fivemembered ring and the structure activity relationship (SAR) investigations of classical XO inhibitors.…”
