The book "Xanthine Oxidase Inhibitory Activity of Certain Commercial Flavonoids" by Arumugam Madeswaran provides a comprehensive investigation of the xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity of certain flavonoids and related polyphenolic compounds. The study aims to develop novel inhibitors that can be clinically used for the treatment of gout and related inflammatory diseases. Through in silico and in vitro analyses, the effectiveness of these compounds is examined, particularly highlighting the stronger inhibitory effects of quercetin, catechin, kaempferol, and luteolin compared to the standard allopurinol. The results suggest that these compounds or their derivatives represent promising approaches for the development of clinically useful inhibitors. The book offers valuable insights into the mechanisms of inhibition and emphasizes the need for further research to identify potential chemical entities for clinical application.
