• The end product of purine catabolism is uric acid in humans.
• N excreted as uric acid is very little in humans, as humans are
ureotelic (nitrogen is excreted as urea).
• In birds, amphibians and reptiles are uricotelic – they excrete uric
acid as major end product of purine and amino acid catabolism.
• Lower primates and some mammals have the enzyme uricase which
converts uric acid to allantoin (which is more soluble).
Dr. N. Sivaranjani 7
Sources and excretion of Uric acid
Gut
Breakdown of Endogenous purine De novo synthesis – 400 mg
Diet -
300 mg
Purine nucleotides
URIC ACID
Uricolysis
Renal
Excretion
Catabolized
Body uric acid pool in Men 1200 mg,
Female – 600 mg

CO2 + NH3
Dr. N. Sivaranjani 8
Normal serum Uric acid concentration :
• 3 - 7 mg /dl in males , 2 - 5 mg/dl in females
• Uric acid pool –It is on average of 1200 mg
Excretion - 500 to 700 mg /day excreted
• Uric acid is cleared by both glomerular filtration and tubular
secretion.
• Uric acid acts as Natural ANTIOXIDANT
Dr. N. Sivaranjani 9
Hyperuricemia and gout:
• Hyperuricemia –
• increased serum uric acid levels above 7 mg/dl in
Men & above 6 mg/dl in women.
 Causes – Excessive Alcohol consumption, CRF,
inherited metabolic disorders, Malignancies, Pre-eclampsia.
 Gout is a metabolic disorder of purine catabolism, resulting in
overproduction of uric acid.
• At physiological pH , uric acid is found in a minimal soluble form as
Mono sodium urates – easily ppt at lower temperature.
Dr. N. Sivaranjani 10
• Types of gout :
 Primary gout :
 Inherited - 90% ,due to an Inborn error of metabolism caused by
defective enzymes of Purine synthesis.
 Idiopathic - 10 % cases
1) Variant form of PRPP synthetase- not subject to allosteric control.
2) Variant of PRPP glutamyl amidotransferase - not sensitive to
feedback control.
3) Glucose 6 phosphatase deficiency - Von Gierke’s disease
 G-6-P enters HMP shunt produces excess R-5-P & PRPP – purine overproduction.
 Lactic acidosis in Von Gierke’s disease – impairs UA excretion.
Dr. N. Sivaranjani 11
4) Deficiency of enzymes of salvage pathway –HGPRT deficiency
leading to Lesch-Nyhan syndrome.
 Dec. utilization of purines by salvage pathway – diverts PRPP to purine synthesis
 Dec. salvage pathway – dec. IMP & GMP – impairs feedback reg. of denovo
synthesis of purine – leads to overproduction of purines.
5) Elevation of Glutathione reductase
 It coverts oxidized Glutathione to reduced form by utilizing NADPH from HMP
shunt.
 Abnormal activity of GR - Inc. NADP+ - Inc. HMP shunt – which rises R-5-P and
PRPP synthesis – overproduction of purines.

 Secondary gout:
• Due to various disease causing increased synthesis or decreased excretion of uric
acid.
a) Overproduction of uric acid – due to enhanced turn over rate of
nucleic acids
i) Increased tissue turn over due to psoriasis.
ii) Rapidly growing malignant tissues - CANCER - Leukemias,
polycythemia, lymphomas.
iii) Increased tissue break down – after treatment for large tumor
masses –radiotherapy & chemotherapy, trauma and starvation.
Dr. N. Sivaranjani 14
b) Reduced excretion of uric acid
i) Chronic Renal failure due to reduced GFR.
ii) Increased alcohol consumption leads to lactic acidosis - Lactic acid
decreases tubular excretion of uric acid.
iii) Ketoacidosis – decreases the tubular excretion of uric acid
iv) Thiazide diuretics inhibits tubular secretion of uric acid.
Dr. N. Sivaranjani 15
Clinical features:
• Due to the low solubility of uric acid.
• More common in Males, post menopausal women.
• Typical gouty arthritis affects first metatarso
phalangeal joint (GREAT TOE) – Classical site
• In Gout , serum urate levels exceed solubility limit, leading to
formation of MSU crystals and get deposited in joints.
These deposits are called Tophi.
inflammation of joints
painful acute gouty arthritis chronic gouty arthritis.
• Other complications like urolithiasis and renal damage.Dr. N. Sivaranjani 16
increased serum uric acid
Mono-sodium urate crystals
Deposited in areas where body
temperature is lower – Tophi
Gouty arthritis
Deposited in Kidney
Renal calculi /stone
Renal damage
” redness, swelling, and pain“
-hallmarks of a gout attack.
Severe form – body uric acid
pool reach 20,000 -30,000 mg
Dr. N. Sivaranjani 17
Often HISTORY is - patient have few drinks at night , go to sleep symptomless ,
but are awakened during early hrs by severe joint pains.
• Hyperuricemia doesn't always cause gout. Over the course of yrs, sharp urate
crystals build up in the synovial fluid of the joints.
Precipitating event - infection, surgery, stress or often heavy ALCOHOL drink.
Dr. N. Sivaranjani 18
Investigations :
• Serum uric acid level -increased
• Microscopic Examination of Synovial
fluid reveals uric acid crystals - rod / needle –shaped crystals.
• Birefringent crystals under polar microscope is
diagnostic.
Dr. N. Sivaranjani 19
Treatment of gout :
• Low intake of Purine diet- like red meat, acidy fruits and
vegetables, lentils
• Restrict Alcohol
• Consume plenty of Water
Drugs:
1. Anti-inflammatory drugs - Colchicine is used for treatment of gouty
arthritis. NSAID - indomethacin , ibuprofen. Corticosteroids also
useful for acute attacks.
2. Uricosuric drugs – Probenecid.

3. Xanthine oxidase inhibitors – ALLOPURINOL
drug of choice for treatment of Gout.
It is structural analog of hypoxanthine.
Competitively inhibits XO enzyme.
Suicide inhibition
Hypoxanthine , Xanthine
are more soluble and
excreted in urine.
Dr. N. Sivaranjani 21
Pseudogout :
• Serum uric acid level normal.
• Symptoms as seen in gout.
• But it is characterized by deposition of calcium – pyrophosphate
crystals in joints.
Dr. N. Sivaranjani 22
Lesch-Nyhan syndrome:
• Inherited X-linked recessive disorder, affects only males
• Enzyme defect – hypoxanthine guanine phoshoribosyl transferase (HGPRT)
• Characterized by excess production of uric acid leads to GOUT.
• Self mutilation – bite their fingers and lips
• Neurological abnormalities like mental -retardation,
aggressive behavior , learning disabilities occur.
• Neurological symptoms may be due to dependence
of brain on the salvage pathway.
• Nephrolithiasis – leads to renal failure.
Dr. N. Sivaranjani 23
 Hypouricemia
Decreased in uric acid level
 Xanthinuria
• Xanthine oxidase deficiency, due to either genetic defect or due to severe
LIVER damage.
• Inc. excretion of xanthine & hypoxanthine
• So decreased uric acid
• Xanthine lithiasis occur in severe XO def.
Hypoxanthine Xanthine URIC ACID
XO XO
Dr. N. Sivaranjani 24
Adenosine deaminase deficiency
• Leads to Both T and B cells are dysfunctional – Severe Combined
Immunodeficiency (SCID )
Adenosine Inosine , dAdenosine dInosine
• Immune dysfunction is due to high levels of deoxy Adenosine
• Deoxyadenosine is converted to dAMP, dADP, dATP.
• dATP allosterically inhibits Ribonucleotide reductase - decreases
DNA synthesis.
ADA ADA
Dr. N. Sivaranjani 25
Purine-nucleoside phosphorylase deficeincy
• PNP deficiency
Inosine Hypoxanthine , Guanosine Guanine
uric acid formation is decreased.
• Impaired T-cells function with normal B cells function.
• Here dGTP accumulates which inhibits Ribonucleotide reductase.
PNP PNP
Dr. N. Sivaranjani 26
 ADA and PNP deficiency
• both are inherited as autosomal recessive
• Hypouricemia seen
• Both associated with symptoms of recurrent and chronic infections

Purine catabolism

  • 1. Catabolism of Purines & GOUT Dr. N. Sivaranjani Asst. Prof Dr. N. Sivaranjani 1
  • 2. • Nucleotides of cell undergo continual turnover. Nucleotides Nucleosides Free bases + R-1-P • Some of bases are reused to form nucleotides by Salvage pathway. • Others are degraded to products that are excreted. • Uric acid is end product of purine catabolism Nucleotidase Nucleoside Phosphorylase Dr. N. Sivaranjani 2
  • 3. AMP IMP Nucleotidase Nucleotidase H2O H2O Pi Pi Adenosine Inosine H2O Adenosine deaminase (ADA) NH4 Hypoxanthine Pi Purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP)Ribose 1 phosphateRibose N N N N NH2 Ribose N N N HN O NH N N HN O R-5-P N N N N NH2 Adenosine is not degraded by PNP, but converted to inosine & further metabolized Dr. N. Sivaranjani 3
  • 4. Hypoxanthine Xanthine Xanthine Oxidase H2O + O2 H2O2 H2O + O2 H2O2 Xanthine Oxidase URIC ACID GMP Nucleotidase Guanosine Guanine Guanine deaminase H2ONH3 Purine nucleoside phosphorylase H2O Pi Pi Ribose 1 phosphate 2,6,8 –trioxy purine N N N HN O NH N NH HN O NH NH NH HN O O O O NH N N HN O NH2 Dr. N. Sivaranjani 4
  • 5. AMP Adenosine Hypoxanthine Guanosine Guanine GMP Xanthine URIC ACID Purine Bases IMP Inosine XMP Xanthosine Adenine nucleotide are degraded as Hypoxanthine Guanine nucleotide are degraded as Xanthine Dr. N. Sivaranjani 5
  • 6. Xanthine oxidase • Found in LIVER & Small intestine • Metallo flavoprotein • Contains FAD, Molybdenum and Iron • This reaction produces H2O2 (reactive oxygen species) H2O2 H2O + O2 Catalase Hypoxanthine Xanthine URIC ACID XO XO Dr. N. Sivaranjani 6
  • 7. • The end product of purine catabolism is uric acid in humans. • N excreted as uric acid is very little in humans, as humans are ureotelic (nitrogen is excreted as urea). • In birds, amphibians and reptiles are uricotelic – they excrete uric acid as major end product of purine and amino acid catabolism. • Lower primates and some mammals have the enzyme uricase which converts uric acid to allantoin (which is more soluble). Dr. N. Sivaranjani 7
  • 8. Sources and excretion of Uric acid Gut Breakdown of Endogenous purine De novo synthesis – 400 mg Diet - 300 mg Purine nucleotides URIC ACID Uricolysis Renal Excretion Catabolized Body uric acid pool in Men 1200 mg, Female – 600 mg 2/3 CO2 + NH3 Dr. N. Sivaranjani 8
  • 9. Normal serum Uric acid concentration : • 3 - 7 mg /dl in males , 2 - 5 mg/dl in females • Uric acid pool –It is on average of 1200 mg Excretion - 500 to 700 mg /day excreted • Uric acid is cleared by both glomerular filtration and tubular secretion. • Uric acid acts as Natural ANTIOXIDANT Dr. N. Sivaranjani 9
  • 10. Hyperuricemia and gout: • Hyperuricemia – • increased serum uric acid levels above 7 mg/dl in Men & above 6 mg/dl in women.  Causes – Excessive Alcohol consumption, CRF, inherited metabolic disorders, Malignancies, Pre-eclampsia.  Gout is a metabolic disorder of purine catabolism, resulting in overproduction of uric acid. • At physiological pH , uric acid is found in a minimal soluble form as Mono sodium urates – easily ppt at lower temperature. Dr. N. Sivaranjani 10
  • 11. • Types of gout :  Primary gout :  Inherited - 90% ,due to an Inborn error of metabolism caused by defective enzymes of Purine synthesis.  Idiopathic - 10 % cases 1) Variant form of PRPP synthetase- not subject to allosteric control. 2) Variant of PRPP glutamyl amidotransferase - not sensitive to feedback control. 3) Glucose 6 phosphatase deficiency - Von Gierke’s disease  G-6-P enters HMP shunt produces excess R-5-P & PRPP – purine overproduction.  Lactic acidosis in Von Gierke’s disease – impairs UA excretion. Dr. N. Sivaranjani 11
  • 12. 4) Deficiency of enzymes of salvage pathway –HGPRT deficiency leading to Lesch-Nyhan syndrome.  Dec. utilization of purines by salvage pathway – diverts PRPP to purine synthesis  Dec. salvage pathway – dec. IMP & GMP – impairs feedback reg. of denovo synthesis of purine – leads to overproduction of purines. 5) Elevation of Glutathione reductase  It coverts oxidized Glutathione to reduced form by utilizing NADPH from HMP shunt.  Abnormal activity of GR - Inc. NADP+ - Inc. HMP shunt – which rises R-5-P and PRPP synthesis – overproduction of purines. Dr. N. Sivaranjani 12

Glucose 6 phosphate HMP shunt Ribose 5 phosphate NADP+ NADPH 2 GSH G-S-S-G PRPP PRPP synthetase Glutamine 5-Phosphoribosylamine Inosine monophosphate GMP AMP Adenine HypoxanthineXanthineURIC ACID XO XO Guanine HGPRT Hypoxanthine APRT PRPP Glutamyl amidotransferase Glutathione reductase Glucose G-6-phosphatase Dr. N. Sivaranjani 13
  • 14.  Secondary gout: • Due to various disease causing increased synthesis or decreased excretion of uric acid. a) Overproduction of uric acid – due to enhanced turn over rate of nucleic acids i) Increased tissue turn over due to psoriasis. ii) Rapidly growing malignant tissues - CANCER - Leukemias, polycythemia, lymphomas. iii) Increased tissue break down – after treatment for large tumor masses –radiotherapy & chemotherapy, trauma and starvation. Dr. N. Sivaranjani 14
  • 15. b) Reduced excretion of uric acid i) Chronic Renal failure due to reduced GFR. ii) Increased alcohol consumption leads to lactic acidosis - Lactic acid decreases tubular excretion of uric acid. iii) Ketoacidosis – decreases the tubular excretion of uric acid iv) Thiazide diuretics inhibits tubular secretion of uric acid. Dr. N. Sivaranjani 15
  • 16. Clinical features: • Due to the low solubility of uric acid. • More common in Males, post menopausal women. • Typical gouty arthritis affects first metatarso phalangeal joint (GREAT TOE) – Classical site • In Gout , serum urate levels exceed solubility limit, leading to formation of MSU crystals and get deposited in joints. These deposits are called Tophi. inflammation of joints painful acute gouty arthritis chronic gouty arthritis. • Other complications like urolithiasis and renal damage.Dr. N. Sivaranjani 16
  • 17. increased serum uric acid Mono-sodium urate crystals Deposited in areas where body temperature is lower – Tophi Gouty arthritis Deposited in Kidney Renal calculi /stone Renal damage ” redness, swelling, and pain“ -hallmarks of a gout attack. Severe form – body uric acid pool reach 20,000 -30,000 mg Dr. N. Sivaranjani 17
  • 18. Often HISTORY is - patient have few drinks at night , go to sleep symptomless , but are awakened during early hrs by severe joint pains. • Hyperuricemia doesn't always cause gout. Over the course of yrs, sharp urate crystals build up in the synovial fluid of the joints. Precipitating event - infection, surgery, stress or often heavy ALCOHOL drink. Dr. N. Sivaranjani 18
  • 19. Investigations : • Serum uric acid level -increased • Microscopic Examination of Synovial fluid reveals uric acid crystals - rod / needle –shaped crystals. • Birefringent crystals under polar microscope is diagnostic. Dr. N. Sivaranjani 19
  • 20. Treatment of gout : • Low intake of Purine diet- like red meat, acidy fruits and vegetables, lentils • Restrict Alcohol • Consume plenty of Water Drugs: 1. Anti-inflammatory drugs - Colchicine is used for treatment of gouty arthritis. NSAID - indomethacin , ibuprofen. Corticosteroids also useful for acute attacks. 2. Uricosuric drugs – Probenecid. Dr. N. Sivaranjani 20
  • 21. N H C C N N C C HN O N H C C C N N C HN O N H C C N N C C HN O Hypoxanthine Allopurinol Alloxanthine O H XO 3. Xanthine oxidase inhibitors – ALLOPURINOL drug of choice for treatment of Gout. It is structural analog of hypoxanthine. Competitively inhibits XO enzyme. Suicide inhibition Hypoxanthine , Xanthine are more soluble and excreted in urine. Dr. N. Sivaranjani 21
  • 22. Pseudogout : • Serum uric acid level normal. • Symptoms as seen in gout. • But it is characterized by deposition of calcium – pyrophosphate crystals in joints. Dr. N. Sivaranjani 22
  • 23. Lesch-Nyhan syndrome: • Inherited X-linked recessive disorder, affects only males • Enzyme defect – hypoxanthine guanine phoshoribosyl transferase (HGPRT) • Characterized by excess production of uric acid leads to GOUT. • Self mutilation – bite their fingers and lips • Neurological abnormalities like mental -retardation, aggressive behavior , learning disabilities occur. • Neurological symptoms may be due to dependence of brain on the salvage pathway. • Nephrolithiasis – leads to renal failure. Dr. N. Sivaranjani 23
  • 24.  Hypouricemia Decreased in uric acid level  Xanthinuria • Xanthine oxidase deficiency, due to either genetic defect or due to severe LIVER damage. • Inc. excretion of xanthine & hypoxanthine • So decreased uric acid • Xanthine lithiasis occur in severe XO def. Hypoxanthine Xanthine URIC ACID XO XO Dr. N. Sivaranjani 24
  • 25. Adenosine deaminase deficiency • Leads to Both T and B cells are dysfunctional – Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID ) Adenosine Inosine , dAdenosine dInosine • Immune dysfunction is due to high levels of deoxy Adenosine • Deoxyadenosine is converted to dAMP, dADP, dATP. • dATP allosterically inhibits Ribonucleotide reductase - decreases DNA synthesis. ADA ADA Dr. N. Sivaranjani 25
  • 26. Purine-nucleoside phosphorylase deficeincy • PNP deficiency Inosine Hypoxanthine , Guanosine Guanine uric acid formation is decreased. • Impaired T-cells function with normal B cells function. • Here dGTP accumulates which inhibits Ribonucleotide reductase. PNP PNP Dr. N. Sivaranjani 26
  • 27.  ADA and PNP deficiency • both are inherited as autosomal recessive • Hypouricemia seen • Both associated with symptoms of recurrent and chronic infections Dr. N. Sivaranjani 27
