Allopurinol-d2 is a deuterium-labeled version of Allopurinol, which is a potent xanthine oxidase inhibitor (IC50 values of 0.2 to 50 μM). It is utilized in research for hyperuricemia, gout, and exhibits antileishmanial effects. Deuterium substitution has been explored for its potential to influence the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs.
