| Research Abstract |
We orally administered recently introduced potent xanthine oxidoreductase inhibitors, whose mechanisms of inhibition are well characterized, to ALS G1H-G93A mice. The results of modelexperiments indicated that orally administered non-purine analogue XOR inhibitors significantly delaythe disease progression. The protective effect is suggested to be due to increased removal ofaggregated protein accompany with change in purine metabolism by the experiment with modelsystems.
