Simultaneous Determination of Uric Acid, Xanthine and Hypoxanthine in Human Plasma and Serum by HPLC–UV: Uric Acid Metabolism Tracking

TLDR
A simple reversed phase HPLC method with UV detection in isocratic conditions was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of hypoxanthine, xanthine and uric acid levels in human plasma and serum.
Abstract
A simple reversed phase HPLC method with UV detection in isocratic conditions was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of hypoxanthine, xanthine and uric acid levels in human plasma and serum. One analysis run takes 6.5 min including a short organic mobile phase gradient for column regeneration. Concentrations of uric acid, xanthine and hypoxanthine in plasma and serum samples were highly comparable. However, hypoxanthine levels were increased in serum compared to plasma samples due to a prolonged time between serum and blood elements separation. The method was validated for linearity, precision, accuracy, sensitivity and robustness in a similar manner to that for pharmacokinetic data and it is appropriate for physiological and pathophysiological levels of all analytes. The stability of stock standard solutions was verified using spectrophotometric analysis in different conditions. The method is simple and robust with a good precision for the measurement of hypoxanthine, xanthine and uric acid in human plasma and serum.

Uric acid provides an antioxidant defense in humans against oxidant- and radical-caused aging and cancer: a hypothesis.

TL;DR: It is shown that, at physiological concentrations, urate reduces the oxo-heme oxidant formed by peroxide reaction with hemoglobin, protects erythrocyte ghosts against lipid peroxidation, and protects ERYthrocytes from peroxidative damage leading to lysis.

Uric acid: A new look at an old risk marker for cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes mellitus: The urate redox shuttle

TL;DR: Elevations of uric acid > 4 mg/dl should be considered a "red flag" in those patients at risk for cardiovascular disease and should alert the clinician to strive to utilize a global risk reduction program in a team effort to reduce the complications of the atherogenic process resulting in the morbid – mortal outcomes of cardiovascular disease.
