Title
The role of xanthine oxidase inhibitors in patients with history of stroke: a systematic review
Review Question
Are xanthine oxidase inhibitors safe and effective for improving vascular function and outcomes in patients with history of stroke.
Study Type Included
We will include randomized, controlled, double-blinded trials that assess the use of allopurinol in patients with past history of stroke versus placebo.
Condition Being Studied
Stroke
Participant
Inclusion: > 18 years of age, previous history of stroke (ischemic, hemorrhagic, or transient ischemic attack)
Animal
Human Disease Modelled
Intervention
Xanthine oxidase inhibitors (XOI), such as allopurinol and febuxostat, are commonly used to lower SUA levels in patients with gout and cancer therapy-induced hyperuricemia. As epidemiologic studies have suggested that high SUA is associated with cardiovascular risk, XOI have been studied for their possible role in risk reduction and improved outcomes. Allopurinol is the most studied XOI for this indication. However, the potential mechanism of allopurinol in this role may not stem from its SUA lowering effects. Rather, it is hypothesized that allopurinol reduces vascular oxidative stress by blocking the formation of radical oxygen species (ROS) associated with the activity of xanthine oxidase. Given its demonstrated effects on endothelial function in a variety of cardiovascular disease states, allopurinol is a promising treatment for patients with history of stroke. This relatively inexpensive medication is very well tolerated within the normal dosing range of 100-300 mg daily, with the majority of adverse effects being rash, diarrhea, nausea, increased hepatic enzymes, and increased acute gout attacks.
