Toxicity A nitrogenous end product and the principal excretory product of purine metabolism in mammals. In birds and reptiles, it is the principal end product of nitrogen metabolism in general. Defects in uric acid metabolism and excretion appear to be associated with a number of disease states, and it frequently occurs as a component of renal calculi. It has not been associated closely with toxic insults except in the case of lead poisoning. Lead causes an elevation in blood uric acid concentration (uric acidemia) and a decrease in uric acid excretion.

Uric acid Chemical Properties,Uses,Production

Chemical Properties

Uric acid (C5H4O3N4) is a white solid that is insoluble in cold water, alcohol, or ether and sparingly soluble in hot water. It acts as a weak dibasic acid, creating two series of salts, with most being very slightly soluble in water (except for lithium urate, which is soluble).

Occurrence

Uric acid is found in the urine, blood, and muscle juices of carnivorous animals (herbivorous animals secrete hippuric acid), in the excrement of birds, serpents and insects, and is an oxidation product of the complex nitrogenous compounds of the animal organism.

Uses

Uric Acid is a heterocyclcic compound that is created when purine nucleotides are broken down of by the human body. High blood concetration of Uric Acid is known as hyperuricemia and is often associated with a wide range of disorders and medical conditions such as gout, diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Uric acid may be a marker of oxidative stress and may have a potential therapeutic role as an antioxidant.

Definition

A nitrogen compound produced from purines. In certain animals (e.g. birds and reptiles), it is the main excretory product resulting from breakdown of amino acids. In humans, uric acid crystals in the joints are the cause of gout.

Safety Profile

Experimental reproductive effects. Mutation data reported. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx.

Purification Methods

Crystallise uric acid from hot distilled H2O (the solubility in H2O is 1part/39,000parts at 18o and 1part/2,000parts at 100o). It is best purified by dissolving in an alkaline solution and acidifying with dilute HCl and drying it at 100o in a vacuum.
