Xanthine Oxidase inhibitory activity from potential Malaysian medicinal plants as remedies for gout

Malaysia has a rich diversity of medicinal plants and some of them have the property to inhibit xanthine oxidase (XO), which can be introduced as new natural source of gout medication and a substitute for synthetic xanthine oxidase inhibitors (XOI), specifically Allopurinol which has many side effec...
