Gout is a disease caused by the deposit of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals that produce joint inflammation and subcutaneous nodules (tophi). The treatment of gout aims to reduce serum uric acid (sUA) levels by administering urate-lowering therapies (ULT) such as xanthine oxidase inhibitors (XOI: allopurinol, febuxostat) or uricosurics (e.g.

Background: Urate transporter 1 (URAT1) is a well-known therapeutic target for reducing urate levels in the treatment of hyperuricemia and gout. However, current pharmacological studies have failed to evaluate the efficacy of URAT1 inhibitors in non-primate animal models. We established a human URAT1 (hURAT1) transgenic knock-in (KI) mouse model to assess uricosuric agents' effectiveness and characterize URAT1-caused pathogenesis.

Introduction: Gout is a common form of acute inflammatory arthritis caused by the deposition of monosodium urate crystals within synovium of joints. This leads to severe pain, reducing quality of life for patients with this condition.
Areas Covered: This review summarizes the treatment of both acute flares of gout and urate-lowering therapy based on guidance from various major international societies.

Urate transporter 1 (URAT1) is a therapeutic target for the treatment of hyperuricemia and gout. However, the application of currently marketed URAT1 inhibitors is hampered by insufficient efficacy and poor safety profiles. A series of N-phenyl-N-(quinolin-4-yl) amino carboxylic acids were designed by adopting strategies of molecular hybridization, scaffold hopping, and functional variation.
