It is demonstrated that differential pulse voltammetry in connection with this electrode can serve as a simple and efficient tool for monitoring transformation of purine catabolites (HYP → XAN → UA) catalyzed by xanthine oxidase (XO) as well as inhibition of this pathway by ALO being enzymatically converted to OXY. Our protocol is based on direct electrochemical measurement of oxidation peaks for each of the substances during in vitro reactions in a single detection step by the same electrode system. In addition, we show that the proposed electrochemical technique can be applied to parallel detection of metabolites involved in the XO pathway excreted in urine without any pretreatment of the clinical samples.
