Notes:
Abstract Metabolic studies in a case of Lesch-Nyhan syndrome are presented. De novo synthesis of purine was shown to be inhibited upon adenine administration. The excretion of oxypurines is elevated, however, by an increased incorporation of the administered adenine into purine bases. A side effect of adenine administration is the production of the slightly soluble and highly nephrotoxic 2,8-dioxyadenine, which can cause renal damage.
