“Although allopurinal was partially protective against ethanol damage when administered chronically, observations in other models of injury suggest that this action is independent of its inhibitory effect on xanthine oxidase.”

“These ethanol effects decreased when the animals were given superoxide dismutase plus catalase (scavenger of O2− and H2O2, respectively), allopurinol , or oxypurinol (xanthine oxidase inhibitors).”

“All these … inhibited by allopurinol and were sensitive to heating for 5 … 100 degrees C. The biotransformation of ethanol to acetaldehyde in the presence of purines as cosubstrates was accompanied by the formation of … and 1HEt radicals as detected by GC-MS, and the process was inhibited by allopurinol.”

“Similarly, sucralfate (0.031-0.250 g/kg) orally and allopurinol (0.025-0.050 g/kg) intravenously inhibited vascular permeability caused by ethanol and treatment with N-ethylmaleimide before sucralfate or allopurinol reduced their inhibitory effects.”
