URIC ACID VALUE INHIBITOR AND PURINE BODY ADSORBENT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an uric acid value inhibitor capable of safely inhibiting the increase of an uric acid value in a serum without adverse effect.

SOLUTION: The uric acid value inhibitor comprises activated carbon. The above problem is solved by absorbing a purine body which is a causative agent of uric acid contained in foods into the activated carbon in the stomach and intestines to discharge the purine body and reduce the uric acid amount produced by metabolism. It was found that the purine body can selectively be absorbed by using activated carbon surface-treated with a hydrophilic group or a surfactant to complete the present invention.
