From: Lesinurad, a novel, oral compound for gout, acts to decrease serum uric acid through inhibition of urate transporters in the kidney

Effects of lesinurad on urate handling and lesinurad pharmacokinetics in healthy human volunteers. a Dose-dependent increase in fractional excretion of uric acid (FE UA ) after a single 200-mg, 400-mg, or 600-mg dose of lesinurad. FEUA was elevated from baseline (–18 to 0 hours) at 0–6 hours after dosing and then returned to normal after 24 hours. For all doses, p < 0.001 at 0–6 hours and 6–12 hours relative to baseline. b FEUA levels increased with increasing plasma lesinurad. The half-maximal effective concentration of plasma lesinurad concentrations on FEUA was 13 μM. Results are from healthy volunteers on a single 200-mg, 400-mg, or 600-mg dose of lesinurad. c Healthy volunteers on a single 200-mg, 400-mg, or 600-mg dose of lesinurad had a dose-dependent decrease in serum uric acid (sUA), for every drug treatment point for all doses relative to baseline, p <0.001. d Urinary excretion of lesinurad correlated linearly with plasma lesinurad following a single dose of 200, 400, or 600 mg lesinurad.
