3 drugs for gout
Colchicine (acute gout; alternative is indomethacin)
Allopurinol (chronic gout)
Probenecid (chronic gout)
Mechanism of colchicine
Binds and stabilizes tubulin to inhibit polymerization, impairing leukocyte chemotaxis and degranulation
Mechanism of allopurinol
Inhibits xanthine oxidase, decreasing conversion of xanthine to uric acid
Mechanism of probenecid
Inhibits reabsorption of uric acid in PCT (and secretion of penicillin)
