Potential reaction pathways for urate radicals that are formed when urate is oxidized by LPO. Dehydrourate, 5-hydroxyisourate, and allantoin were detected directly by mass spectrometry. The structure of urate hydroperoxide is a proposal only. Straight arrows represent direct reactions, and dashed arrows represent breakdown pathways.
