Hypoxanthine

Hypoxanthine is a naturally occurring purine derivative, and one of the products of the action of xanthine oxidase on xanthine, though more normally in purine degradation, hypoxanthine is oxidized by xanthine oxidase to form xanthine. It is very occasionally found as a constituent of nucleic acids.
