Dotinurad (Urece) is a drug for the treatment of gout and hyperuricemia.[1][2] It was developed by Fuji Yakuhin and approved for use in Japan in 2020.[2][3] The drug is continuing clinical trials by Fortress Biotech and regulatory evaluation for approval in North America and Europe.[3][4]

Dotinurad acts as a selective urate reabsorption inhibitor that has uric acid lowering activity by inhibiting URAT1/SLC22A12 receptor. It is a structural analog of Benzbromarone. [5][6]
