Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
SYNOPSIS. Allopurinol, 4‐hydroxypyrazolo[3,4‐d] pyrimidine, a relatively non‐toxic xanthine‐oxidase inhibitor used to treat gout, inhibited growth (ID 1.0 μg/ml) of the trypanosomatid flagellate of insects Crithidia fasciculata in minimal media in respect to biopterin, folic acid and purine. Allopurinol inhibition was antagonized by thymidine (4.0 μg/ml) when a) biopterin (≥ 1.0 ng) was present alone; traces of folate entering from the inoculum or contamination of chemicals probably sufficed here to satisfy the folate requirement; b) biopterin (5% pure) 1.0 ng was added together with either pteroylglutamic acid (PGA) 4.0 ng or hypoxanthine 0.01 mg. With biopterin absent, full growth was permitted by PGA 10 ng + hypoxanthine 0.03 mg, and completely inhibited by the standard concentration of allopurinol, but in this instance thymidine did not release the inhibition. Allopurinol is therefore useful for investigating pteridine function via inhibition analysis with the singularity that folate acts uniquely in trypanosomatids as precursor of biopterin, and the complication that both pteridines catalyze multiple biosyntheses. The biosynthetic step between folate and biopterin is postulated to be a site of inhibition of allopurinol in Crithidia. Copyright © 1970, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved
