Bifunctional compounds that increase uric acid excretion and reduce uric acid production, and monofunctional compounds that either increase uric acid excretion or reduce uric acid production. Methods of using these compounds for reducing uric acid levels in blood or serum, for treating disorders or uric acid metabolism, and for maintaining normal uric acid levels in blood or serum are provided. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the bifunctional and monofunctional compounds are also provided.

The present disclosure discloses a deuterated organic compound and a formulation and an organic electronic device containing the same, wherein the deuterated organic compound has the following structural formula:

##STR00001##

wherein Ar is an aromatic or heteroaromatic structural unit, D is an electron donor group, A is an electron acceptor group, n and m are an integer between 1 and 6; and wherein for the organic compound, (S1-T1)≦0.25 eV, and at least one H atom of the organic compound is substituted by deuterium. The present disclosure achieves the improvement of the electroluminescence quantum efficiency and the lifetime of the organic compound by replacing the H atom in the organic compound with deuterium and having (S1-T1)≦0.35 eV, and the material of the present disclosure has a great application potential and application range due to its low cost and relatively simple synthesis process.
