Inosine and hypoxanthine fall into this(*) class of compounds. Uric acid is a common byproduct of their metabolism, which causes gout. Thesecompounds contain a six-membered ring fused to a five-membered ring. For 10 points, name theseheterocyclic compounds that include guanine and adenine, which along with pyrimidines make up DNA.
