Dietary polyphenols influence antimetabolite agents: methotrexate, 6-mercaptopurine and 5-fluorouracil in leukemia cell lines [PDF]
Polyphenols have been previously shown to sensitize leukemia cell lines to topoisomerase inhibitors. Here, we assess the effects of five polyphenols when used alone and in combination with antimetabolites: methotrexate, 6-mercaptopurine and 5 ...

Variants in TPMT, ITPA, ABCC4 and ABCB1 genes as predictors of 6-mercaptopurine induced toxicity in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia [PDF]
Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is the most common childhood malignancy. Optimal use of anti leukemic drugs has led to less toxicity and adverse reactions, and a higher survival rate. Thiopurine drugs, including 6-mercaptopurine, are mostly used

Effects of catechins, resveratrol, silymarin components and some of their conjugates on xanthine oxidase-catalyzed xanthine and 6-mercaptopurine oxidation. [PDF]
Abstract BACKGROUND Over the past two decades, the global incidence of gout has markedly increased, affecting people worldwide. Considering the side effects of xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitor drugs (e.g. allopurinol and febuxostat) used in the treatment of hyperuricemia and gout, the potential application of phytochemicals has been widely studied.

Inhibition of resistant triple-negative breast cancer cells with low-dose 6-mercaptopurine and 5-azacitidine. [PDF]
Highly adaptable breast cancer cells that can opportunistically switch between proliferation and quiescence are often responsible for disease relapse. We have developed a function-based selection strategy for such resistant cells, exemplified by SUM149 ...

Genetic Determinants of Hematopoietic Toxicity Risk in Thai Pediatric Patients Undergoing 6-Mercaptopurine Treatment. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The nucleoside diphosphate‐linked moiety X‐type motif 15 (NUDT15) has been identified as a key genetic determinant of 6‐mercaptopurine (6‐MP)‐induced hematopoietic toxicity in populations with a high frequency of NUDT15 variants but a low frequency of thiopurine S‐methyltransferase (TPMT) variants.

Precision therapy of 6-mercaptopurine in Chinese children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. [PDF]
Chinese children are more susceptible to the development of thiopurine‐induced leukopenia compared with Caucasian populations. The aim of our study was to establish a 6‐mercaptopurine (6‐MP) dose–concentration–response relationship through exploration of

Flavonoids are natural phenolic compounds, which are the active ingredients in several dietary supplements. It is well-known that some flavonoid aglycones are potent inhibitors of the xanthine oxidase (XO)-catalyzed uric acid formation in vitro. However,

Inadequate myelosuppression during maintenance therapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is associated with an increased risk of relapse. One mechanism is skewed metabolism of 6‐mercaptopurine (6MP), a major component of maintenance therapy, which ...

6-Mercaptopurine teratogenicity [PDF]
We read with interest the review article on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in pregnancy.1 The author mentions that there has never been any demonstration of teratogenicity of 6-mercaptopurine (or azathioprine) in humans. We would like to report a case, which we encountered, of an infant with multiple congenital abnormalities whose mother received 6 ...
