Histological remission of autoimmune hepatitis after the addition of allopurinol and azathioprine dose reduction

open access: yesAutopsy and Case Reports, 2017
The standard therapy for some autoimmune diseases consists of a combination of corticosteroids and thiopurines. In non-responders to thiopurine drugs, the measurement of the metabolites of azathioprine, 6-thioguanine, and 6-methylmercaptopurine, can be a

Coagulase-negative staphylococci release a purine analog that inhibits Staphylococcus aureus virulence

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Coagulase-negative staphylococci and Staphylococcus aureus colonize similar niches in mammals. Here, Chin et al. show that a coagulase-negative staphylococcus secretes 6-thioguanine, a purine analog that suppresses S.

Adverse Reactions to Drugs of Special Interest in a Pediatric Oncohematology Service

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
Introduction: Drugs used in oncological diseases are frequently related to adverse drug reactions (ADR). Few studies have analyzed the toxicity of cancer treatments in children in real practice.Methods: An observational, longitudinal and prospective ...

Effect of 6-thioguanine on the stability of duplex DNA [PDF]

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 2005
Abstract The incorporation of 6-thioguanine (S6G) into DNA is a prerequisite for its cytotoxic action, but duplex structure is not significantly perturbed by the presence of the lesion [J. Bohon and C. R. de los Santos (2003) Nucleic Acids Res ., 31, 1331–1338]. It is therefore possible that the mechanism of cytotoxicity relies on a loss

The possibility of using shogaol for treatment of ulcerative colitis [PDF]

open access: yesIranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2018
Objective(s): This study aimed to investigate the effect of Shogaol on dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)- induced ulcerative colitis (UC) in mice compared to an immune-suppressant chemotherapeutic medicine, known as 6-thioguanine (6-TG). Materials and Methods:

Utility of Maternal 6-Thioguanine Nucleotide Levels in Predicting Neonatal Pancytopenia

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Perinatology Reports, 2013
An infant with pancytopenia was born to a mother who used the common immunosuppressant azathioprine (AZA). Maternal and neonatal blood levels of 6-thioguanine nucleotides (6TGN; metabolite of AZA) were 1890 and 1480 pmol/8 × 108 red blood cells ...

A Novel Electrochemical CuO-Nanostructure Platform for Simultaneous Determination of 6-thioguanine and 5-fluorouracil Anticancer Drugs

open access: yesActa Chimica Slovenica, 2020
Analysis of anticancer drugs is very important and necessary for the correct administration of them in the human body. Electrochemical behavior of 6-thioguanine (6-TG) has been studied using a carbon paste electrode modified by 1-ethyl-3 ...

Case Report: Azathioprine: An Old and Wronged Immunosuppressant

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
Mycophenolate rapidly substituted azathioprine (AZA) in transplant immunosuppression regimens since the 1990s, when early clinical trials indicated better outcomes, although opposite results were also observed. However, none of these trials used the well-

Electrochemical oxidation of 6-thioguanine

open access: yesJournal of Electroanalytical Chemistry and Interfacial Electrochemistry, 1986
Abstract The electrochemical exidation pathway of 6-thioguanine was investigated by cyclic voltammetry, constant-potential electrolysis, coulometry, UV/VIS spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Experimental evidence indicates that the oxidation pathway depends on potential.
