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 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
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]
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]
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
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 ...

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
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
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.
