The decline of 6‐thioguanine nucleotides is not linked to impaired efficacy or safety of thiopurines in pregnant women with inflammatory bowel disease

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background Thiopurines are used to maintain remission in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). These drugs are metabolized into 6‐thioguanine nucleotides (6‐TGN), associated with efficacy, and 6‐methylmercaptopurine ribonucleotides (6‐MMPR), associated with adverse drug reactions. Pregnancy has been linked to a shift in thiopurine metabolism, characterized
