Let's get personal:predicting thiopurine and fluoropyrimidine toxicity
The US FDA now recognizes the need to individualize treatment paradigms using biomarkers that predict response to therapy. In clinical practice the best example of this is TPMT testing, which is used to rationalize the starting dose of azathioprine and ...

Understanding the molecular mechanisms of medicines is crucial for developing novel drugs, for repurposing existing medicines, and for predicting toxicities. Thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) serves as an exemplary case in personalized medicine, as its activity is influenced by genetic variants, co-factors, substrates, and inhibitors, which lead to

Pharmacogenetic studies of thiopurines : focus on thiopurine methyltransferase
Pharmacogenetics represents the study ofvariability in drug response due to genetic variations. The thiopurines (6-mercaptopurine, 6-thioguanine and azathioprine) are prodrugs which require metabolic transformation to exert effect. Thiopurines are used in inflammatory bowel disease, as maintenance treatment of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia ...

Clinical significance of thiopurine S-methyltransferase gene polymorphisms
Thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) is an important enzyme that catalyzes the S-methylation of a series of thiopurine drugs, including 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP), thioguanine and azathiopurine (AZA), to generate inactive methylated metabolites.
