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 ...

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

Individualised doses of azathioprine (AZA) may be prescribed by monitoring the levels of the enzyme thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT). The measurements of thiopurine metabolites of AZA, 6-thioguanine (6-TGN) and 6-methylmercaptopurine (6-MMP), have also been reported as new markers of AZA activity.To describe TPMT phenotype in our population and to ...
