Pharmacogenetics-based personalized treatment in patients with inflammatory bowel disease: A review [PDF]
The development of treatment options has revolutionized the prognosis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, a particular group of patients still experience therapeutic failure or drug side effects.

gene variants and thiopurine-induced leukopenia in patients with inflammatory bowel disease [PDF]
Thiopurine has been used to maintain remission and to reduce antidrug antibody formation in monoclonal antibody therapy in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The use of thiopurine is limited by side effects such as leukopenia.

Association between thiopurine S-methyltransferase polymorphisms and thiopurine-induced adverse drug reactions in patients with inflammatory bowel disease: a meta-analysis. [PDF]
Thiopurine drugs are well established treatments in the management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but their use is limited by significant adverse drug reactions (ADRs).

Thiopurines, including thioguanine (TG), 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP), and azathioprine (AZA), are extensively used in clinical practice in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and inflammatory bowel diseases.

Background Polymorphisms in thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) and Nudix hydrolase-15 (NUDT15) have been implicated as the predominant cause of thiopurine induced leukopenia in the Western countries and East Asia respectively.

Azathioprine‐induced pancytopenia: A case report
Azathioprine (AZA) is commonly used as immunosuppressive therapy for autoimmune diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Myelosuppression is a common side effect of AZA.

Monitoring concentrations of thiopurine metabolites is used clinically to prevent adverse effects in patients on thiopurine drug therapy. We developed a LC–MS/MS method for the quantification of 6-thioguanine (6-TG) and 6-methylmercaptopurine (6-MMP) in ...

6-thioguanine treatment in inflammatory bowel disease: A critical appraisal by a European 6-TG working party [PDF]
Recently, the suggestion to use 6-thioguanine (6-TG) as an alternative thiopurine in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been discarded due to reports about possible (hepato) toxicity. During meetings arranged in Vienna and Prague in 2004,

Objective The nucleoside diphosphate linked moiety X (Nudix)-Type motif 15 (NUDT15) enzyme is involved in thiopurine metabolism. Genetic variants in the NUDT15 gene result in decreased NUDT15 activity, which in addition to decreased thiopurine S ...

The fate of thiopurine metabolites after switching to low-dose thiopurine with allopurinol or thioguanine in IBD patients: A retrospective analysis. [PDF]
Aims Shunting (hypermethylating) thiopurine metabolism, characterized by excessive 6‐MMPR production and (sub)therapeutic 6‐TGN levels, poses a significant challenge in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This study evaluates the metabolic outcomes of switching to low‐dose thiopurine with allopurinol (LDTA) or thioguanine (TG) in IBD ...
