Thiopurines Induce Oxidative Stress in T-Lymphocytes: A Proteomic Approach
Mediators of Inflammation, 2015 Thiopurines are extensively used immunosuppressants for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The polymorphism of thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) influences thiopurine metabolism and therapy outcome. We used a TPMT knockdown (kd) model

Thiopurine methyltransferase phenotypes and genotypes in Brazilians [PDF]
Pharmacogenetics, 2003 The polymorphism of thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) was studied in 306 healthy Brazilians who were classed, on the basis of self-declared colour and ancestry, as Euro-derived (n = 81), Afro-derived (n = 18) or having interethnic admixture (n = 204).

Gene expression and thiopurine metabolite profiling in inflammatory bowel disease - novel clues to drug targets and disease mechanisms? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Thiopurines are effective to induce and maintain remission in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The methyl thioinosine monophosphate (meTIMP)/6-thioguanine nucleotide (6-TGN) concentration ratio has been associated with drug efficacy.

Very important pharmacogene summary: thiopurine S-methyltransferase [PDF]
Pharmacogenetics and Genomics, 2010 Thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT, S-adenosyl-L-methionine : thiopurine S-methyltransferase; EC 2.1.1.67) catalyzes the S-methylation of thiopurine drugs such as 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) and azathioprine as well as other aromatic and heterocyclic sulfhydryl compounds [1,2].Weinshilboum and ...
