Model‐Based Strategy for 6‐Mercaptopurine Treatment in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Maintenance Phase: Prediction of 6‐TGN and 6‐MMP Concentrations to Optimize Treatment

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, Volume 73, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common pediatric cancer. The pro‐drug 6‐mercaptopurine (6‐MP), essential during maintenance, is converted into active 6‐thioguanine (6‐TGN) and toxic 6‐methylmercaptopurine (6‐MMP) metabolites, resulting in marked variability in efficacy and toxicity.

Azathioprine-Induced Peripheral T Cell Apoptosis And Drug Response In Patients With Crohn’s Disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background and Aim: the long time interval for a trial of thioupurine therapy and the potential side effects in spite of the proven efficacy, do not encourage their use as early therapeutic option in Crohn’s Disease (CD).

Carcinogenic Medications: A Review of Specific Agents and Molecular Mechanisms of Carcinogenesis

open access: yesCancer Reports, Volume 9, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Pharmacovigilance has revealed an alarming correlation between certain medications and a higher risk of cancer. In this narrative review, included research from 2020 to 2025, along with a few seminal older studies, so that it provides a clear picture of which drugs actually set off cancer and mechanisms involved at the molecular ...

Drug metabolizing enzyme activities versus genetic variances for drug of clinical pharmacogenomic relevance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Enzymes are critically important in the transportation, metabolism, and clearance of most therapeutic drugs used in clinical practice today. Many of these enzymes have significant genetic polymorphisms that affect the enzyme's rate kinetics.
