The family Flaviviridae comprises positive-strand RNA viral pathogens of humans and livestock with few treatment options. We have previously shown that azathioprine (AZA) has in vitro activity against bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV). While the mechanism of inhibition is unknown, AZA and related thiopurine nucleoside analogues have been used as ...

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 ...
