Inter-individual variance in 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) dose intensity is common in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). We aimed to evaluate the association of common variants of ABCC4, ITPA, NUDT15, and TPMT with 6-MP dose intensity and ...

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,

Change in hematologic indices over time in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease treated with azathioprine [PDF]
Azathioprine leads to changes in mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and white blood cell (WBC) indices reflecting efficacy or toxicity. Understanding the interactions between bone marrow stem cells and azathioprine could highlight abnormal response patterns ...

Implementation of
The activity of the enzyme thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) is regulated by a common genetic polymorphism. One in 300 individuals lack enzyme activity and 11% are heterozygous for a variant low activity allele and have an intermediate activity. The thiopurine drugs azathioprine, mercaptopurine and thioguanine are substrates for TPMT; these drugs ...

Thiopurine methyltransferase polymorphisms in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Introduction: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common malignancy in children. 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) and methotrexate are backbone drugs for maintenance phase of treatment. Purine Analogs 6-MP/6-thioguanine/azathiopurine are metabolized to
