The association between inosine triphosphate pyrophosphatase (ITPA) activity and toxicity of 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) was retrospectively evaluated in 65 Japanese children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Patients with an ITPA activity of less than 126μmol/h/gHb presented with hepatotoxicity more frequently than those with higher ITPA activity (p<0.01). The average 6-MP dose during maintenance...
Although 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) and azathioprine (AZA) are prescribed at lower doses, their efficacy in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in Japan is comparable to that in Europe/America. However, there has been no report concerning the measurement of erythrocyte 6-thioguanine nucleotides (6-TGN), which is an active metabolite of 6-MP or AZA, in Japanese IBD patients. This study was...
