Implications of tioguanine dosing in IBD patients with a TPMT deficiency

2023-01-23

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Purpose: </h4> Tioguanine is metabolised by less enzymatic steps compared to azathioprine and mercaptopurine, without generating 6-methylmercaptopurine ribonucleotides. However, thiopurine S-methyl transferase (TPMT) plays a role in early toxicity in all thiopurines. We aimed to describe the hazards and opportunities of tioguanine use in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients with aberrant TPMT metabolism a...
